Staff was excellent! Food was great and reasonably priced. Rooms are clean and spacious. Birding trails are beautiful!
Only downside: shower didn’t get hot
We enjoyed the grounds and restaurant very much! Good food and lots of birds in the morning. Dinner was one of the best meals we had in Costa Rica! Staff was great and handed us umbrellas when we drove in during a downpour. Close to airport as well.
What a beautiful little gem in the middle of the city. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the beds were incredible. The pool was also gorgeous. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and the service was spectacular. The food was good but not the best I've had. Shampoo, etc. in the shower would have been a plus but that is the only drawback for me! Great place and a great price.
From the front gate guard to the front desk and restaurant staff- everyone was super kind and helpful! The Villa property is absolutely gorgeous. The trail through the forest was beautiful and you’re able to see all kinds of birds. The restaurant had great food. Would 10/10 recommend staying here!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
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.
Villa San Ignacio is my new home away from home. They make you feel welcome & safe! The rooms are quaint & clean with the absolute best service I’ve ever had. The chef at the Pandora restaurant has gifted hands & everything I ate was delicious! Looking forward to visiting again!!
Fairly basic rooms but clean and comfy beds and shower was good
Lovely gardens, we enjoyed watching the army ants carry leaves along the path
Pool was nice to sit by in the afternoon and for a refreshing dip
Breakfast was delicious, good coffee
Enjoyed cocktail hour with crisps and dips
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.
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.
