"Property was beautiful and felt very secluded. The concierge was super friendly and always available for a ride up the hill! The only downfall was the hot tub was not hot at all and was used mainly by small children. Otherwise the property was perfect for our family and our stay."

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we stepped onto the property until the moment we left, we felt completely pampered. The staff at Parador were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel welcome from day one. We loved everything about our visit, from the delicious food and beautiful pools to the incredible local wildlife throughout the property. Being surrounded by Costa Rica’s natural beauty made the experience truly special. There was always something to see, and we loved having the opportunity to enjoy the wildlife right where we were staying. The location was also fantastic. We could easily walk to the beach, and it was just a short ride to additional beautiful beaches and the small downtown area. Quepos was also only a quick cab ride away. The staff made exploring the area easy and stress-free by offering great recommendations, helping us understand where to go, and making sure we were headed in the right direction. We always felt comfortable and safe coming and going. Parador gave us exactly what we hoped for from our Costa Rican vacation—a beautiful setting, incredible hospitality, great food, nature, relaxation, and easy access to explore the area. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special Costa Rican getaway."
