Great family-owned hotel with lovely hosts!
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The couple that runs this place are both kind and helpful. The grounds are lovely! If you're looking for a place to stay before or after the airport, it's a way to continue to get the beautiful nature offered by Costa Rica but still be very close to the airport (and a shuttle is provided!).

Great Location. Quiet & Peaceful. 20 min. for SJO
We were a group of 9 adults coming in to stay for one night before our morning flight out the next day. The hosts were very responsive and kind. They welcomed us and even picked us up from the rental car agency after dropping off our cars. The balconies are really nice. We enjoyed sitting outside and relaxing on our last night in Costa Rica. The next morning, we had a very early flight. Our host arranged for transportation for part of our group (since there were 9 of us with luggage) and shuttled us to the airport. His wife made warm croissants for us to take with us since we were leaving so early and missing breakfast. We couldn't have asked for better hospitality.

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.

Ana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This family owned hotel is very convenient to the airport without feeling like you're right next to the airport. The grounds were beautiful and the owners were very kind. They let me check-in early and check-out later (I think also because I went during low season). They also provide one-way transport to or from the airport as well as a breakfast of coffee, fruit, toast, and jam.

Beautiful room in the trees
This hotel is beautiful. The owners made sure our stay was perfect. They brought a breakfast at exactly the time we requested. Croissants, fruit, toast and coffee. The balcony overlooked a forest. And they shuttled us to the airport at 5:15AM! Highly recommend.

Nice place
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:)

Beautiful place, lovely people
I stayed one night before catching a flight out of San Jose. The property is beautiful, and the hosts Nidia and Michael are very welcoming and attentive. They speak multiple languages including Spanish, English, French and I believe German. The room was very clean, and had a balcony surrounded by flowers. A breakfast of fresh fruit, croissants, toast and jam, and tea was delivered to my room. In the morning, Michael drove me to the airport at no extra charge. There is a small fish pond and garden. The property itself is small and protected by a fence/gate. I wasn't there long enough to explore outside of the gate. Uber Eats delivers to the property. There is wifi, but no tv in the room. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay fairly close to the airport, I highly recommend Hotel Pibi.

8/10 Very good

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
