Guest Reviews
- Julie (9/5): Unexpectedly beautiful stay in the center of the city - airport adjacent with easy transport - This was a beautiful location, pictures don’t even do it justice. We stayed here our last night before flying out and wish we had more time to relax on the beautiful property and by the pool. The breakfast was a full service meal in the very nice restaurant with a quaint patio. Would highly recommend this hotel especially at the amazing price As other reviews mention it’s off a main road which you can hear occasionally but did not keep us up at night.
- Cesar (8/5): - Clean
Not bad
- Dror (10/5): מעולה! - מקום נעים ונקי
- Linghui (7/5): Beautiful gardens and the small forest hiking trails, but the noisy road, Wi-Fi in the room is slow, breakfast is small, - Beautiful gardens, hiking trails, and close to the airport Next to the noisy road, no airport shuttle , poor Wi-Fi, small breakfast. No water kettle in the room.
- Annalise (6/5): Nice hotel but out of the way - The rooms were comfy and modern. We had a long day of travelling so we were grateful there was an onsite restaurant. We had dinner and breakfast there. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were very kind. My family enjjoyed the onsite hiking trails. My family got sick from the dinner we ate at the restaurant. There were no other reasonable options nearby for a meal.
- Jean-Yves (8/5): -
- Ivannia (9/5): - Very nice, cozy, little hotel.
Apenas para una escadita sin ir muy lejos

- Rogers (9/5): -
- Mark (8/5): -
- jaime (8/5): - Ambiente agradável em meio de mata preservada, com muitas plantas e flores. O quarto com pouca iluminação e o banheiro sem box.
- Heidi (8/5): Traumhafte Unterkunft an stark befahrener Straße - Toller Garten, sehr freundliches Personal Je nach Zimmerlage hört Mann den Verkehrslärm sehr stark
- Bernard (9/5): Très bon hôtel sur la route de Poas - Emplacement pas très loin de l’aéroport et sur la route du parc Poas
Le jardin tropical
Le restaurant et la piscine
Le personnel très agréable Malgré la proximité de la route, on entend peu le trafic depuis la chambre
- OLIVIER (8/5): -
- Tina (10/5): -
- jakub (9/5): Generalnie polecam. - Sam obiekt położony w pięknym ogrodzie, pokoje wyposażone standardowo, ale brak jest w nim czajnika i telewizora. Hotel jest położony przy ulicy odgrodzony wysokim murem jednakże w naszym pokoju nr 3 było słychać przejeżdżające samochody. Śniadania w formie menu - dania do wyboru bardzo fajna forma. Ceny w restauracja atrakcyjne (jak na Kostarykę). Basen w porządku. Pokoje bardzo czyste. Wszystko w należytym porządku. Obsługa perfekcyjna. Hałas od ulicy. Pokoje które mają okna od ulicy będą głośne
- David (9/5): Great place to start birding in Costa Rica. - Love the proximity to SJO airport, especially after a long day of travel. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and full of diverse fauna and flora. The staff was very friendly and always accommodating. N/A
- Patricia (9/5): Corta estadía pero cómoda y distendida - Si totalmente Todo sus instalaciones,sus jardines y piscina
- Jonas (9/5): -
- Marije (9/5): Sfeervol en Prachtige locatie! - Boetiek stijl hotel met een prachtige tuin! Bij mijn boeking had ik niet gezien dat ik door een baby als derde kind een extra kamer kreeg. Hierdoor lagen we als gezin verspreid, wat niet nodig geweest was.
- Bob (10/5): Great value and a delightfully cosy and very friendly experience (and great birding too!). Thank you - The first impression was what a beautiful setting the Villa has surrounded by wonderful trees and casual gardens. Our room was a delight and always cleaned and tidied immaculately. Then the staff who were always smiling, always helpful, always cheerful. It was a delight to know them. The restaurant settings (inside and outside) and menus (and food) were equally wonderful. If you are a birdwatcher (I am) the gardens provide plenty of activity and I highly recommend it to birders. After our week away exploring the pacific coast we decided to come back to the Villa to be greeted like old friends. We scored the Villa and the staff among the very best we experienced travelling for 2 months in South and Central America and thoroughly recommend to everyone!!! Thank You. Honestly? No doubt individuals will have different priorities but we gave it it 10 out of 10.
- Marije (10/5): Hier komen we zeker terug! - Een verblijf om terug te komen! Genoten van alles!
