It was my husband and I, first time visiting Costa Rica and it won't be our last. I would definitely recommend Hotel Pibi Boreal. It's a family owned hotel. You are treated very well from the time you get picked up. The property is a peaceful and tropical atmosphere. If that's what you love then, this would definitely be the place. The best part of our stay is having breakfast delivered to my room every morning and sitting on the balcony and eating while listening to the tropical wildlife. Thanks to Mathieu, his wife and also Sebastian for making our birthday weekend special.

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.

Great first night
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.
