"The front desk did not have our reservation and we waited outside a locked gate in a rainstorm for about 10 min. The reception was not warm. We felt like an inconvenience. Even though they have a restaurant it was closed until breakfast. They offered to drive us to town (far away) for dinner. They did not have enough seats in the vehicle for our group so we stayed in and skipped dinner. I think for young locals it’s a great place for family with thermal pools, lake, river and nature.

"Excelente"

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay! The resort was beautiful, exceptionally well maintained, and the views were incredible. The monkey trail was so much fun, and watching the monkeys was definitely one of our favorite parts. What really stood out was the staff. Every single person went out of their way to take personal care of us, and everyone was so knowledgeable and genuinely welcoming. By the time we left, it honestly felt like we were leaving friends behind. The food was amazing, too. We really didn’t have any reason to leave the resort to find a great meal—it had everything we needed right there. Most of all, we left with a true appreciation for the Pura Vida lifestyle. Relax, enjoy the beauty around you, and appreciate the people and experiences along the way. What an incredible Costa Rica experience! 🇨🇷🌴❤️ We will be back!!!"
