Parador Nature Resort and Spa

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Amazingly beautiful place! We saw monkeys 20+ 2 times, on the monkey trail and later at the spa! We also saw sloth, macaws and other animals on the property! We played pickleball, got a couples massage, swam, went snorkeling, kayaking and jumped off tour boat’s high deck and used their slide. Much more to do next time!"
