Gourmet Dining Experience

I was pleasantly surprised by the dining options at the Parador Nature Resort. The food was so delicious that I never felt the need to venture out. We enjoyed a leisurely dinner at the main restaurant, where the ambiance was lovely and the quality of the food exceeded my expectations. My favorite dish was the Costa Rican steak, which was cooked to perfection!

I had a great stay at this hotel, enjoying friendly interactions with the tour desk and reception staff.

Nestled in a beautiful part of Costa Rica, the location is fantastic for seeing wildlife right on the hotel grounds. It's close to Manuel Antonio National Park, making it convenient for day trips, but isolated enough that a shuttle or taxi is needed for other outings.
