Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Parador Nature Resort And Spa from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the stunning views and convenient access to wildlife right on the resort grounds, with frequent sightings of monkeys and sloths, especially along the monkey trail. The spacious rooms, some offering sea views from the balcony, also receive high marks. The sushi bar stands out as a highlight for many diners; however, a few guests have mentioned that some standard rooms can have a musty smell. Transfer services to Manuel Antonio Park are available.

Balanced stay at the resort

large rooms daily housekeeping multiple pools pool closure checkout denial treatment cancellation

I really liked the large rooms. It. The daily housekeeping was a plus. Breakfast was included, also very convenient (i do appreciate these little conveniences). There were multiple pools to choose from, and all the restaurants and bars seemed great.

The main pool was closed for two of the four days I stayed. The closure was a bit disappointing (i wasn't expecting that). I requested a one-hour late checkout to accommodate a treatment but was denied. It led to canceling the massage, inconvenient.

amazing wildlife encounters

sea view chocolate strawberries capuchin monkeys

the generosity shown was excellent. I received an upgrade to a premium plus room, and the balcony offered a great sea view. i was welcomed with bubbly and chocolate covered strawberries. wildlife abounded right on the hotel grounds. Sloths, capuchin monkeys, and macaws were frequent sights.

there were a few steps around the hotel to reach the restaurant. it was not a major inconvenience, but something to note.
