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!!

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.

A little oasis about half an hour from the airport. A great place to spend our first night in Costa Rica instead of rushing off somewhere after our plane landed
Kevin, 1-night trip

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!

Wonderful hotel about a half an hour from the airport, even during traffic hours. The pool is splendid, and the restaurant very tasty.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Melissa, 1-night trip

A perfect stop for our last evening before catching an early flight home. Property is peaceful and beautiful, staff is very friendly and helpful, food at restaurant was surprisingly good. I would highly recommend as a stay.

I loved how well we were treated. The resort staff ensured that we had a great room that best suited my family of 4 adults. The staff were helpful, the room was clean, the restaurant was great! Thank you for helping to make our trip amazing!

Tropical garden near the airport

We chose this as our first night in Costa Rica due to proximity to the airport (20min drive) Lovely pool area and the food at the onsite restaurant is delicious and such good value. Staff were helpful and approachable We explored the onsite walking trails and the garden setting is lush and tropical.

The food from the restaurant was excellent and reasonable. Staff was helpful. The grounds were fun to walk around on. Saw just a few birds but good birds. Visited in April.
Penny, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We reserved a room and spent 7 hours on the property before our midnight flight. We're so happy we did. We walked the trails on the property, enjoyed the pool, and had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. We thought the menu was great and reasonabley priced. It felt like a bonus vacation day.

10/10 Exceptional

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!
