Parador Nature Resort and Spa

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This place is amazing. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by staff and even given a fruit drink with a cold towel for myself and my family to beat the heat. This hotel has every animal right at your location, from sloth to monkeys to iguanas and toucans. I can only say it was so worth staying at the location they have so many things to do from the monkey trail to mini gold and play room and spa. Anyone who is looking to stay in Manuel Antonio and is eager to see wild animals, this is the place. Truly u will not be disappointed. Thank you Parador for making my stay one of the best."
