Thus was our first trio to Costa Rica and this place set the stage for a wonderful trip to Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Don't hesitate booking with this resort. It was fantastic! And a great launching point for our daily tours around the area. P.s., the food was amazing.

If you are a nature lover and want to see Sloths, monkeys, birds, etc., you will love the Parador. This was our second time to stay with them, and the service and hospitality from the staff is impeccable. The properly and rooms are well maintained, and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend the Parador.
This is my husband on the patio of our room. The monkeys came by everyday.
