The property is set in a beautiful location. The restaurant on the property was good, but it took a while for the food to arrive. Our biggest complaint for the property was that when we went to the bed, we found our bed towards the foot to be wet, and had a musty smell. It seems there might have been some leak in the room. By the time we realized the bed was wet, the office had already closed, so we couldn’t get help. We wanted to love the property because it is set in a beautiful location and we loved the idea of farm to table meal. Also, the night walk was great. Unfortunately, the wet bed and musty smelling towels in the bathroom makes it unlikely that we would return.

In touch with nature

Location is superb for vistas and wonderful dining experiences. Lodging and grounds were comfortable. Birding from the balcony was also a unique experience. Coatimundi and agouti were seen about the property. Night walk and nearby Butterfly Gardens provided such interesting and surprising facts about the cloud forest.

Might need a car to get into town, but a great hotel. Food on site was amazing and affordable. Best pizza in Costa Rica. The hiking trails were a nice afternoon and morning adventure. Would recommend this place to anyone. Great view of the sunset (unfortunately some clouds blocked the full view during our stay).

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.
