My fiancé and myself love this unique hotel. We just came for our second stay and the staff were absolutely amazing once again. We saw all sorts of wild life and they actually have their own trail in the national park on the property. Definitely worth the money and will be returning for sure! Pura vita!!

This hotel offers an unparalleled view of wildlife. In the early morning, you’ll witness playful monkeys scaling rooftops and leaping through the trees. Birds serenade you in the tropical garden, while sloths lazily hang from branches. The luxurious rooms feature magnificent ocean-view balconies, and there are plenty of pools for relaxation. The main restaurant serves delectable and fresh cuisine. All staffs are friendly and very helpful.

The property was beautiful and clean. The staff were exceptional and friendly. The views were spectacular. The wildlife stole the show. Viewing sloths, monkeys, and birds was a daily occurrence! The resort is far from the airport and getting to the beaches was a minor inconvenience as the hike to the bay-side beach was steep and a short shuttle is required for a trip to Manuel Antonio. What the resort lacked in beach access, however, it more than made up for in amenities, scenery, customer service and dining options! Parador is a fantastic hotel and resort and I definitely recommend to anyone!

Beautiful hotel with lots of wild life animals around including monkeys, sloth, macaws, crabs and others around. The only I thing I wish they could provide was the ability to watch NBA games in my room since I am a big NBA fans. Its not a big deal for most pp but it was for me. But overall it was an excellent stay and friendly staff.

The proximity to Manuel Antonio, the wildlife on the property including white faced monkeys that gave us quite a show from our balcony, the ocean views and the beautiful grounds and pools made this a favourite vacation that I’ll never forget. Also, the wait staff at La Galleria are top notch and really nice people.

We loved everything. The staff was just AMAZING. The only reason why I wouldn’t give it the full 5 stars is because the pool was way too warm. And it was extremely hot out. Pools should be refreshing and cooler, and we felt like we were at a hot springs. Other than that, everything was great.

We took two tours arranged by the resort: Manuel Antonio national guided walking tour and mysteries of the night (within the property). On the first, we saw three types of monkeys (white faced, howler and squirrel), sloths, and some birds. It was very hot the day we went, and we were very tired; though the tour was good, not that impressed given that this park was considered the best in the country. The night tour was much more impressive with so many frogs and toads with their unique sound apart from some nonvenomous snakes. It was worth our time and money. We found more sloths, toucans, and birds within the property than in the national park. The resort had a host of swimming pools, great breakfast and a variety of restaurants. The nearby beach town of Manuel Antonio was very small and the shuttle timings were not that convenient. The beach was just OK. The staff at the resort were all very friendly and they introduced us to the theme of Costa Rica, “Pure Vida” and lived up to it. The room was well lit and the service excellent. I would recommend the resort but it may be a little pricey.

We loved our stay at Parador Nature Resort and Spa. The staff was amazing from the bell boy who welcomed us to the restaurant staff. They each made an effort to learn our names and were a delight to be around. There was a lot of wildlife on the property (Tucans, monkeys, sloths, lizards, etc). Our rooms as well as the installations were very clean. We had an amazing experience here and will be recommending this resort to our friends and family!

We stayed here for 4 nights and we saw more mammals and birds than the Manual Antonio NP tour. The howler monkeys were outside of our room. Everyone shared the locations of the sloths on site every day. Lots of birds. Beautiful pools to cool off. We stayed in the villa with access to the adult pool. We love the view and had a great time. Only downside is the onsite restaurants are really lacking. They told us to make reservations for dinner and have the impression the food is good. The sushi restaurant was terrible. The main restaurant made decent snacks. We managed to get Uber (long wait and they cancelled frequently) and connected with a local taxi driver. We still think it’s a great property. Thank you.

Parador Nature Resort is set in the jungle with the ocean near. We saw sloths, howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, toucans, Iguanas and many bird species. It was a treat to see them so close. Staff couldn’t have been nicer, too. A beautiful resort!

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Parador. Our goal was to see wildlife in their natural environment, and we were not disappointed. We saw a variety each day of our stay, including three species of monkeys, sloths, an anteater, and iguanas. Every staff member was very friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their job of making us happy. Excellent stay! We will return to this resort on our next trip to Costa Rica.

Resort is excellent !! Breakfast, food, bar all good !! I booked this resort hoping that it is on the beach, but it is not and no direct beach access. To get to beach, shuttle can you take you 2 minute ride and then have to walk down on a steep downhill trail for 5 minutes. And then on return, need to walk back all the way uphill 5 plus 5 minutes on steep uphill. you can request shuttle if you have cell phone access to call.

The property was located on a mountain overlooking the ocean. The room was nice and the staff friendly. The food was terrible and quite pricey. There was at least one mistake with every order except for sushi dinning. For a $400.00 a night vista suite room the place was underwhelming and there were other properties which we would have been happier at.

Our family of 5 (3 generations) spent a week at the Parador after Christmas. It was more than I usually spend, but so worth it. The rooms and grounds were beautiful and the staff was so helpful and competent. We took advantage of several guided nature tours as well as a Mercado tour in nearby Quepos. We were immersed in the natural beauty of the rainforest. The main dining room offered delicious options with a breakfast buffet included in our room price. The hotel put on a delightful New Year’s Eve party with live music, dance performers and a huge buffet -again, included with our room price. I highly recommend the Parador for a family getaway splurge.

Beautiful location surrounded by lush wildlife. The hotel is very nice and the rooms were spacious. The bathroom seems to have sacrificed function for appearance. The shower is only partially covered making it very challenging to have a proper shower without water getting outside the shower area. We really enjoyed the short walk to Biesanz beach from the hotel. Overall a very good hotel, with just in need of a few minor updates to facilities.
