Just came back from a 10-day stay at the Parador Hotel. Aside from occasional wi-fi connection issues, everything else was absolutely perfect. The hotel is beautiful and well-kept, the nature and the views are breathtaking, the staff is super professional and helpful and there’s plenty of wildlife to be seen directly from the hotel (much more than we’ve seen during the $$$ guided national park tour). There’s also a free hotel shuttle bus to Manuel Antonio that runs from 9am to 5pm. Overall we had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend to anyone.

This resort was amazing in every way. Tons of animals and nature on the property, we saw more sloths, monkeys, iguanas, birds, etc here than anywhere else we went. Very kind staff, great restaurants with vegetarian options. Pools were great. Very kid friendly. We will be back.

Property had great views and was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Our only issue was that the morning that we checked out our water was turned off due to a plumbing leak but we were compensated fairly with a discount on our bill. We would definitely stay here again!

The customer service was amazing! We celebrated our daughter’s 4th birthday with them. The resort made it very special for her by having a special cupcake made for with her name and placed on our bed for when she got back to the room. They were able to bake her a cake that they served with the delicious dinner that was served. Edwin went above and beyond to help our family and introduced our kids to the resident Iguana (Pedro)!! Would recommend this place to anyone.

The property itself is beautiful. However, getting to most restaurants, the national park, or other places in town outside the property requires a car, taxi or use of the resort shuttle. The staff was incredibly helpful though in arranging for taxis or using the hotel shuttle to drop us off at restaurants on the way to their scheduled stops at the national park.
