Reviews of Hidden Valley Wilderness Lodge 4 stars

From the moment we arrived the service was exceptional- greeted with a welcome drink and shown around the beautiful lodge, pool, restaurant and to our room. We stayed for my birthday and they had even left flowers and a birthday welcome message in the room for us. The room was spacious and beautifully furnished with homemade biscuits and incredible coffee which we had to buy a bag of before heading home! The pool was lovely, perfect for relaxing by with a cocktail while watching some of the wonderful bird life. The restaurant was exceptional and made for a perfect end to the day- their ethos for sustainable and local produce was fantastic and the food was showcased perfectly to allow tourists to experience true Belizean flavours and dishes with a fine dining edge. Our stay could not have been better!

Nothing!

nice and spaceous room, delicious food, very friendly service. Beautiful place in the forrest, very peacefull, nice hikes.

there are many hike-able trails and waterfalls, the staff take very good of the property. super pristine and clean. the rooms were clean and the food was great. everything was farm to table essentially. the staff were really nice and helpful. they offered complimentary shuttle rides to and from the trails on the property.

the trail map needs work. we got lost a few times while hiking (yes, could be due to our bad sense of direction too) but there are not indicators for elevation or miles on the trails. there are also some trails on the map that could have more landmark indicators like there are on the trails. because of the remoteness of this property, unless you rent a car you are eating all your meals at their one restaurant. the food is amazing but very pricey. i would recommend anyone who is traveling here to ask for the menus before hand as the food is (delicious) but very limited.

Beautiful. Quiet. Peaceful.

All was great

The staff was very attentive, the food was excellent, and the property was gorgeous! We especially loved the private property tour with the lunch we booked. It was very special to see the waterfalls and have a private lunch by the river. I highly recommend this resort! One thing to say, though, is that it is remote. There isn't anything else around, as far as bars and restaurants off the property. That is the point of the place- to be in nature, which was perfect for us. Another thing we liked was that the staff told us they like the owners and are treated well. That is always nice to hear.

Can't think of anything!

The room size was amazing and the lodge’s property has so much to explore

The property is beautiful and in a stunning location. They have hiking, waterfalls, swimming holes, and THE BEST FOOD on their property! It was the perfect place to stay for a romantic getaway, but we loved it so much we’re thinking about getting married there so all of our friends can enjoy it too.

If I had to think of a complaint, the only one would be that the rooms aren’t soundproof. But there’s some distance between each villa so it wasn’t a big problem… it just made for one awkward room service delivery 😅 (sorry about that)

We had a take away breakfast as we went birding and it was delicious

The grounds are beautiful although the trails are more like 4x4 trails thank hiking trails which was disappointing. Our birder guide Marvin was wonderful. The front desk staff are not that friendly but my biggest complaint was their email communication, I received multiple repetitive emails prior to my stay but they never responded to email inquiries about booking experiences. Very frustrating

Hidden Valley proved idyllic for my wife and me. The location, high up in the Mayo Mountains, is unique, with endless picturesque trails that take you to beautiful waterfalls and clear blue pools where you can swim to cool off, all the time surrounded by a huge variety of colourful birds. The accommodation couldn’t be better, well furnished with comfortable beds and good hot showers. The food is superb, the coffee perfect, and the staff friendly and helpful, with a commendable approach to conservation and nature.

Hidden Valley Inn -- unexpectedly, I stayed in a lodge, within 7300 acres of wilderness in the Mountain Pine Ridge, 1 hour away from San Ignacio. I was greeted like a special guest, stayed in a beautiful villa, minutes away from the grand lodge, and the pool. There are kilometers of hiking trails, 5 major waterfalls on the property. I did the Butterfly trail, a 30 minutes by car, and a 30 minutes hike. Splendid! When you arrive at the falls and it's emerald lagoon, in the middle of lush jungle, you think that these few moments “Oh Mon Dieu" There they were all for myself, known as the “jewel of the property", featured in several tourist brochures of Belize. An unplanned stay, that took shape beautifully, blessed! @hiddenvalleybelize

Quite far, excellent restaurant but expensive, the jacuzzi did not work, there should a bit.of lightning around the pool at night.

What a wonderful lodge - the staff is so friendly, the food delicious and the place a beautiful location!

Getting there is hard but you just have to plan ahead of time! They offer a taxi you can take to get there or you can rent a car, if you do rent a car make sure it is an SUV though! The road to the lodge can get bumpy.

Location is amazing

Food prices are very high

Tianna on the front desk was a delight to deal with, nothing was too much trouble for her and the other staff. The location is exceptional, giving opportunity for interesting walks within the 7000 acres, over rustic bridges and up ladders which make it feel like an adventure. Guests were given long range walkie talkies so assistance could be called at any time.

Nothing worth mentioning.

Beautiful property - so much to do if you love hiking and nature. Super relaxing !

Challenging to get there with a regular car.

“A unique location on a vast jungle property with its own trails and waterfalls. You can spend days exploring without needing to leave the grounds. This place exceeded our expectations: cozy, renovated cottages with fireplaces, beautifully maintained grounds, a serene setting, and incredibly skilled and attentive staff. The food was delicious—fresh, organic, and locally grown. The drinks were exceptionally good (special thanks to the bartender, Kenroy!).”

Wonderful location, great guides from the property

Had an amazing time at Hidden Valley Wilderness Lodge. The property is great with lots of hiking possibilities and just to relax. The food is really good and the staff is very helpful and hospitable. Kevin drove me around and guided me knowledgeable to amazing places around the lodge.
