Great stay- Be sure to check out the trails!

Villa San Ignacio is a beautiful hotel creatively nestled in nature, but close to the hustle and bustle. The staff was very friendly and helpful with my late arrival. My room was clean with great little touches for a comfortable and productive stay. A small desk for working, floorspace for yoga by the bed, beautiful natural light, and a very comfortable bed. I enjoyed my breakfast, then a walk through the jungle trails on the property, and a quick dip in the pool. Highly recommend this unique stay!

What an amazing place. The room was beautiful, food was out of this world and staff was courteous and professional. The gardens and plants are mind blowing. You can spend the day walking and discovering! This is a must stay place.

Because of the proximity to SJO airport, I booked this hotel as an "in-between" after a long travel day ... But what a surprise, this place is a little piece of heaven right outside the city! The hotel property is like it's own little secret National Park! Rooms have air conditioning via a mini-split and private patios looking over the grounds! Plenty of parking if you're renting a car. Very well kept with even some hiking trails! The restaurant is a lovely indoor/outdoor setting and we had some pretty incredible meals! The only thing I regret is not booking this place for longer! We will be back!

Excellent place to stay for a night on arrival as its only around 20 minutes from the airport. A lovely place to start our trip with a very authentic feel. We didn’t get to experience much as we were so tired after our flight but the breakfast was amazing. Price was excellent

The “Honeymoon Suite” with 1 king bed had a ton of space and a large outdoor terrace (it was on the second floor). The restaurant was good for both dinner and the included breakfast. It is on a busy road but feels secluded with the gate and large property.

Absolutely gorgeous property! Comfy rooms, beautiful views, great staff and really good food. We felt welcome and safe at the gated property. Kids also very thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Would definitely make this a #1 stay next time we come back.

Stayed here for one night before an early flight out of SJO. Property was a little bit run down but clean and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant was convenient and prices were very fair. Only complaint is that we could hear some road noise, and found lots of little critters in our room. Overall, great value for what we paid.
