Hotel Pibi Boreal is ideal for short stays if you don’t want to travel immediately after landing in Costa Rica. We were warmly welcomed by the host, who picked us up directly from the airport and drove us to the hotel. Upon arrival, we arranged breakfast for the following morning, which we enjoyed on the balcony of our room—a lovely, relaxing start to the day. Everything was spotless, and we even took a peaceful walk around the beautiful property. Absolutely glorious—highly recommended!

The place is clean, and very cozy it really feels like home. The host was amazing, always friendly and attentive. The location is very central, so everything is close by, and the airport shuttle service was a huge plus, super convenient. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again without a doubt.

Free shuttle to airport at 5.15am. Due to early flight we thought we would miss out on our inclusive breakfast, however the guy at reception organised a “brekky to go” for us.

Handy hotel very close to the airport (5 min by taxi). Staff was kind, smooth check-in even at night. The room was big, comfortable bed. Clean room, very basic but still pleasant. They have a small yard with small pool, relax area. The breakfast was very good! Just remember that you are close to the airport so there is noise.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much...

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

    Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

    Perfect structure next to the airport to start and/or conclude the trip in Costarica. The Alajuela quarter where the hotel is located is nice, typical. Good to visit if you have some part of the initial/final day in Costarica. Owners are kind and very well organized (also with social media) and can help you, about the transport from/to the airport.

    Ex-hotel converted to dorms, which means every room has a bathroom. No trekking down a corridor to use a shower or bathroom. Superb location right next to the central square in Alajuela. Plenty of shops and eateries around. The best bit: free pick up from the airport. Nice! Staff were friendly and super helpful with information.
