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 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.

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.

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.
