What an amazing vacation we had. After 5 days most of the staff had become good friends. It was sad to say goodbye to them. The location is stunning too with 180 degree views of 2 beaches. Outside our room we had a monkey highway as each morning 10 monkeys would walk across the vines outside our room. The wildlife are real happy there as we saw sloths, friendly lizards and lots of monkeys. And last but not least, the food was amazing at both restaurants. We cant wait to return!

⭐️An Unforgettable Stay Surrounded by Nature, Beauty, and Exceptional Service⭐️ Parador Nature Resort exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, every single employee we encountered was genuinely kind, attentive, and went out of their way to provide extraordinary service. The warmth and professionalism of the staff made us feel cared for at every step. The setting itself is absolutely breathtaking. The sunsets here are some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen—golden, expansive, and perfectly framed by the surrounding jungle and ocean views. The resort truly lives up to its name, offering immersive nature experiences that feel both magical and serene. One of the most unforgettable highlights was the wildlife. We had close-up, personal encounters with monkeys that literally climbed onto our balcony—an experience you’ll never forget and one that perfectly captures how connected this resort is to its natural surroundings. The monkeys are harmless and fascinating to watch… just don’t leave your glass door open 😉. Parador strikes the perfect balance between luxury and nature. You feel completely relaxed, surrounded by beauty, yet supported by an incredibly thoughtful and attentive team who clearly take pride in what they do. This is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. We left feeling restored, inspired, and already talking about when we can return. Highly, highly recommend.

Everysingle staff member was kind, helpful and positive. They were genuinely thoughtful and went out of their way to help with anything needed. The room was incredibly clean, the view was stunning, the pool was fresh and not overcrowded. All of the meals were delicious, (mahi mahi ceviche was out of this world) we enjoyed every breakfast (large portion), it came with various fresh fruit, homemade bread and coffee, latte or cappucino. Jack and Abraham our servers were so kind! We enjoyed the golfcart rides to the main road, the drivers made us feel like friends, Jose, Walter,Oscar,Anthony, (all of them)imprinted positive memories on our hearts! The owner was cheerful and kind, greeting us regulary, making us feel right at home. The views from everywhere were spectacular! We especially enjoyed watching the sunsets, whether it be from the infinity pool, dinner, our balcony, or most memorably, from the rooftop, listening to music, having appetizers and delicious drinks! We took a fabulous tour of the rainforest with Clarence, his knowledge on the animals, wildlife and plantlife was impressive, he showed us macaws, a sloth and different species throughout the hike that is included in the stay! Our concierge Edson was amazing! He set up excursions, shuttles, taxis, special meal requests, answered questions and always stayed kind, thoughtful and helpful. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime that we will cherish for a lifetime!