- Valeria (10/5): -
- Kelly (8/5): -
- Angela (9/5): Lekkere accomodatie dicht bij het vliegveld. Prima om je vakantie mee te starten of te eindigen -
- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Mercedes (8/5): Ideal para una estancia antes de ir rumbo al aeropuerto o al contrario - La amabilidad de todo el personal del hotel y el entorno del mismo La lejanía del pueblo, necesitas coche para cualquier desplazamiento
- Valérie (7/5): Hôtel calme près de l’aéroport - Chambre propre dans un environnement agréable
Personnel très sympathique Rien
- Jean-Yves (8/5): -
- Francesca (8/5): Camera accogliente e pulita, a mezz’ora circa dall’aeroporto di San José. Ottima colazione. Staff gentile e accogliente. - La pulizia della stanza e la colazione Mancava il phon
- martine (9/5): - Heerlijk ontbijt
- Jorge (9/5): - Muy buena atencion...esta a 40 min . Mas o menos del aeropuerto....llegamos rotos del viaje y alquilamos auto para ir al sur......inmejorable opcion para salir al otro dia descansado....bien comido y con un lindo desenchufe despues del desayuno (abundante y variado) en la pileta.... a las 11 salimos a la ruta fresquitos.....excelente plan
- Victoria (7/5): -
- VINCENT (6/5): -
- Nicole (8/5): Boven verwachting, comfortabel, vriendelijk, goed restaurant. - Mooi en rustgevend complex in een groene tuin op een half uurtje van het vliegveld. Geen föhn en geen koffie/thee faciliteiten op de kamer.
- Roberto (9/5): -
- Marieke (10/5): Heerlijk aanrader - Lieve mensen heerlijk ontbijt fijn zwembad perfecte start van de reis Niets

- Jean-Charles (10/5): Très bel hôtel avec tout confort - Magnifique lieu avec un très beau jardin Ras
- Kathrin (8/5): J'y retournerais tout en demandant d'avoir une chambre située loin de la route - Bel hôtel, confortable et avec une piscine très appréciable.
On mange bien dans le restaurant.
Comme notre vol était très tôt le matin, on nous a apporté dans la chambre du café et quelque chose à manger avant notre départ. Merci! Notre chambre était à proximité d'une route parfois bruyante dans la nuit
- Bertrand (9/5): Excellent séjour - Repas et petit déjeuner excellents
Jardin très beau
Parc sécurisé Possible bruit de route selon la chambre
- LUCIE (10/5): Petit Eden en plein cœur de ville - Super literie , tres beau jardin luxuriant Revoir la propreté de l’eau de la piscine
- Katie (8/5): -
- Jens (7/5): - Flughafennähe, dadurch für die erste oder letzte Nacht geeignet. Das parkähnliche Unterkunftsgelände lädt zu Erkundungsgängen ein. Der nächtliche Straßenlärm war teilweise unerträglich. Es liegt an der Motorbremse der Sattelzüge, die auf der angrenzenden Gefällstrecke zum Einsatz kommen und ohrenbetäubenden Lärm verursachen. Wir hatten ein Zimmer in Richtung Straße; ob die abgewandten Zimmer leiser sind, kann ich nicht sagen.
- Tagilde (8/5): Nice - It is located in a very nice luxurious vegetation . Many nice trees and flowers surround the property. The room is very basic , it could have been a bit better .
- Sonia (9/5): -
- Glen (9/5): -
- Emily (7/5): Perfect stay before heading to the airport in the morning. Accommodating staff who were very kind and helpful. - It had a charming main building and the setting was secluded. Everything seems a bit worn out and in need of updating. The pool area was pretty, but needs new chairs and some cleaning.
- didier (8/5): -
- Richard (10/5): Beautiful hotel and gardens. Staff very efficient and friendly. Tasty and beautifully presented. Great location to drop - Spacious rooms, peaceful. Great staff Nothing
- MELANIA ELISA (10/5): - Loved everything about our stay! The rooms, gardens, bar and common spaces are just amazing.
- Sharon (9/5): -
- Khaled (8/5): -
- charlotte (8/5): - Le parc, la piscine Le bruit de la route
- CRISTINA (9/5): Buena elección para pernoctar en Alajuela. - Instalaciones, desayuno completo, habitación amplia y personal muy hospitalario. El ruido de vehículos pasando por la carretera que está pegada,se oye mucho desde el interior de la habitación.
- Sue (8/5): -
- Katharina (10/5): Für den Urlaubsbeginn oder als letzte Übernachtung: perfekt!! - Unkomplizierter, netter Kontakt, tolles Essen, saubere Anlage!
- Emilio (7/5): -
- Anna-Sofia (10/5): Top! Immer wieder gerne! - Super Lage für einen Start in Costa Rica. Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit einem äußerst aufmerksamen und freundlichen Personal. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
- Jan (9/5): Nice hotel close to San José - Goede bedden, lekker ontbijt op leuk terras
- Carine (8/5): - Très bien personnel hyper agréable, lieu sécurisé avec parking sécurisé. Point négatif le bruit : si vous n’avez pas un sommeil de plomb
- Marine (10/5): -
- Laura (10/5): - Nahe am Flughafen, wunderschöner Garten für kleine Erkundungstouren mit den Kindern, leckeres Essen, freundlicher Service. Perfekt um Anzukommen nach einer langen Reise. -
- Samantha (9/5): Was a perfect place to stay for our last night in Costa Rica! - Delicious food, comfortable beds, attractive setting, fun games room, helpful staff.
