"The house was unexpectedly nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the cool (unheated) but not cold, jacuzzi pool after a long hot day in Manuel Antonio park. This is a nice place, but they really, really, need to let folks know that this place is very remote and the road is very bad. Great if you want to bring everything and just stay there, but it is a 45 minute drive on bad, unlit roads to come or go from the lodge. We could see several places where the hillside had given way into the road and one...

We also thought there was a washing machine (the listing mistakenly stated that) and the host was willing to cover our laundry service cost for the inconvenience, which we greatly appreciated.

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience! Our stay at Parador Nature Resort & Spa was absolutely incredible. From the moment we checked in until the day we left, everything was seamless and welcoming. One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing wildlife. We encountered so many animals throughout the property and were able to observe them up close. The white-faced monkeys were especially memorable—one adventurous monkey even managed to break into our room! It definitely gave us a story we’ll be talking about for years and made our Costa Rica experience even more unforgettable. The food and drinks were outstanding, and the restaurants offered breathtaking views that made every meal memorable. The resort is also conveniently located near beautiful beaches, and the complimentary shuttle service made getting there easy and stress-free. Parador combines exceptional service, stunning scenery, incredible wildlife, and a true Costa Rican experience. We loved every moment of our stay and will definitely be back!"
