We stayed 4 nights recently at Hotel Parador in an oceanfront room on the 3rd floor. Upon arrival you are given cool washcloths and drinks! The service is the best from reception to the restaurants and bars and maids. There is a funky little funicular that you take to get to and from your room that everyone enjoyed! Our room... More

We arrived at the hotel early, and they led us into breakfast while they rushed to finish our room. This was what set the tone for our stay. Everyone here is so nice and accommodating. The tour we booked through the hotel was fabulous (it was a dolphin tour and even though we saw no dolphins it was so much... More

We stayed at Hotel Parador as the 2nd half of our honeymoon in Costa Rica (the first half being in the Arenal Volcano area.) Hotel Parador is beautiful, with ocean views to die for. We arrived and were given a welcome drink. We were informed we had been upgraded to a suite... yay! We were taken to our room via... More

Costa Rica is such a great destination that it is hard to decide what part of the country to Visit. The Manuel Antonio area is truly a great spot. Although it is on the Pacific Coast it is not a traditional beach location. This hotel (as all the hotels do) sits on a mountain side overlooking the Ocean and the... More

My husband and I stayed at Parador to celebrate our first wedding anniversary from May 4-8. We bought a Living Social deal for 4 nights stay that included 2 passes to the National Park. I really don't have any negatives to state about our stay, I am only giving it 4-stars, instead of 5, because of the minimal food options... More

The Hotel Parador has a beautiful setting at the end of a crazy, narrow road south of Quepos, Costa Rica. Our room was large and comfortable and the view from our balcony was magnificent. However, there was a strange vibe we got from the employees that they didn’t seem happy and that we were a bother that they had to... More

We spent a week at Parador and literally didn't leave the resort for a couple days. The resort is beautiful, good food, and the staff went well beyond our expectations to be helpful. The wild life was everywhere,amazing views, and we even saw a rainbow. Recommendations for local activities and food were spot on. It is the perfect place to... More

We stayed at Hotel Parador from April 26-May 04 and were completely satisfied. Parador is perched on top of a very steep hill and has excellent views of the ocean. Many of the rooms offer a view of the Pacific and the surrounding jungle, which is beautiful and fascinating. The jungle comes alive around 6am and the animals can be... More
