Très mauvaise expérience – passez votre chemin Sur les trois semaines de notre road trip au Costa Rica, Valle Escondido Nature Reserve est sans conteste le pire accueil que nous ayons reçu. À l’arrivée, une seule personne à la réception, visiblement peu concernée, à la limite de l’antipathie. Aucune explication sur le fonctionnement de l’établissement, aucune attention. On nous fait comprendre que nous sommes arrivés trop tôt (12h), mais à 17h, il est déjà trop tard pour réserver une table au restaurant… À notre retour, on nous tend juste la clé, sans un mot. Aucun sens de l’hospitalité. Le plus ironique : notre chambre se situe juste à côté du restaurant. Impossible d’y manger, mais on profite de tout le bruit. Merci pour l’expérience… La chambre, quant à elle, est triste, sombre, sans vue, avec une terrasse inutile. Déco inexistante, confort très sommaire. Pour le prix payé, c’est inacceptable. Ce n’est pas un hôtel, c’est tout au plus une auberge écolo, et encore. On aime la nature, mais on aime aussi les valeurs humaines – et au Costa Rica, on s’était habitués à un accueil chaleureux et authentique. Ici, c’est tout l’inverse. Français, passez votre chemin : ce type d’accueil n’est pas du tout à la hauteur de nos standards. C’EST UNE AUBERGE DE JEUNESSE ECOLO. On regrette amèrement d’y passer trois jours.

Das Hotel verfügt über schöne Zimmer mit einem wunderschönen Blick auf die Berge. Zudem gibt es eine große Wiese auf der man Fahrrad fahren, Fußball und Sackwurf spielen kann. Für kleinere Kinder gibt es Laufräder und Spielzeugautos. Das Essen hat uns auch überzeugt. Das Frühstück war lecker und es war für jeden etwas dabei. Valle Escondido verfügt außerdem über ein Restaurant in dem frischen Pizza im Holzofen gebacken wird. Falls man Mittags Lust auf einen Kaffee hat kann man sich oben auf die Terrasse setzen und den schönen Ausblick genießen. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und schnell. Sehr gut hat uns auch gefallen, dass zu dem Hotel Wanderwege gehören, die man selber erkunden kann. Valle Escondido bietet zudem Nachtwanderungen mit sehr netten Guides an, die auch gut Englisch sprechen und sich sehr gut auskennen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen!

Muy buena atención. Me gustó mucho la disposición del personal a resolver todas nuestras preguntas y temas. Muy agradecidos con que tengan punto de carga de vehículo eléctrico. También las pizzas son de las mejores que nos hemos comido. Los cuartos son muy espaciosos y la comida muy buena.

Valle Escondido was probably the most modern and updated hotel we stayed at during our trip. The service was exceptional-upon check-in, Elian at the front desk explained the trails and amenities at the hotel and showed us to our room. Our room had an amazing room from our balcony of the hills to the Gulf or Nicoya. Our kids enjoyed playing with their outdoor equipment on the grass area. Even in the July, we were surprised by the cool climate up in Monteverde. Their morning breakfast that’s included was delicious, my son enjoyed the Costa Rican breakfast offerings. My pickier daughter enjoyed their granola and yogurt. We took part in their night walking tour on property and our guide Mauricio helped us spot a huge toad, bioluminescent scorpions, and numerous other creatures.

A perfect home base to explore beautiful Monteverde. The lodge is set overlooking an extraordinary view of the valley, the common space has chairs and games so everyone can share the beauty of the landscape. The restaurant was so delicious we never ate any where else! The food is local and very high quality. My daughter is gluten free and found plenty of options to choose from. The lodge has a private reserve for hiking and looking for wildlife. We hiked it several times and each was different - plenty of monkey sightings, butterflies galore and birds. We did both the birding tour and night time tour and both were run by experts who found things I NEVER would have spotted. For the price point I can not believe there is a better option out there, I would go back in a heartbeat.

Our stay here was the absolute highlight of our trip. We were supposed to stay for 4 nights and extended it to 5 because we didn't want to leave. The buildings and rooms are beautiful, comfortable, well designed, warm, and welcoming. We went on two of the nature walks offered by the Hotel/Farm (night hike and the permaculture tour) and LOVED both. We were here with our two kids and saw lots of animals on site and enjoyed quiet morning hikes on our own with views of the beautiful waterfall. All of the staff were helpful, knowledgable and went out of their way to ensure our stay was lovely. The food was delicious and the location ideal for lots of beautiful activities nearby. Highly recommend!

Valle Escondido is located on top of the world. We were stunned by the gorgeous views overlooking the Pacific. The hotel staff is warm and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful and include a few nature trails. The rooms are just right, nothing fancy but simply perfect and comfortable. The free breakfast was delicious and included many options. I could’ve stayed here a week. A great place to stay in Santa Elena.

Clean rooms, good showers with nice toiletries. The food is good and the concept of happyhour is cool. The view is amazing and the property park is nice for a walk and relaxation. Some rooms have amazing view. The lodge is secluded and quiet. Would be nice to have water filter. The floor in the rooms was very slippery with and without shoes. The property could do something about the last piece of road as it leads only to the hotel and is steep. We got good advice on the zipline parks from the receptionist. On the way out we were helped with pur many trollies to the car.

What an amazing place. From our arrival to check out this place transformed us away from tech devices and into nature. It’s absolutely peaceful and the grounds are just as serene at the cloud forest. In fact if you are unable to get cloud forest ticket go here instead. We hiked the grounds twice and were able to see different things each time. Strongly recommend a nap in the hammock village.
