Stunning hotel in the middle of know where but easily to access MaYan parks. Staff could not be more helpful and are a joy to spend time with. The Frie Tower is exquisite and superb views and facilities. The outside restaurant (Slate) is not to be missed with outstanding food and experiences.

Amazing place in the middle of mountain pine ridge. Very adventurous place with so many beautiful sights. Just an amazing place from the staff to the food. Perfect 10/10

The property itself is lovely. 17,000 acres of gorgeous and diverse mix of pine forest and broadleaf jungle. Well defined trails, waterfalls you’ve for sure seen in a famous photo shoot. The resort itself is currently a repurposed large main house, surrounded by several smaller cottages. No central heating or a/c. All heated by wood burning fireplaces, although when we were there (January 2023) the wood was almost all too wet to burn. The resort is scheduled to close March 2023 for a major renovation, and will likely be closed for more than a year at the very least. No dangerous animals so be seen. We saw zero, in fact. Almost no mosquitos, due to the altitude, but the noseeums are for real, and unstoppable. The nightly cost of the current suites is high, but considering the exceptional service, and the gorgeous property, it’s probably reasonable. The excursions are lovely and probably charged at market rate, which were worth it because of Marvin, who is an incredible guide. Worth every penny. But then, With no other on-site options, you also need to buy 3 meals per day, in USD, on the resort, and these are very good for the most part, but NOT cheap, and add up very fast, and we quickly began to resent this part. The arranged transport to and from the airport was also not cheap at all. Could probably be found for half the price if privately arranged. In the end, it cost about $800 CDN per day for 2 people, not including any alcohol (we don’t drink)

Absolutely fantastic stay at Hidden Valley Inn. The property itself is amazing, with miles of trails to waterfalls, secret swimming pools, farm, mountain views and more. The staff was incredible - Estelle, Keith, Chris, Misael, Calvin, Loretta. Amazing!

Everything about it was amazing except the weather was a bit too warm and there's no a/c there. We still really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again.

The Hidden Valley Inn is a great place to get away from it all, relax and just decompress. Situated in the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve, the Inn is quaint, quiet and totally amazing. The food is excellent, the accommodations are top notch and the staff extremely attentive. There are tons of things to see and do and all help make the Hidden valley inn the place to stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

The whole experience was amazing. The food, the rooms and the customer service was beyond perfect. The hike and the atmosphere was beautiful.

Hidden Valley Inn was gorgeous- easy to find, but secluded. We hiked for hours without seeing anyone, and appreciated the advice from staff about where to hike and safety tips. The pools and waterfalls are worth a trip in themselves! The rooms/cottages were comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Room service and dinner service was great.

The Lodge is lifted in a wonderful spot, especially for birders. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. If you're a birder, be sure to take a trip or two with Marvin. He is expert at finding birds and identifying them by sight and sound. The food was very good, though perhaps a bit expensive. Highly recommended.

It is beautiful property well maintained and food was good,only problem is the approach road is not good

Incredibly beautiful. So much to see on the 7200 acres. Abundant wildlife . Pine forest and broadleaf jungle. Jaguar Reserve. Waterfalls everywhere. Could not believe what we were seeing. Made it hard to travel off the property to see other sites. Staff was wonderful. Ofelia ,Marissa Jaime,Hector made us feel right at home.Really looked out for us. Accommodations exquisite. Food and drinks top shelf. Must return. Just scratched the surface in five days.

Hidden Valley Inn & Reserve is a small lodge with cottages that provides a high level of customer service. Expect friendly attention from all of the staff. I recommend visiting the butterfly falls and secret pools. Hiking in the area can be a little deceptive as the area is hilly and the humidity and heat can be high, so consider booking a ride with the lodge (or drive yourself) to the trail head. Mountain biking on the property is limited to the roads so don't expect any single track shredding; rather expect good cardio work outs. We also visited Caracol with the lodge guide. Not nearly as excavated as other ruins but not as busy either and you're already in the general area. We rented a jeep 4x4 from Crystal at the airport and drove. Had no problem what so ever but our weather was pretty dry. Very wet weather would be different as the the dirt roads to and around the lodge are pretty much packed clay. Gnats were a considerable bummer. The buggers would actually draw a little drop of blood. Take light weight long sleeves and pants. The room will need a little attention soon; new mattress, some grout work, but that's just a heads up to set your expectations, not really a knock on the lodge. Financially a shout out to Jamie, our happy and helpful front desk man and Marissa (sp? sorry!), our bartender who actually know who to make a real martini!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! From the moment we walked in the door, everyone was welcoming. The food was excellent, the cabins were clean, comfortable and beautiful. It was amazing to wake up to the smell of pine trees and the sight of parrots.

This place had everything we could have wanted. Perfect spot for those looking for some adventure by day and comfort by night. Unbelievable amenities and hospitality. Food was fantastic as well. We will definitely be staying again in the future!

We stayed at Hidden Valley for five days, after four days at the beach. We greatly enjoyed our stay - there is so much to do, with miles and miles of trails, waterfalls, ruins, etc. A good base for your activities in the region. We were plenty busy throughout the five days. Rooms were nice, Wifi was good, as was food. Staff is friendly and helpful and provided guidance and tips on what to do. The GM Gladnys went the extra mile and had us cooked a special East African meal after hearing we had just moved away from Kenya - such a thoughtful touch. Tips: Bring lots of bug spray and sunscreen; if you rent a car, you can do many of the excursions on your own rather than booking through the hotel; be an early riser (those birds are a natural alarm!). Bring binoculars to catch some great bird sightings.
