Friendly staff, great views, good food.
Lovely place to stay with great views and trails to walk away from the accommodation area. Lots of birds and butterflies to see. Good breakfast - especially the yogurt and home made granola. Evening meals also good- with added bonus of local beer on tap. Staff friendly and helpful.

Sunset Panorama
We enjoyed our stay at Valle Escondido. The sunset happy hour, permaculture info, and onsite trail system are great. The concierge service was not as "concierge-y" as I was led the believe, but we eventually got things figured out. There were several middle of the night power surges that triggered the emergency lights 😴 The property is beautiful and most of the staff is lovely

This was an amazing hotel, it was near the cloud foreat and it had its own forest that you could take night guided tours or walk during the day. It was close to town too. We highly recommend this hotel.

A Welcoming Model of Ecotourism and Ideal Hotel
ponds. A variety of guided tours were also available. The hotel’s dedication to sustainability was evident at every turn—from its energy-saving initiatives to its thriving permaculture farm, where fresh ingredients make their way to the restaurant’s kitchen. Speaking of food, every meal we enjoyed at their farm-to-table restaurant was outstanding. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, providing a perfect start to our adventures. The restaurant’s offerings were consistently fresh and flavorful, featuring ingredients sourced directly from the farm. With a dedicated play area and the availability of children’s bicycles, toys, and a variety of games for all ages, families will find Valle Escondido to be an absolute dream. Valle Escondido is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience that fosters a deep connection with nature. Whether you're an eco-conscious traveler, a family seeking adventure, or someone looking for peace and beauty, this hotel is a must-visit. I left feeling inspired and already planning our next visit. If you want an authentic, sustainable, and truly unforgettable stay in Costa Rica, I highly recommend Valle Escondido.

4/10 Fair

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 absolutely loved this hotel. Great location with amazing views and fresh food. We were able to set up a yoga class overlooking the ocean and a night hike where we saw all kinds of amazing animals.
