If you are a nature lover and want to see Sloths, monkeys, birds, etc., you will love the Parador. This was our second time to stay with them, and the service and hospitality from the staff is impeccable. The properly and rooms are well maintained, and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend the Parador.
This is my husband on the patio of our room. The monkeys came by everyday.

I spent 10 days in the Parador hotel. It was very, very impressive. I travel a lot and this is the best hotel. I saw a lot of animals and birds in the hotel. I had an excursion to the MA park and the guide named Rendel was very professional and kind.

The property is absolutely gorgeous. There were wonderful views and lots of wildlife. We stayed in a basic room and it was more than adequate. Some of the reception area staff were not nice and gave conflicting information about the free hotel shuttle. Most of the other staff were very nice though. Be aware if you want to explore the property there is a lot of inclines. Walking to and from the very nearby Biesanz beach was strenuous on the steep incline but very worth it. We saw so many monkeys and wildlife at the beach and on the trail. The meals at the onsite restaurant were good but pricey and service very slow.

Great amenities staff and food. Amazing views all around and every activity you could want nearby. Couples massage was one of the best massages I’ve ever had and my partner loved his too. All the perks of being at a big resort while feeling homey too.

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.

We loved our stay at Parador! The hotel area is beautiful and surrounded by nature and wildlife. We saw sloths, monkeys, raccoons, crabs, gekkos and different kinds of birds just by walking around the resort. The food is good and there are many different restaurant options.

If you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with your kids… Parador resort is the place to stay. We have been here solo as adults and now with our kids and it really is such a beautiful place. Everyone who works here is fantastic.
