The view is spectacular. In this era of the pandemic it feels very safe here.
United States of AmericaThe dinner was exceptional. Nice staff and facilities
Costa RicaLoved the charm of the facilities and how close it was to town and the beaches. The property sits on a hill so that ride/drive is a little scary.
United States of AmericaThe nature around the hotel is beautiful, with long hiking through a contained jungle. Many animals were seen in their natural habitat which is well preserved.
United States of AmericaWe have stayed at the Parador three times now. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The staff is amazing and will do anything to make you happy. The property is beautiful and filled with wildlife. The pools are great. The property is small enough to walk around, and the staff gets to know you since there aren’t mass amounts of guests.
United States of AmericaWe really enjoyed the resort, the views, the food and the attentive staff. I recommend El Parador 100%.
United States of AmericaBeautiful pools with amazing ocean views. Very comfortable rooms with great beds. The staff is so friendly and always helping in case you have assitance.
Costa RicaDining experiences went well. We liked the monkey trail. Pool was nice, although I forgot to make a reservation for this.
Costa RicaThe private jungle in the back of the property, is a nature lovers paradise.
United States of AmericaRoom was exceptional clean. I will return and I highly recommend it . The balcony was amazing with amazing view.
