The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Amazing Food Experience

Every meal we had at the Running W Steakhouse was really good! I was especially impressed with the grilled conch steak and the way the veggies were perfectly prepared. The ambiance overlooking the pool was stunning, and one morning we were even lucky enough to see a Toucan while enjoying breakfast. The overall quality and reasonable prices made dining here a true highlight of our stay.

Perfectly Comforting Stay

We booked a Regal King room, and it exceeded our expectations. The room was beautifully updated, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable. I loved having a balcony that opened to the lush garden, where I enjoyed relaxing in the hammock. The room was cozy and had a lovely charm that made our stay feel even more special.

We particularly loved the spaciousness of our Master Suite. The cathedral ceilings gave it an elegant feel, and the flat-screen television offered plenty of entertainment options for downtime. It was a relief to have such a comfortable space in between our tours, especially having access to early room service for breakfast. Overall, the amenities made our stay incredibly enjoyable.

My stay at the San Ignacio Resort was truly exceptional. The setting was breathtaking, with views of the lush jungle and pool that made my getaway feel like a dream. I was particularly impressed by how the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, especially during our wedding ceremony. While the amenities were luxurious, my only slight drawback was that the terrace could use some refurbishment, as it felt a bit small for my family. Overall, the experience was top-notch and worth every penny.
