A 5 * hotel located close to Manual Antonio national park. It has open water views, a number of pools, and most special of all it's own forest trail. We saw more animals on that trail and around the hotel, then on a guided trip through the national park. It has several options for dining and nice breakfast buffet.

I liked how it was a big place, but was also private in its own way. There were multiple pools, and it felt like we were in our own little neck of the woods. The staff was amazing!! Everyone was so friendly, and the food was outstanding. Loved everything about it.

Our stay at Hotel Parador was nothing short of amazing! The service was exceptional—they went above and beyond by surprising us with wine and chocolate-covered strawberries to celebrate our anniversary. Every restaurant was fantastic, offering delicious food and great ambiance. A tip for future guests: download WhatsApp, as it makes contacting customer service incredibly convenient. We had an unforgettable experience and will definitely be back!