- Honor (10/5): -
- Suzanne (8/5): A perfect and comfortable start to our Costa Rica trip with great service and an ideal location. - Everything about our stay was great, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect as a first stop when starting a trip through Costa Rica. Nothing:)
- Montero (10/5): -
- Allison (10/5): -
- Siggi (10/5): perfect first night before flying to Panama - the staff is beautiful.. ❤️
- Anne Christine (10/5): - Hyggelig personale, god mat. Flotte omgivelser.
- Marilajo19 (10/5): Un lugar espectacular demasiado cerca de la ciudad - El área de piscina es muy linda. Tiene áreas comunes super cozys. El personal lo atiende a uno muy amable. La comida del restaurante muy buena. En general es muy bonito, dan ganas de estar ahí todo el día
- Jalpa (8/5): - beautiful property, great restaurant and breakfast. mattress and bed were old and squeaky.
- Alice (8/5): - Great pool, nice place with nature near the airport (25min away). Rooms can be noisy (we were awakened twice by neighbors waking up at either 4 am or midnight, as the sound resonates; they really need to tell people to lower it down and be mindful) - breakfast could be improved.
- Sven (6/5): Gute Unterkunft für Urlaubsbeginn oder Ende - -Terrasse mit dem Frühstücksbereich sehr nett
- schöner Garten
- Poolbereich sieht gepflegt aus
- Flughafennähe zum Beginn oder Ende des Urlaubs - das Zimmer im Nebengebäude
- Nebengebäude und Zimmer sollten überholt werden
- Kenneth (9/5): Beautiful property, very nice buildings, great staff, good location. A bit loud with traffic. - Wonderful grounds and gardens, nice for birders based here before/after flights. Convenient to airport. Very kind, attentive staff. Nice rooms. Very nice pool and relaxation decks and shared spaces. Food is great. Neighborhood around is a bit rough, would not walk off property. Loud traffic due to busy road adjacent. Turning on AC 1-2 hours before occupation of booked rooms would make a huge difference (vs. walking into a hot room when guests might already be hot).
- Wegerhoff (10/5): -
- Wouter (10/5): - We loved the hacienda and the beautiful garden. The restaurant is very good too. And what we especially liked is how well equipped the hotel is to accommodate travelers coming from or going to the airport. At our last day in Costa Rica, we could check out at 12 and we could stay the rest of the day in and around the hotel to wait for our flight. There's a living room with books, games et cetera where we could hang around. The room itself (family room) lacked a bit of charm (and was a bit away from the main hacienda), but the beds were great.
- Jie (10/5): -
- Dr. Klaus (9/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft für San José und Umgebung - Sehr schöne Anlage, Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr nett und aufmerksam. Sehr gutes Frühstück.
Schnell erreichbar vom Flughafen. Gepflegter Pool. Der Straßenlärm nachts.
- Herbert (9/5): -
- Jan (7/5): - UbTovani u cesty, hlucne.
- Jennifer (10/5): Uitstrekend hotel - Mooi hotel met uitstekende voorziening, vriendelijk personeel.
- Pamela (9/5): - The villa is located in the middle of a beautiful garden and includes a lovely pool and restaurant. The staff was wonderful. We had an early flight the next morning and couldn't make breakfast so the staff brought us coffee, fruit and banana bread to our room. Exceptional service!
- Léa (8/5): -
- Katja (9/5): Alles super! - Der Garten und die Zimmer sind wirklich toll. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und das preisleistungsverhältnis ist top! -

- Julia (10/5): - Ich hatte einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Villa San Ignacio und somit einen tollen Start in meine Costa Rica Reise. Das Anwesen liegt ruhig und ist sehr gepflegt. Aber vor allem die Mitarbeiter sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle noch einmal bei Sergio bedanken, der mir unglaublich geholfen hat, meine lokale SIM Karte zum Laufen zu bringen. Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten.
- Anna (10/5): -
- Jens (10/5): -
- chefdeville (9/5): - Le cadre, la décoration, l'emplacement, la piscine, le jardin, la nourriture .. Peut-être un peu bruyant, route assez proche
- Jens (10/5): -
- NICOLA (8/5): -
- Hans (10/5): San Ignacio is een geweldige villa/hotel om te verblijven voor een zeer redelijke prijs. - De ligging aan de rand van San José was uitstekend als uitvalsbasis voor onze doorreis.
Het personeel was geweldig vriendelijk en attent. Op het terrein is zelfs een korte trail door een stukje oerwoud mogelijk.
Het zwembad en heerlijke eten in het restaurant maken het plaatje compleet.
Bovendien is het terrein zeer goed bewaakt. Niets, we zouden hier direct weer voor kiezen.
- Julie (8/5): - Très bon emplacement pour une nuit à l'arrivée ou au départ. Un peu à l'écart de San José, au calme.
- Sigrid (9/5): -
