Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the only apartment. It. Was across the street from the rest of the hotel. OVery spacious. One l large bedroom with a queen size bed, living room with record player and a few old records, a sofa/ sleeper, open dining area, and kitchen with tableware, a few pots and pans, tableware… No dishrags or drying mat. Very cozy The staff friendly and helpful. Great home made breakfast. Great view all the way to the Atlántico 0cean. Very enjoyable stay. Great soda and convenience store next to hotel. The town is 5 mins walk from hotel. Quite A steep walk. The town does not have much to offer. Get the hotel to reserve activities for you. We did most of the planning and reservations by email."

"El hotel estaba en muy buen estado, el personal fue muy atento incluso me buscaron un postre para el cumpleaños de mi amiga aunque avisé a último momento. Ellos limpian la habitación diario, la piscina está en buen estado y el desayuno es bueno aunque preferiria un poco más de variedad. La vista es espectacular aunque el camino para llegar tiene muchas curvas. Yo volvería sin pensarlo."

"We had a great stay at Valle Escondido. Our room was very clean and the view was great. We got to see a lot of wildlife right by the building we were in because the resort was less busy in the rainy season, and we got lucky with the weather. We really enjoyed our night hike on the trails on the property - only wish it were longer! Overall, a great stay. Food was good although variety is a bit limited in the off season."
