Our only disappointing event was dinner at the restaurant. It was so hot that one of our party could not stay for dinner and the fish on one of the dinners was spoilt.

We stayed here for 4 nights and we saw more mammals and birds than the Manual Antonio NP tour. The howler monkeys were outside of our room. Everyone shared the locations of the sloths on site every day. Lots of birds. Beautiful pools to cool off. We stayed in the villa with access to the adult pool. We love the view and had a great time. Only downside is the onsite restaurants are really lacking. They told us to make reservations for dinner and have the impression the food is good. The sushi restaurant was terrible. The main restaurant made decent snacks. We managed to get Uber (long wait and they cancelled frequently) and connected with a local taxi driver. We still think it’s a great property. Thank you.

Parador Nature Resort is set in the jungle with the ocean near. We saw sloths, howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, toucans, Iguanas and many bird species. It was a treat to see them so close. Staff couldn’t have been nicer, too. A beautiful resort!

I loved how the resort is in the jungle and works hard at making sure the resort works with its surroundings and doesn’t destroy the environment to make way for tourists. This place was clean, friendly, helpful staff and wildlife everywhere. Excellent stay!!

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Parador. Our goal was to see wildlife in their natural environment, and we were not disappointed. We saw a variety each day of our stay, including three species of monkeys, sloths, an anteater, and iguanas. Every staff member was very friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their job of making us happy. Excellent stay! We will return to this resort on our next trip to Costa Rica.

Resort is excellent !! Breakfast, food, bar all good !! I booked this resort hoping that it is on the beach, but it is not and no direct beach access. To get to beach, shuttle can you take you 2 minute ride and then have to walk down on a steep downhill trail for 5 minutes. And then on return, need to walk back all the way uphill 5 plus 5 minutes on steep uphill. you can request shuttle if you have cell phone access to call.
