As soon as we arrived they had a drink and towel as refreshment, which immediately made us feel welcome. Staff is super friendly, and helpful (shout out Aaron and Yuliana). We werent there 5 minutes before the bell boy was able to show us some howler monkeys. Pretty awesome how clean and updated everything is while being so well integrated with nature. I would recommend this resort to anyone.

Everything was great from the room to the food to swimming pools to wild animals (sloths, local raccoon, apes, birds and macaos) visiting the trees... nice little nature path and beach. Play rooms for kids. Great breakfast.

Beautiful resort with amazing views. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and wanted you to have a good time. Surrounded by wild animals and we were lucky enough to see whales from our balcony. All the day trips and help was well organized and we felt ultra safe all the time. Everywhere was really clean all the time. Food on site was some of the best we had and the free breakfast made a big difference. Most people spoke enough English to help you but it’s made me want to learn Spanish.

I cannot say enough good things about my stay at El Parador. Beautiful hotel surrounded by natural beauty. Clean, friendly, reasonably priced. Many tours and massages offered at extra price. Delicious breakfast included. Onsite restaurants and laundry facilities. Pura vida!

“Perfect vacations”
- • Leisure trip

We felt in love with Parador hotel, and hopefully will be visiting again soon.
Everything was just perfect. 1. Customer service 100%, but not only ladies from the customer service, all the staff: reception, restaurant, spa, golf cars drivers, even garden men are very polite & attentive and ready to solve any problem or make you feel happy. 2. The room is great, quiate spacious, good quality of furniture, balcony and every day you can get free of charge coffe at the room, so us was just super cute, coz we are early birds, we wake up at 5-6 am, before the restaurant starts to work and a cup of good coffee at the balcony, with exceptional view on the ocean and sounds of nature.... is something that you will never forget... 3. Big property, 3 pools, forets, so if you want to be alone a little, thing about phylosofic things, you can find your place. 4. Design & ambiance - colonial style, perfect music (lounge or similar), lots of artefacts... you will love it! 5. Spa good tecnics of massage, but for me it was a little expensive, each massage like 100 usd or similar, you get relax and is a good technics, but for example in Guatemala i can get like minimi 4 massage for the same price. 6. Food: actually the prices at the restaurant, quiate resonable, or even the same like in other restaurants outside, but the quiality we prefer from the restaurants and its much more comfotable. Dont forget not all the restaurants include the taxes at their prices, first you might thing is cheaper, but really not.

A bit dark in the common areas, old looking but that’s the style I guess. The A/C unit it’s right above the bed. Pillows weren’t great.
Loved that it’s enclaved in the rainforest, has its own trails, superb gardens and cool pools with a view. There’s an amazing beach just outside the hotel. The views from the suite were great! Breakfast it’s good and staff are super attentive, warm and just super nice people.

The food is incredibly overpriced! Which seems to be the trend on a lot of these reviews. Bed linen isn’t five star - more four star. The complimentary water is 100% from the Tap in the bathroom.
The hotel is pretty. Staff are friendly and helpful. Overall nice experience but missing the wow factor of a five star.

It was honestly perfect. It's like staying in the garden of Eden, and all the staff treat you as a VIP.
The ocean views were unbeatable. The service was first class. The food was fresh and full of flavour. There was so much wildlife on the hotel grounds. And the hotel gave us a lot of freebies (free room upgrade, free bottle of wine/fruit basket/chocolate covered strawberries for our honeymoon, free facial at the spa).
