This resort was amazing! The amenities were great, the food was delicious, and the amount of wildlife we saw made our trip complete. They had complimentary shuttles to Manuel Antonio park and their sister property, Miamar. We loved it so much and would gladly visit again!

Very friendly and accomodating staff! The hotel property is landscaped beautifully. We weren’t able to see a three toed sloth at nearby Manuel Antonio Park, so hotel staff pointed one out to us on the hotel property.

I cannot say anything but amazing things about the Parador Nature Resort & Spa. We loved our room and views, the pools were incredible as well as the staff. The beds were so comfortable. We felt like everywhere we went on the property that the staff were so kind and helpful. I loved having the self serve laundry, the outstanding breakfasts, the drinks at the pool bar with the wonderful bartenders who couldn’t have been friendlier. It was a great resort and we hope to return someday in the future.

We went at Parador for a family vacation with 3 generations. Everyone loved it. The Parador premises are exceptional, beautiful landscape, plenty of free living animals to watch daily and very welcoming and friendly staff.

Beautiful resort, I couldn’t recommend it more. You will definitely see tons of animals. If you have a balcony room, they have amazing views. Truly, you don’t even need to leave the property to get a wonderful look at the wildlife of Costa Rica. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Finally the food was absolutely amazing! I’m a vegetarian and there was always something I could eat. Pools were great too. It’s a great place for couples or families.
