Beautiful hotel , highly recommend the presidential suite, the view and room was terrific. Lovely setup. Three pools available and two are open 24 hours. Exotic animal life outside your door there are lizards while walking to around the property, howling monkeys which was a cool experience for me because I enjoy animals. It's family friendly also great for couples.

We just had a lovely 8 day stay at the Parador. The customer service was superb from the first welcoming drink on checking in, to the last morning when we were given cold water and towels on returning from our daily run!!

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.

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.

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.
