This place was beautiful and the owners were so nice and accommodating! Very much enjoyed our stay here and recommend it to anyone wanting the tranquility of a bed and breakfast in Costa Rica.
nice place to stay after we got in late from our flight. Room was comfortable and breakfast was served to our door and we ate on the patio which was super relaxing. Great service, friendly staff. Felt very safe:)
Amazing forest all around, you are in the trees. Sadly we were unable to stay for breakfast as we were there one night and had to leave very early for our flight. Great staff and great recommendations for dinner
Excellent location close to the airport and yet seemed like you were in a rural part. Nice nature path behind the hotel. Nice continental breakfast (fruits, croissants, toast, coffee). The owners Mathieu and Nidia are very helpful with suggestions of where to go and where to eat. Would definitely stay there again.
Property had many many greeneries, which makes it beautiful. It was my first time in CR and the staff was super helpful making me feel less stress and safer. Next time I will definitely return to Pibi for a longer stay.
This property is beautiful and quiet. It is about 15 minutes away from the airport. What makes it even more pleasant is the wonderful owners who make your stay comfortable and relaxed. The breakfast is great and they try their best to accommodate your needs. I definitely recommend Pibi boreal.
This place is amazing. Also, the family running it are so friendly. They are great host’s delivering breakfast to our door each morning. The room was very large and very clean. It was also a very secure location with great views. I would highly recommend to others.
El hotel es lindísimo, sólo hay 5 cuartos con vistas hermosas, hay espacios muy lindos para caminar y el desayuno te lo llevan a la habitación para poderlo disfrutar en tu terraza privada.
Definitivamente lo recomiendo, Nidia y Mathieu son excelentes anfitriones.
The hosts were great.
Our flight was delayed and it was no issue in changing our pick up time.
Breakfast was a decent start to the day.
They also helped get us a taxi to our car rental, which was very speedy.
The beds were comfortable with plenty of space in the room.
Everything was very clean.
My only complaint, was that within minutes after arriving we received a messege to talk quieter. I did not see it until days later, as it was on whatsapp. However it was 945pm.
We were connecting with our friends from another state, so yes we were excited. We were in bed by 10pm.
I would suggest you list your quiet hours on your website to avoid any future negativity or disruption to other guests.
