Beautiful hotel! It is is the middle of town but feels like you are in a park. The rooms are simple and clean. The deck (on each room) is awesome. Our host Mathieu is very helpful and nice. Short shuttle ride from the airport. Great place to stay and we intend to return.

My partner and I lucked into Hotel Pibi Boreal last week while we were in Costa Rica and we didn't want to leave! It's a short 20 min drive outside San Jose and it feels like you're well out of the city. Picture being in the woods at a coffee farm or winery - that's what it's like. And somehow magically only 20 min from the airport. The family who runs this hotel are the nicest, most welcoming people. They truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome during our very short one night stay. Next time we'll stay 3 nights and explore the nature around the gorgeous Hotel Pibi Boreal. Truly a beautiful hidden treasure. No need to look elsewhere.
