"This was our favorite stay in Costa Rica. The service was exceptional, the room was beautiful and private, and the jacuzzi was a dream after long days exploring. The restaurant alone is worth the visit."

"We paid months ahead as with many other accommodations, which we've never had any issues with. This place was hard to find so we called to clarify directions, and we were told if we didn't have a 4x4 that it wasn't possible to get to (which was NOT mentioned on the booking site on Expedia) We were left to scramble and find a place to stay last minute which was inconvenient and cost a lot more. We were also informed we would be given the money back but months later we still haven't seen it. "

"Convenient location (our guide picked us from there), spacious room with all amenities, nicely decorated inside and out, secure parking right in front of the rooms, very flexible host (we arrived late and got checked in fast and he was wiling to let us check out late next day if we are not back from the tour on time). Great stay!"

"The owners were very demanding and did not allow us to use the dryer. The complex did not even allow us to place the towels in a chair outside to dry. "

"The view from La Mariposa is spectacular. When you stay here you can expect friendly and helpful staff, fabulous food (breakfast is included with your stay), and the occasional wildlife sighting. We were greeted each morning by curious monkeys and colorful birds, which added another dynamic to our stay that made it unforgettable."
"Clean room, very friendly and helpful staff. Impressed by the hot breakfast, great variety. The breakfast restaurant has a great view of the ocean and rainforest by the beach. Very cozily decked up for the holidays! The guest service staff were very helpful. They helped us with day tours booking for various activities. Comfortable and luxurious stay. I highly recommend this place. "
"Clean room, newly renovated bathroom, has air conditioner. It is at top of mountain so the view from room and dining area is great! Breakfast has fresh fruit and traditional dishes. Very friendly staff. We saw squirrel monkeys and capuchin monkeys during the guided walk. Parking space is limited but we never had a problem finding a place to park. Highly recommend!"
"The rooms were cleaned regularly and spotless and the staff friendly, but what really stood out was the abundant nature. I saw more wildlife here than on all of the nature tours I went on put together. I saw 3 different types of monkey, iguanas and lots of birds including the striking fiery-billed toucan. "
"We had an incredible time at Parador Nature Resort and Spa. The property is beautiful and surrounded by wildlife — we saw monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and so much nature right on the grounds. The pool was fantastic, and the hot tub area was extra hot (which we loved after long days exploring).
The staff were absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We met so many interesting people from all over the world, which made the experience even more special. Everything is close and easy to access, and the free golf cart shuttle service into town and to Manuel Antonio Park was a huge bonus and very convenient.
Drinks were good (a bit pricey, but expected for a resort), and breakfast was wonderful — do not skip the omelet, it’s excellent.
Overall, a great experience from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!"
"The location is really good and the check-in is smooth.We had an ocean Garden view family room. The sunset was beautiful. The garden with the pools is amazing. The room is clean and spacious with lots of windows so you will feel you are in the rainforest. The full kitchen is convenient. We are really happy staying in this hotel."
"We stayed at this hotel in Jacó and had a wonderful experience. Pablo is amazing—an excellent communicator who truly makes you feel like the place, the city, and even the air around you are yours. He gave us great restaurant recommendations, and every place we tried was excellent. Pablo was genuinely one of the best people we met on our trip.
The property itself is a bit farther out, so having a car is recommended. Parking is ample and easy. The property is clean, and the swimming pool is very close and convenient.
Overall, a great stay with outstanding hospitality."
