Everything. When we got to Parador, they upgraded us to the suite because we were on our honeymoon. The stuff were extremely nice, the room was very clean, comfortable and big and the location was perfect. It's a beautiful place and the view from the pool is great. We even saw animals at the hotel- monkeys, iguanas, raccoon and a sloth. We highly recommend Parador, the best choice in Manuel Antonio and our trip in general.

Finally after all the Costa Rica trip we encountered the animals at the hotel perimeter and the near beach as we thought we will- Macows, Toucan, howler monkey,sloth and flocks of colorful birds. Absolutely fantastic.

I loved this hotel. It had "Spanish old world charm". Our room was very nice, comfortable and clean, we had a balcony with an amazing view. The grounds of the hotel was home to lots of wild life ... three species of monkeys, a sloth, lots of birds. I recommend the early morning bird watching tour ... we saw more than birds.

We needed a room for one night before our airbnb. It was perfect. We didn't get a chance to visit beach because of timing but understand it is beautiful.

“Beautiful resort in a good location for visiting the area.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
We had lunch upon arrival and our server was not friendly (that's fine). The food was average at best. At night we decided to eat at the bar/tapas area and it was awful. We ordered several tapas and honestly it was not good. The servers were not able to communicate correctly (asked for a drink menu, she didn't understand, asked for assistance on food items, she could not understand, the english level was not great) Maybe try the restaurant instead for better food options. Also, we made an inquiry to switch our date of arrival and to even prolong our stay and we had no reply. When we checked in and settled into our room, we immediately received a message asking if we wanted to switch our dates and prolong...we were already checked in. That was a bit unprofessional not to respond the month before when we inquired. This did not ruin anything and does not change the quality of the resort, but the communication does need to be worked on a bit.
We arrived earlier than expected and our room was not ready yet, that we knew. Upon check in we were offered a refreshing towel to cool down and a very delicious welcome fruit drink. When our room was ready, it was super. We had a superior room in a newer building. Very spacious, very clean. The bathroom was great. The shower was wonderful!! The view we had was overlooking the jungle and in the distance, the bay. We saw plenty of birds and had our coffee at 530am to catch the birds flying around. We had a show from a monkey in the morning, too. The check in staff were absolutely the best. VERY friendly, very professional and informative. The resort was extremely clean. The gift shop was fun, we bought some nice souvenirs. We did not try the pool but it looked like fun! There was even a pool bar (also did not try) but it did look fun, too. The hotel shuttle runs every hour or so and brings you to the entrance of the park if you wish. We opted for a cab due to time restraints. This resort is very big and you feel like you can breath. The sunset was spectacular from our room. Morning breakfast was beautiful. Enormous, actually! Many many choices, and of course, the view from the tables on the terrace was just bliss. Departure was easy and again friendly. Parking was available on the premises.

“Beautiful resort if you want a luxury hotel away from the masses of Manuel Antonio.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
The Garden Rooms by the tennis courts were fairly basic with only a view of the court. This was made up for by being slightly quieter. I was woken every morning by a very loud troop of Howler monkies, which was wonderful.
The Parador resort is a little way out of Manuel Antonio, along a fairly challenging road and completely self sufficient. I had hoped to see some wildlife and relax - so was delighted when on the very first evening I had a sloth sleeping soundly in the tree outside of my room and could hear Howler monkies in the trees. Some of the garden rooms are slightly basic but I was here for the wildlife I was delighted to be able to sit and watch a troop of Howlers every evening crashing through the trees by my room. The resort is beautifully appointed, very clean and with three lovely pools if you want to lounge by a pool and stare at the sky.

Thr play room has a very strong smell of dampness and it's not pleasant. The game room is nice but needs to be renewed. Going down to the beach with the golf cart was good but going back up with 3 young kids without no one at the beach (like the driver said there wil be) that can call the hotel to send a golf cart to pick us up was bad.
Finally after all the Costa Rica trip we encountered the animals at the hotel perimeter and the near beach as we thought we will- Macows, Toucan, howler monkey,sloth and flocks of colorful birds. Absolutely fantastic.

Restaurant at breakfast and dinner disappointing. Frequent queue for breakfast and same offer each day. Dinner was expensive and portions quite small.
We paid for an upgraded premium room with a full sea view and it was well worth it. Large comfortable room with large balcony. Huge TV. Good secure parking Good family pools Frequent shuttle to Manuel Antonio which has good restaurants. In the evening you have to taxi back,

No mosquito nets, not a massive problem but would be nice to have had one. We had an issue whereby we were charged twice for our room, staff very apologetic but refund could take 2 weeks which isn't great. We stayed in room 111 which was nice and comfy but had no view (the terrace space is non existent)
The hotel is full of wildlife including sloths, toucans and lizards, grounds are well kept. Staff are amazing, breakfast was plentiful and good variety. Great size pools and one for adults only. Free beach and pool towels.

The food was good and you can’t beat swimming up to the bar to order food or drink, but it would be nice to vary the evening menu a bit. The breakfast is amazing with a choice of everything but especially love the delicious and generous fresh fruit on offer.
Lovely pool with views, the staff are all so friendly and nice. Elias was a particularly great guide and all the tours are good. Monkeys visit our balcony in the morning, macaws and eagles fly over, a giant lizard wanders across the grass outside, it is perfect place to relax and see nature.
