Score against sample size
Under Canvas rates 9.0 across just over 1,000 reviews. Wander Camp rates 7.9 across 2,600, which is an unusually deep sample for a tented property and makes that lower score quite reliable.
So this is not a case of one property being under-sampled. Under Canvas is genuinely better reviewed, and it also confirms a restaurant on site, which matters a great deal in Valle where there is nowhere else to eat.
Wander Camp's argument is price. It sits in the value band against mid-range, and if the tented experience is what you want rather than the service around it, the saving is real.
What neither confirms
Neither property confirms Wi-Fi, a bar or a pool in our data. Both are seasonal in practice. If connectivity matters, the domes at Clear Sky Resorts are the only Valle option that confirms it.
