Staff were very friendly. The room was clean and quiet. Just what was needed for our last night after exploring several regions of Costa Rica - hotel chosen as being close to the airport - just a cheap uber away.

Best hotel in San Jose!

I felt so welcome the moment I walked onto the property. It’s a very secure place and I felt very safe, especially as a female, solo traveler. The check in was very easy and the kind security guard helped me to my room. Jennifer (I believe her name is) is extremely sweet and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. Everyone was so nice! The restaurant staff is so attentive and very efficient with the food orders. I was so happy to enjoy the free breakfast, the pool, and the wonderful room. Everything was very clean and organized. I wish to return soon! This will be my first choice for hotels in San Jose :) Muchas gracias!!

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!
