Valle Escondido Nature Reserve Hotel & Farm

It is absolutely a stunning location and property. Everything was beautiful, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the farm to table restaraunt immensely. It was a highlight of our stay in Costa Rica!!

Beautiful location. Loved the restaurant, the trails and property.

beautiful room and serraunding

This hotel offers a pleasant stay with stunning views over the Gulf of Nicoya and excellent locally sourced dining. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The room felt slightly outdated and the bathroom design is impractical, as the floor floods during showers. Access to the property is via an unpaved road. Overall, it was a decent experience, though not a very memorable one.

We loved our stay here. A very calm environment, very helpful staff, delicious food from the restaurant and an extremely comfortable room and beds

Set in wonderful location with its own trail

Breakfast: very good products.
Location: just outside of the city, in the middle of the nature.
Restaurant: great view at sunset

The rooms were large, comfortable and had an excellent view. The bathroom was also nice and had a great strong shower. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet - there was always lots of food available. They also allowed us to change our booking despite it being non refundable.

Goed gelegen, vriendelijk personeel, goed ontbijt, moderne en grote kamer. Stabiel en goed internet. Tours door het eigen natuurgebied. Hebben speelgoed voor de kinderen en een prachtig grasveld waarop je spelletjes kan spelen en kan ravotten.

Great People, great project, amazing view, nice with kids... we loved our stay!

Eine sehr schöne Anlage in der wir sogar eine Nachtwanderung machen konnten. Sehr gutes Essen im Restaurant. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für unsere Aktivitäten.

Sofia nos atendió en el restaurante y es una chica muy amable y servicial

Me encantaron los senderos, mi favorito fue el que tiene vista al Valle Tabacón.

We stayed four nights in the new annex (just opened this year) and loved the view, decor, and comfortable beds. It was peaceful and quiet—exactly what we wanted. Housekeeping staff were visible but unobtrusive, and the chickens reminded us we were on a farm!
Breakfast was included on a 2-day rotation. The fresh yogurt with farm honey was delicious, and both room and restaurant coffee were excellent and replenished daily. The wood-fired pizza was unbelievably good. We enjoyed every meal we ate there. The restaurant staff were delightful, service-oriented, and remembered our preferences after two days.
We met lovely tourists with the same relaxed vibe and enjoyed sunset Happy Hour nightly. We ate dinner there three of four nights, because it was so good and so convenient! Highlights included a jungle walk on premises where we saw leaf-cutter ants, an easy drive to Monteverde Cloud Forest Park (spotted a quetzal, tarantula, and howler monkeys), and the neighbouring Butterfly Garden with beautiful Blue Morphos.

The room was very nice with a balcony. The restaurant had an amazing sunset view. The hiking trails were really nice and the hammock area on the trails was very relaxing. Very convenient location in Monteverde and close to a lot of nearby restaturants. (Visited the Treehouse restaraunt in Monteverde- check it out).

I loved everything about this hotel, including the unpretentiousness of a higher rated hotel. The use of permaculture in their farm to table was visibly evident and the educational component unique and well done. I am excited to build this practice on my own 6 acres.

The property is lovely, so many animals around - the kids loved spotting the coatis and lizards as we walked to and from our room! The nature reserve is great to explore and we did the night hike through the hotel as well which was amazing. Loved the bar and the happy hour! It was great to be able to sit and enjoy the sunset with a happy hour drink while the kids played on the bikes and scooters the hotel has available.
