Parador is the perfect family friendly resort. All staff members were incredibly nice and helpful. The amenities were excellent and the breakfast buffet was a huge plus. There were so many animals at the resort, you didn’t even need to leave! Highly recommend!

Beautiful resort. Great for families with kids. Great pools and the kids can spot lots of animals around the property. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the restaurants have great choices for lunch and dinner. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

The customer service was amazing! We celebrated our daughter’s 4th birthday with them. The resort made it very special for her by having a special cupcake made for with her name and placed on our bed for when she got back to the room. They were able to bake her a cake that they served with the delicious dinner that was served. Edwin went above and beyond to help our family and introduced our kids to the resident Iguana (Pedro)!! Would recommend this place to anyone.

Be aware! Although this property was beautiful, it doesn't make up for the stress and anxiety I've been going through since I stayed here in April. I reached out to management regarding my situation and how they handled it was beyond disappointing. They downplayed my situation and deflected instead of taking responsibility. People travel from all over the world here and it is common for them to be at hotels. Bed bugs bites effect everyone differently and some people get a reaction, while others don't get any. Sometimes it can take days up to a week for the bumps to show up on your skin. I unfortunately got a reaction. On the last night I was here I slept in shorts and this is where they attacked me all over my body. This was the only hotel my family and I stayed at on our trip and I was the unfortunate one to get a bad reaction. I checked our suitcases and did though cleaning to make sure we didn't have any travel back with us. I suffered from severe itchiness, hyperpigmentation and scaring. I have to wear long pants, and apply creams that I have to pay out of pocket for. I have pictures of the bed bug bites all over my body. Please be careful and inspect your hotel room. I don't want any one else to go through what I'm going through!!

The staff was incredibly friendly and kind. The cleaning staff left my girls extra chocolates, made swans on the bed for my 7 yo, showed us sloths, and found us a private boat to go on that would fit my whole family. The free breakfast had a huge variety of things to choose from and was delicious. Everything about this place was amazing.

We loved our stay at Parador Nature Resort and Spa. The staff was amazing from the bell boy who welcomed us to the restaurant staff. They each made an effort to learn our names and were a delight to be around. There was a lot of wildlife on the property (Tucans, monkeys, sloths, lizards, etc). Our rooms as well as the installations were very clean. We had an amazing experience here and will be recommending this resort to our friends and family!
