the staff is NOT helpful, and the most concerning is the housekeeping staff went through my luggage and stole earrings!! The management did NOTHING to help! I would be very cautious about taking anything valuable.
While the hotel itself is gorgeous the stay there was terrible. Miles driving down a steep winding dirt road full of potholes. They were under massive construction and gave us a room right next door. We changed rooms twice because of ant infestation, massive quantities of cockroaches and a dark colored mold covering the tiles in the bathroom. It ...

We would return in a heartbeat - LOVED PARADOR!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/16/08
Hotel Parador was very relaxing, luxiourious and the staff could not have been nicer! Our only regret is the we only stayed 5 days. It was a very long trip, spent the night in San Jose (which I would skip if at all possible). The food was authentic, fresh and breakfast was heaven. An abundance of fresh fruits, baked goods,custom omlets - ...
loved the location situated high up in the jungle over looking the ocean for miles. jewel like islands dot the horizon at sunset. the only thing I disliked was some lack of privacy.
Excellent hotel and service. Having breakfast with monkeys was so cool. Pool very nice and food good (little rich but if you like French you'll love it). One BIG thing. Watch out for making calls to the US from the room. It is through a company called BBG and they will charge you $40 US per call. The hotel should really warn you about this but they don't.

The HOTEL PARADOR reflects the original concept of a Spanish PARADOR-Hotel - it has a huge collection of antiques etc in the lobby and dining room area.
The Hotel is mid size with a beautiful infinity pool and a nice SPA offering a small adult only pool as well. We did enjoy the amenities and complimentary upgrade to a bigger room w/ nice view ...
The road to get the hotel is horrid!! Unpaved, barely enough room for 2 cars to pass eachother, a clff on one side and a mountain on the other. Pot holes galore! But worth it!! We stayed in one of the suites and the view was amazing! Check in was fast and friendly! Upon arriving at the hotel, we were hot, sticky, thirsty and tired. While checking ...

Money for Nothing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/10/06
To get to the hotel you must drive down a winding unpaved road, too far from main street. The outside jacuzzi was cold and to use the jacuzzi inside the spa, you have to pay, to play billards in the bar area you have to pay, to use the internet you have to pay, and the food is lousy, instead of a general cook, hire a chef if you are a four star ...

A lovely hotel in a stunning location. However, the staff leave something to be desired. On check-in we were kept waiting for our room for 1 hour 40 minutes after the stated check-in time. We had had a long journey and were tired, hot and sticky and wanted a shower and to change. When I complained to ...
