Right on the edge of the jungle near the beach with plenty of wildlife for photographers like myself. They manager this but still manage to need the most upscale resort ever ever been to. It's an unbelievable balance of nature and elegance. While i love roughing it to get good photos, my wife likes comfort. This place allows both and to my surprise, my wife can't wait too go back.. Highly recommended!

Stay was great but my only suggestion is please let the tab at the pool stay open it’s annoying to close out several times when you’re eating.

First, I would like to say that I have been here four times and will continue to come. I don’t ever do this with any other hotel. This hotel is perfect for the following reasons: 1. The architecture of the interior and exterior is rustic style and very pleasing. It feel like you are staying in a Spanish mansion…..yes, a home, it has that feeling to it. 2. The food is incredible. In my opinion, the lunch and dinner have Michelin star quality. I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants all over the world and can say this hotel deserves one. I am a fisherman and come for tournaments or short getaways. The Parador freezes my fish for me and also prepares amazing dishes with my fish for dinner. Rodrigo, the master chef, studied in Barcelona, and is a true world class chef. He creates a plethora of dishes from my fish that is world class. Very impressive. 3. The service is first class. They don’t make a big deal about little things and make you feel like royalty. You always feel important. 4. There is a beautiful private beach walking distance from the hotel. Very eclectic and peaceful. Refreshing water and great service from the locals. Final thanks to all the Parador staff who were very professional. Thank you Rodrigo, Mar, and Randall and anyone else whose name I did not get!

Just came back from a 10-day stay at the Parador Hotel. Aside from occasional wi-fi connection issues, everything else was absolutely perfect. The hotel is beautiful and well-kept, the nature and the views are breathtaking, the staff is super professional and helpful and there’s plenty of wildlife to be seen directly from the hotel (much more than we’ve seen during the $$$ guided national park tour). There’s also a free hotel shuttle bus to Manuel Antonio that runs from 9am to 5pm. Overall we had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend to anyone.
