A quiet retreat for nature lovers. We enjoyed every meal at the farm to table restaurant looking over a vast valley that ends in sea. The property’s cloud forest trails are as lovely as the one you pay for at the Monteverde reserve. The rooms were stunningly beautiful. I felt safe allowing my teenage daughters to roam unsupervised.

Good location, terrible breakfast

The breakfast was terrible. Only 2-3 options to start off with. They had toast but no butter. The banana was pre-cut and soggy. When asked if they had a fresh whole banana, they refused. Smoothie was over 40 mins before breakfast time ended. The toys for kids were in poor shape. Basketballs, soccer balls weren't inflated properly. Good location and view though.

We stayed at Valle Escondido Nature Reserve Hotel & Farm for two nights and loved every minute of it! It is such a beautiful and unique property, with lush nature surrounding the hotel and incredible views (and sunsets!). We enjoyed the breakfast as well as the dinner at the restaurant on-site. We spent a few hours walking the trails surrounding the property, seeing waterfalls and close to 20 Coati's and monkeys near the hammock gardens. The rooms were spacious and our's had a balcony as well that we could use. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, giving us helpful tips and local suggestions. We definitely recommend this hotel!

We stayed 2 nights at the Valle Escondido reserve. The good: beautiful property, serene, great views, focus on sustainability, 5-10 minutes drive to several restaurants. The property has its own hiking trail which includes the forest as well as a free self-guided permaculture tour. For dinner, we had the wood fire pizza which was great. The room was basic, but comfortable. The not-so-good: the staff is polite but not friendly or warm. Also, the free breakfast is just ok - it surprised us given all the positive breakfast reviews. Not only did they have a limited menu selection, but the portions were small and there was barely any fresh fruit. Overall a good experience.
