The property is surrounded by tropical rainforest and the grounds are filled with manicured, foliage-filled gardens. With a spa, four restaurants, several bars and lounges, three swimming pools, and walking trails there is plenty of space to relax, enjoy a meal or savor a delicious, tropical cocktail during your stay. Best of all Parador Resort & Spa is just a short walk to Biesanz Beach and a couple of miles from Costa Rica’s most popular tourist spot, Manuel Antonio National Park. All of the tastefully decorated rooms have balconies with either ocean or rainforest views.
The garden and jungle rooms have views of the greenery, while spacious superior rooms have ocean views. Premier room guests enjoy 180-degree views of the ocean, and large luxury suites are available with an in-room Jacuzzi, wrap-around porch, and private entrance.
