At Hotel & Spa Escondite de la Montaña, travelers praise the peaceful mountain setting with cozy cabins, fireplaces, a small farm, and a well-liked spa and restaurant, noting friendly staff and an overall relaxing, romantic atmosphere for couples and families.
Many enjoy the beautiful grounds, mountain views, and proximity to Poás-area sights. Recurring issues include inconsistent hot water or water pressure, wet firewood and limited fireplace tools, and sparsely equipped kitchenettes. Some report insects, wind or animal noise, patchy Wi-Fi, and occasional lapses at reception or checkout, and driving can feel remote with tricky routes. Expect a rustic, relaxing escape in nature.

Beautifully maintained property, excellent staff and service. Organic herb gardens, small farm with animals. Did not use spa services. Cabin 7 is kinda funky with huge bathtub, requiring a lot of water to fill, and a fireplace that adds ambiance. Kitchen sink with small refrigerator, but no glasses or kitchen towel. Bath towels were thin, and shower spray soaks entire bathroom floor. I would recommend a stay here, but check your cabin layout first. Restraunt and breakfast were great, with great waitstaff.

Increíble, la verdad es que este hotel fácil podría ser 5 estrellas, el restaurante súper bien respecto a cantidad y precio, hermoso el lugar, la cabaña nada que decir. Es el lugar ideal para el retiro de escape de la ciudad. Compramos un paquete de spa y el masaje fue increíble, además de que incluía parte de la cena. Totalmente para repetir !

A short drive from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the heat and humidity at the coast, this is a fabulous forest retreat. The cabins are delightful, private, well appointed with comfortable beds and spa like amenities. Bonus if you like farm animals. The staff on the grounds, office, spa, and restaurant were all kind, talented and helpful.

Loved the cabin we rented with big soaker tub and fireplace. Felt like we were on a ranch in a cabin on the mountains. Complete with all the farm animals you’d find on a ranch. Highly recommend. Romantic for couples like me & my husband or bring the kids! They’ll love the facilities.

La propiedad como hotel de montaña por la zona es de las mejores, tiene muchas comodidades como cabañas espaciosas, chimenea, tiene dentro del cuarto y varios tipos de habitación. Podrían mejorar el abastecimiento de la cocinera con copas y vasos, además poner herramientas para manipular el encendido y mantenimiento del fuego de la chimenea. El agua caliente cuesta que llegue también.

Eine Bungalowanlage in einem Bauernhof ziemlich abseits. Grundsätzlich eine gute Idee, im Restaurant, was einen gemütlichen Aussenbereich mit Lagerfeuerstellen hatte, die Produkte des Bauernhof zu verarbeiten. Auf dem Gelände sind alle Tiere, die zu einem Hof gehören sowie mehrere Hunde, die friedlich alle bewachen. Unser Bungalow war groß, mit 2 Terrassen, Kamin und Badewanner. Msnko, das Feuerholz war nicht gut, es war feucht. Wir haben und Anzünder besorgt, dann gings. Das mit dem Warm/Kaltwasser ist ein Problem. Entweder ist es viel zu heiß oder zu Kalt. Wir haben nicht herausgefunden, was wir hätten anders machen können. Klasse Bett! Allerdings roch alles etwas muffig und feucht. Die kleine Küche hatte keine Teller. Eine Mikrowelle wäre auch eine super Idee. Der Kaffeefilter.....wir haben türkisch getrunken. Frühstück und Essen sehr gut und sehr kompetenter Rezeptionist. Englisch ging mit ihm gut. War vom gesamten Eindruck enttäuscht

We spent just one night but it was really bad. No AC, the water was not heated, you are at a farm and since you don't AC you hear all the animals all night. The place it's dirty and similar to the rooms.

What can I say about this beautiful place. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city life you will find the best place we have stayed! The staff are amazing and nothing is too much hassle for them. The entire site was clean and tidy. The cabins are big but really cute. The food in the restaurant was amazing. And even though we were the only people staying here some days they always had a good spread laid out for breakfast or they would cook it fresh to order. We absolutely loved our stay here and can recommend to anyone thinking of booking this place.

La cabaña estaba llena de insectos, apenas funcionaba el agua caliente y la bañera filtraba el agua y se encharcaba la cabaña cada vez que queríamos ponerla. Además, la puerta trasera de la cabaña estaba rota y se podía abrir con empujarla un poco desde la calle. Fue una experiencia horrible

Great room with a wood-burning fireplace with plenty of wood! Only issue was the hot water and flow for the bathtub. The shower worked well though. Quick trip to airport the next morning but MUST make sure to let reception know that you need to leave early or before opening because they locked the property gate.

