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).

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.

Wonderful stay here. They have beautiful sustainable farm values that were a wonderful bonus to the stay. We stayed two nights here. The sunset views and rainbow sitings were magical. Staff is so kind and accommodating. Everyone was very pleasant to interact with. Drive to selvatura was about 25 min away.

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.

This is our favorite place we've ever stayed. I don't think the listing does this place justice. The property is amazing. We were bummed that our stay wasn't longer and that we didn't have the time to walk some of the trails on the property. Wonderful staff, great rooms, the most amazing views day and night. The on-site restaurant is fantastic. If we have the chance to return to Monteverde, we will schedule around making sure we can stay here again.

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
