Hidden Valley Inn

BACK to Hotel & Resort Directory

Hidden Valley Inn is an upscale 12 cottage, full service resort located on 7200 acres of private reserve in the Maya Mountains in the Mountain Pine Ridge area of Western Belize. Guests enjoy exclusive access to 90 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails as well as many secluded pools and waterfalls set in tropical rainforest. For those seeking romance, use of one of the waterfalls may be reserved exclusively for the day.

The Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve is the largest and oldest of Belizean parklands. The red earth and sandy terrain, Caribbean pines, granite outcroppings, tumbling waterfalls, huge limestone caves, and rolling open savanna grasslands, bordered by lush tropical rainforest, make the Reserve unique in Central America.

The cozy cottages with ceiling fans and screened windows all feature en suite bathrooms providing plentiful hot water. Brick fireplaces, handcrafted mahogany furnishings and elegant décor in earth tones reflect the warm intimacy of the Inn.

The Main House is the "heart" of the Inn. It has been converted from the original homestead and reflects the graciousness of a high-country lodge with its vaulted ceilings, exotic tropical cypress paneled walls and four fireplaces. Guests enjoy meeting new friends in the relaxed, "house party" atmosphere. The three lounges and bar provide ample area to gather before dinner with a cocktail and share information with one another on the adventures of the day, or to settle quietly in a comfortable chair in one of the lounges to read or watch the undisturbed antics of the acorn woodpeckers and hummingbirds.

The swimming pool and hot tub is the perfect place to soak away the stress of urban life or enjoy a frozen margarita at sunset.

Inn's generator provides 110-volt electricity between 6am and 10pm.. There are 12 volt bedside lamps and bathroom lights to provide guests with lighting outside of generator hours. The absence of city lights once the generator is turned off makes the night in the Pine Ridge very dark and the millions of stars look extremely close and bright.

A fusion of local and international ingredients lends a truly original flavor to our cuisine.

Breakfast starts with original Hidden Valley Inn Coffee, which is grown and roasted on the property and freshly squeezed juices. A choice of home-baked goods and an assortment of fresh fruits and cereals are on the buffet, followed by a full hot breakfast.

Most guests take a picnic lunch, but there is always the option of having lunch in the dining room.

In the evening, the dining room is set with white linen, stemmed crystal, fresh flowers and candlelight to create an elegant and intimate atmosphere. The menu changes daily and offers a choice of appetizers, entrees and desserts incorporating both local and international dishes. When the weather is fine we also offer outdoor dining on the pool terrace. The service by attentive Belizean staff is unforgettable; they will charm you with their willingness to provide anything you need.

The complimentary use of full suspension, 21 speed mountain bikes is included in your stay.