Horrible. Do no stay here!! I read the reviews and since it said Spa, I assumed it would be nice. Ended up in 2 different cabins and neither one had a proper shower, the water only DRIBBLES out. You cannot get clean. They need to do more maintenance on cabins as the 1st night, it was windy and a tree branch and cord banged on the roof all not and we got 0 sleep. It kept us up all night. I asked nicely to leave and get refund for 2nd night and they promptly said no. We moved to 2nd cabin and the shower does not spray there either, it just dribbles. This cabin also was noisy at night. There was a rodent or some small animal scratching at wall behind the bed. I cannot make this sh** up.We were closer to the animals on the farm and the roosters and other animals made noises all night. What a nightmare.

We stayed 3 nights; the place is very beautiful, but the experience wasn't so pleasant. The firewood was wet. We asked about it, and the solution was to sell us an extra load. The next day, we mentioned the situation, and the young man assured us that the load was dry, but surprise, it was wet. We were stressed trying to keep the fire going. On the third night, starting at 1 p.m., we notified them that we hadn't received the day's load. After insisting, we finally received the firewood around 6 p.m. The cabin has a kitchen area with a small refrigerator, a water heater, a coffee maker, and two cups. There's no dish soap, no napkins, no plates, glasses, or cutlery, and certainly no microwave. We ordered room service, and understandably, given the weather, the food arrived cold, and we had no way to heat it up. My husband and I have stayed in different Airbnbs, and they are well-equipped. It seems illogical that a place like this doesn't offer those amenities. The restaurant is excellent; the service and the food are perfect. It's a place we won't be returning to.

I highly recommend staying here! It is so peaceful and relaxing. The staff are so kind and accommodating. A quick trip to the airport (about 35-40 minutes) easily accessible by car or Uber. I will be back

I would have wanted instructions for taking the right route since the GPS sent us through a very scary, windy and steep route.

Cabañas muy bonitas en el medio de la naturaleza. Todo està muy limpio y bien cuidado. Nos gustó mucho la chimenea y la cercania con el volcán Poás.

A quiet place to relax, in the middle of the vegetation. Sleeping with the campfire and the sound of the rain was magical. I highly recommend this place, and go with your partner, definitely a 10 out of 10

The location was nice and we enjoyed the small farm. The staff was very kind and helpful. The accommodations were rustic but fine with us. We enjoyed the outside seating area. We would have liked to have hot water in the shower and the kitchen is pretty minimal. Small things like a cork screw & bottle opener would be nice. Breakfast was very good and we also enjoyed a nice dinner at the restaurant.

What can I say about this beautiful place. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city life you will find the best place we have stayed! The staff are amazing and nothing is too much hassle for them. The entire site was clean and tidy. The cabins are big but really cute. The food in the restaurant was amazing. And even though we were the only people staying here some days they always had a good spread laid out for breakfast or they would cook it fresh to order. We absolutely loved our stay here and can recommend to anyone thinking of booking this place.

We stayed 3 nights; the place is very beautiful, but the experience wasn't so pleasant. The firewood was wet. We asked about it, and the solution was to sell us an extra load. The next day, we mentioned the situation, and the young man assured us that the load was dry, but surprise, it was wet. We were stressed trying to keep the fire going. On the third night, starting at 1 p.m., we notified them that we hadn't received the day's load. After insisting, we finally received the firewood around 6 p.m. The cabin has a kitchen area with a small refrigerator, a water heater, a coffee maker, and two cups. There's no dish soap, no napkins, no plates, glasses, or cutlery, and certainly no microwave. We ordered room service, and understandably, given the weather, the food arrived cold, and we had no way to heat it up. My husband and I have stayed in different Airbnbs, and they are well-equipped. It seems illogical that a place like this doesn't offer those amenities. The restaurant is excellent; the service and the food are perfect. It's a place we won't be returning to.

The property was amazing, so many fun areas to take photos and sit. There was even a garden with all sorts of herbs and veggies to see growing. The tub on the patio was my favorite part, second to the food and spa services. The staff were amazing, I was able to practice my Spanish with them and they were very patient and kind. They even helped with photos, a true all inclusive experience. I had a wonderful stay there and would absolutely stay again. Pura vida!
