I recently returned from my first visit through the area of Manuel Antonio and blown away by this property. I was only at the Parador for two nights but the experience was superb in every regard.

I stayed here a couple of years ago and was totally wowed by my experience. The staff went out of their way to remember our names and make our stay memorable. Very quaint hotel tucked away on a peninsula with stunning views of the ocean and the nearby park. Nothing beats sipping a drink in the swim-up bar! The only... More

I hvae to say, my years of traveling to Quepos just got better. This is the most hospitable hotel I have stayed in in my 15 years of traveling to Quepos. I had always stayed at the Mariposa but I have found a better hotel. Worth every cent to stay here. Gerardo at the pool bar was one of the... More

The hotel was beautiful with a great pool and nice outside dining option. Woke up to howler monkeys on our last day. I would recommend this hotel, nice rooms, nice breakfast buffet. Very friendly staff more than willing to go out of their way to make our stay relaxing. More

Wow, thank you for sharing your wonderful words about our slice of paradise! We opened the suites almost three years ago and indeed everyone loves them. They do have spectacular views, great amenities and a natural clock alarm: the howler monkeys! Regarding our staff… we agree: they are simply the best! Hope you visit our country and our people again More

What an amazing place! We stayed at the Parador while filming an American television show in Costa Rica and had the opportunity not only to stay as guests but have a complete tour as well. The views from some of the rooms were absolutely breathtaking, while the pool and jungle hiking trails added a layer of fun to the entire... More

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pools are great and the food is excellent. Each room has a balcony, many with ocean views. More
