A lovely hotel with a superb location. We were given a room with a view that was absolutely out of this world. Far exceeding my expectations. The staff were lovely, particularly Melanny who served us at dinner. She was friendly, polite and happy to accommodate our dietary needs. Beautiful extensive grounds on a private reserve. Could have stayed here longer
Clean, large, comfortable room, with a fantastic view from our third floor balcony. Food was wonderful: fresh and flavorful. Staff were very friendly and helpful. However the best part was definitely the nature preserve - we loved walking the trails where we saw all kinds of wildlife. Had one amazing half hour where we were surrounded by capuchin monkeys and coatis, climbing, running and playing around us! Incredible.
Beautiful room and property, delicious breakfast, attentive staff. Glad to support a place that is working to provide a great visitor experience while respecting and caring for the land.
Terrible beds, worst I’ve ever experienced in all my world travels, stayed in many hostels in my 20s and these were the wordt. Terrible tiny lumpy pillows. Tons of Black mold in bathroom. Shower drain doesn’t drain in a timely manner so standing in your own filth or those of previous occupants. No sound proofing between rooms so woke up by people above us many times.
The Sunset views are spectacular. It was the highlight of our day. Every night was a masterpiece. Dinner is open air, and you can watch the sunset. The restaurant staff was very helpful and accommodating, especially Melanie. She went above and beyond to make our stay memorable she learned our names and our preferences. The room was spacious and spotless. It came with the balcony that we used very often. The hiking grounds are amazing and right outside your door. Front staff was also very helpful but Melanie stood out as very genuine and friendly. We used the laundry service and were so happy to have gotten the chance we did a night tour which was interesting. The front desk staff organized drives into town for us, but we always came back for the sunsets. Our favorite meal was the wood oven pizza, and the soups. The whole restaurant smells like wood pizza it’s to die for my biggest tip is bring enough warm clothes, bring rain, ponchos, it rains throughout the day and as eating is open air, you can feel cold. You will want a jacket. The staff will also bring you blankets

Beautiful setting and kind and courteous staff. Decent breakfast included as well. So many walking trails right on site made for a nice stop on our families Costa Rica road trip.
Everything was lovely here. The staff were great, everything was clean. Food was pretty good. I have two things to call out -
1. There are no single use plastics anywhere on site. Amazing dedication to sustainability.
2. The views of the mountains and valleys are spectacular. The images don’t do it justice.
When I return to Monteverde I won’t consider going anywhere else but this place.
Overall a wonderful family experience in Monteverde! Clean, friendly, great little hikes....it was the perfect place for us to recharge our battery!

Everything outside of the room was excellent. Rooms are damp due to lack of AC. There were small insects but that is understandable due to location on the farm. The outside bar, food and trails are excellent

Stunning views, staff were all wonderful. Easy location for everything we wanted to get to. Food was super tasty and fresh.
The room and hotel is great. Quiet and farm to table food is impressive. The only issue we had is during dinner time, we ordered a pizza and later we wanted to order another one. We were told no pizza any more, so we ordered some dessert. But after a while, we found other table got pizzas. We tried to figure out what’s the problem, and the waitress explained it was communication issue and new pizza order would take 1 hour. Not fully understood the point and there seems lots of guest from outside to just have some quick dinner which makes staffs busy and not patient

Stunning views, perfect location, lovely staff and loads to do locally: its own little nature reserve with loads of wildlife on the 5km trails on the property
We had a great stay here! The room was spotless, breakfast (free!) was delicious and their restaurant catered to variety of audiences. Everything around this place was beautiful! Great location! We went for birdwatching and hiking around the hotel, and the views were spectacular!
Valle Escondido was absolutely perfect and one of the highlights of our entire Costa Rica trip. The property is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by lush cloud forest with walking paths right outside your door. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and felt like a true retreat in nature. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, always happy to help with anything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, and we loved being able to walk the grounds, see wildlife, and truly unwind. It’s rare to find a place that feels both relaxing and special, but Valle Escondido delivered in every way. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend it without hesitation.
I booked this stay in a hurry! Guess what, it turned out to be one of the best place to stay. It was very relaxing and the view from the Hotel front was scenic and felt like sitting in front of the view for a long time sipping coffee. The staff members were super helpful. The breakfast was great. The unique experience I had was the Kitchen staff asked me if I want something specific to eat, they can make it for me. They did made a nice Omelet for me for me. We also, had a great experience walking down the trail which is about 1.5 hours of trail. Overall it was a awesome experience, which is located in a quite place. We would love to stay in this place again!!
Amazing sunset view, nature reserve property. My boys had great time playing scoccer with other kids at mini play ground. Also, food was great too, very helpful staff Miguel security was amazing and helpful. We surely would like to come bck in future and stay.
