Thus was our first trio to Costa Rica and this place set the stage for a wonderful trip to Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Don't hesitate booking with this resort. It was fantastic! And a great launching point for our daily tours around the area. P.s., the food was amazing.

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.

Our stay at Hotel Parador was nothing short of amazing! The service was exceptional—they went above and beyond by surprising us with wine and chocolate-covered strawberries to celebrate our anniversary. Every restaurant was fantastic, offering delicious food and great ambiance. A tip for future guests: download WhatsApp, as it makes contacting customer service incredibly convenient. We had an unforgettable experience and will definitely be back!

The Amazing Parador

"Our recent stay at the hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. The property was teeming with wildlife, offering an immersive experience in nature's stunning landscaping. We spotted a variety of animals, including playful monkeys, howler monkeys, and capuchins, which were delightful to watch—though be warned, they might try to sneak into your room! We also had the pleasure of encountering sloths, vibrant toucans, and beautiful monarch butterflies. The staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely enjoyed sharing stories about their breathtaking surroundings. To our surprise, a lavish breakfast was included, making our mornings even more delightful. Just a short walk down the hill leads you to the most beautiful beach, where we swam and marveled at the spectacular forest and striking rock formations. Having traveled quite a bit, I can confidently say that Costa Rica and the Parador rank among my most incredible experiences. I highly recommend this destination!" ---

Perfection!

The hotel was absolutely beautiful beyond words. It’s situated right in the middle of nature and you can see the ocean from many points of the property. There are several beautiful pools. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We saw so much wildlife on the hotel grounds: sloths, monkeys, frogs, etc. Staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. This is where you want to stay in Manuel Antonio!
