This resort offers breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for those looking to escape into nature. The staff is outstanding and makes you feel at home, while the rooms are clean and comfortable. However, the dining options are limited, with only one open restaurant for dinner, which can be inconvenient. The property is also isolated but offers amazing wildlife experiences and decent facilities.

My stay at this resort was truly wonderful, with stunning views and plenty of wildlife to enjoy right on the property. The rooms were spacious, modern, and comfortable, featuring amenities like a jacuzzi and a balcony that provided great scenery. The dining options were tasty, but I found the breakfast selections somewhat limited. While the facilities were excellent, including multiple pools, I wish the Wi-Fi worked better in more areas of the hotel.

My stay at Parador in Manuel Antonio was mostly wonderful, highlighted by the beautiful wildlife and excellent dining options. However, I initially faced some disappointment with my room not matching the advertised amenities and the beach being quite a trek away. Once we settled in, the staff were charming and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing.
