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.

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.

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.

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
