Parador Nature Resort And Spa - A 5-star rainforest retreat with ocean views, wildlife encounters, and luxury amenities
Set on 12 acres of secondary rainforest overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Parador Nature Resort And Spa offers 130 rooms and suites with terraces or balconies featuring garden or ocean views. The property includes five pools, two of which are adult-only, along with a swim-up bar at the main pool. Dining options range from La Galería's ocean-view breakfast buffet to Nama Sushi Lounge's fusion dishes and La Fragata's sunset cocktails. The Pacífica Spa provides treatments across four air-conditioned rooms, a Jacuzzi, and relaxation areas. A certified guide leads 90-minute Monkey Trail hikes to spot monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds. The resort is 0.5 miles from Playitas Beach and 2 miles from Manuel Antonio National Park, with private transfers available to Quepos Regional Airport (9.5 miles away).
