    Fotos wasn't spectacular but it was good and there were lot of variety.

    We enjoyed a lot the pool, there are many of them. Room very clean, views were fantastic and location is spectacular, the end of the street, so it is very quiet.

    Check in included so many instructions I felt a little overwhelmed at first. But a quick walk about and I got the lay of the land and enjoyed everything. We were a little underwhelmed by the night tour for the price.

    This resort is beautiful with several pools and wonderful walking paths. A couple of the pools were adult only which provided a relaxing area to read and cool off. The property is stunning with abundant wildlife - saw howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, sloth, frogs, and crabs. The restaurants were great and reasonably priced. The included breakfast was large and included an omelet station. They provided beach towels for the pool.

    Prices in restaurants a bit too high in my opinion. There was a little noise in our room, which was coming from next room fridge (at least that’s what we think). It happened multiple times at day and night and didn’t last for too long but still annoying.

    Luxurious and comfortable. Pools are amazing, most of the stuff very friendly. Rooms were clean, service was good. Restaurants very nice but a bit pricey, also the cocktails.

    Absolutely nothing. This is really worth a 10.

    This was such a dreamy place. Everything is so well arranged! The staff is super friendly (thank you Randall for the excellent service in La Galería!) and will do anything for you. The rooms are spacious and the kingsize bed is great. It’s also very clean. The resort is well maintained and the property is beautifully landscaped. We have spotted beautiful animals around the hotel (scarlet macaws, sloths, monkeys). The pools and pool bar are great. We loved the option for an adult only pool.

    Nothing particular... maybe having a designated playground area for small kids with slides and swings, etc? Maybe there was and never saw it? The hotel is fantastic

    Amazing hotel. The facilities are great, clean, and well maintained. They have areas for adults and for families, which is great (we were traveling with 2 girls 1 and 3 years old). The animals that live within the premises of the hotel are also fantastic: you can spot sloths, monkeys, raccoons, hawks, and others just by walking and keeping your eyes peeled. I'd stay again here.

    Delightful retreat

    • Superior Double Room with Two Double Beds

    There were plumbing issues in our room (water was tepid, not hot and the toilet handle needed shaking to flush properly) but the excellence in all other aspects (and the fact that cool showers were not a hardship in the high heat) made this a minor aspect.

    This resort is superb. The staff is amazing, the facilities are maintained in perfect condition, the spa is fabulous and the location and view are stunning. It is possible to have a full vacation without ever leaving the site (but of course, you will because of the amazing attractions of the area). We enjoyed breakfast overlooking the Pacific coast, with monkeys and parrots playing in the trees. The pools are lovely and it's just delightful to sit on the porch and watch the sun set over the ocean. Truly a magical place. One lesson learned--driving and parking is very difficult outside the resort, so it's far easier (and less expensive) to have the Parador arrange an airport shuttle instead of renting a car.
