Great family resort full of things to do onsite.

Amazing visit to the Parador resort. Large rooms made it comfortable for our whole family to share a room. Daily house keeping, and breakfast included was a huge plus. There are many pools to choose from and all the restaurants and bars were great. The staff were amazing. The wildlife at the resort is a great plus!

Would 100% recommend!!

The room was nice and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The restaurant food and service was the best! The property was beautiful and well kept and I loved walking there Monkey Trail the mornings. The only thing I would change about this resort is the cost to use the washer and dryer. Both machines were $7.50 a load!

Manuel Antonio area gem

Enjoyed it greatly! You can see that many animals at resort property that Manuel Antonio park may not impress you. Excellent restaurant, tapas at the bar and great service.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful resort. Rooms were very comfy with a nice ocean view and the breakfast was delicious with lots of variety. The customer service was excellent at all times. My kids really enjoyed the pool. There was also a games room for older kids and one for toddlers which was really nice. They offered a free shuttle to Manual Antonio park and you can also take a quick golf cart ride to the near by beach called playa Beisanz. The cart drops you off at the entrance of a trail leading to the beach and the trail is about 10 min walk. Beware that this resort is at the end of a very bumpy road with lots of potholes!

Great amenities staff and food. Amazing views all around and every activity you could want nearby. Couples massage was one of the best massages I’ve ever had and my partner loved his too. All the perks of being at a big resort while feeling homey too.
Laura, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pretty location, pretty bad service

We'd stayed at The Botanika, Manoa Arenal, Bosque Del Mar and Parador on our stip and the Parador was easily the worst hotel we stayed at. The staff tried to be friendly, but the service was truely poor. From a less the welcoming checkin, to food allergy issues that were managed poorly, to difficulty getting responses to the staff on questions this stay was disspointing. The property itself was nice, and has some great views. Our room was unusual and did not have a traditional bathroom, there was no door and the tub was viewable from the primary sitting/sleeping area. In what was a great trip overall, the biggest thing I would change is choosing another hotel in the Manuel Antonio area.

Paradise found

Our third stay at Parador - the natural beauty of its flora & fauna, friendly staff, delicious food, exceptional service, the most relaxing spa, several pools for cooling off....and more. Parador is truly a paradise. It will surely bring us back again and again.

We loved our stay at Parador! The hotel area is beautiful and surrounded by nature and wildlife. We saw sloths, monkeys, raccoons, crabs, gekkos and different kinds of birds just by walking around the resort. The food is good and there are many different restaurant options.
Janne, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked how it was a big place, but was also private in its own way. There were multiple pools, and it felt like we were in our own little neck of the woods. The staff was amazing!! Everyone was so friendly, and the food was outstanding. Loved everything about it.

If you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with your kids… Parador resort is the place to stay. We have been here solo as adults and now with our kids and it really is such a beautiful place. Everyone who works here is fantastic.
