    The road to get into pkace

    Could have had more of a selection for the complementary breakfast, but everything was tasty. Also, the grounds were beautiful the road to get there was partially paved . it was very close to the Monteverde nature preserve.

    The road to and from the hotel is very steep, making it hard to walk outside the hotel.

    The view from the hotel was amazing. The staff was very friendly and the food at the hotel delicious. Our room was excellent - good facilities and a great view. We enjoyed the family friendly nature of the hotel. A definite place to return in the future.

    It did not have air conditioning but it cooled off in the evening and we did not need it anyway.

    We loved the location, the restaurant on the second floor overlooking the beautiful landscape was delicious. The staff was very friendly. It was the perfect stay for my son and mother trip. Very close to the Cloud park.

    The reservation was for a Junior Suite which included 1 living room, 1 separate bedroom and 1 bathroom. The actual room was one room. When we asked, they blamed it on the Bookings and acted like we should be lucky to have the room we had. The day we were leaving, we spoke with the manager and he explained how they were trying to correct this and they were aware of the issue. No adjustment or compensation was made by the hotel. In addition, on the morning we were leaving, my wife found a pretty big chip of broken glass in her breakfast. We brought it to the waiter’s attention and she brought it to the managers attention so that they could be sure the food was safe for the other guests. Instead, Roberto the manager stood at our table for what seamed like a half hour telling us about his life. As we checked out shortly after breakfast he met us and told us the glass was actually a large piece of salt which is not true. Unfortunately I doubt they did anything about it and our sole goal was to make sure the food was safe at the hotel.

    Everything was really pretty great. Very special place.

    Our stay was tooooo brief 🥲

    This place is a real hidden jewel♥️‼️♥️‼️. Totally everything from the staff (esp Jane) to the farm to table goid to the sunsets to the walking path to the evening fire pit … just the entire ambiance of “soft aire” and off grid time was over the top for our family. We could have (and wished) stayed for many days longer. It was restful yet energizing, peaceful yet generative. Are you getting the picture???

    If you don't like driving on steep gravel roads, you probably shouldn't come to Monteverde area. The lodge is about 5 minutes down a small road off the main road from Santa Elena to Monteverde. You want 4 wheel drive here.

    What a view! Breakfast on the terrace is amazing. You can see the ocean in the distance, and beautiful forest and mountains. There is always a cool breeze. The restaurant is fantastic, great menu with their own beers. The grounds are extensive with plenty of hiking you can do right there. They are serious about permaculture and there's lots to learn and explore. There is the Monteverde Butterfly Garden just next to the entrance, and a great Italian place Restaurante de Lucia just a 10 minute walk up the road

    Nothing particular - maybe only that there seems they do have enough insects - even if they tell you they are not dangerous they still itch like hell:)

    Top view, excellent (fresh) pizza restaurant - very good fruit juices and cocktails, excellent service. Rooms were spacious and clean - they dont have a view per se - but u can enjoy it from the terrace. Night tour was very informative despite the rain.

    No issues.

    The property is beautiful with a great view of the Nicoya Penninsula. The rooms are comfortable with everything you need. There are hiking trails and learning opportunities at the hotel. It is right next door to a butterfly garden. The restaurant is good and serves all day, nice breakfast and good pizza. The staff was well trained and helpful.

    The yoghurt with Müesli is a bit to small for a breakfast for hikers. If you add two silces of that delicous whole weat bread you have and butter, it's much better.

    Perfect place for a stay in San Elena when you love the nature, walks in the forest, bird watching, lots of interesting informations about permaculture and absolut delicious pizzas! The nature reserve that belongs to the hotel is very nice too. Monkies and coties greeted us daily and if you're luky you can see and hear the bellbirds too. The view is amazing and the staff very friendly and speaks good English. And thank you for the upgrade of our room!

    Our stay at Valle Escondido was too short! This is a beautiful and peaceful property. The meals and drinks we had were absolutely delicious. I was skeptical that the rooms would be a comfortable temperature, but they were extremely comfortable with the fan running. The views and breezes are amazing. We did the guided night hike which was nice and we’re also able to explore the trails on our own. I wish we had stayed longer.
