A verified traveller stayed at Parador Nature Resort and Spa
"The view was gorgeous and even better than expected. The pool was really lovely and taken care of. Out room was cozy with a great bathroom. We loved the staff. Joseth assisted us with our bags and helped us around as well. We really enjoyed his help and his kindness added to our stay. Even though it is at the top of the hill everything thing feels very close and easy to get to. I would definitely stay again. "

"Amazing hotel. Amazing staff. Very accommodating and welcoming. Our first time in C.R. We only spend two nights here because we’re doing 4 hotels throughout the country. When we return, we will most definitely spend at least 4 days. Their poolside happy hour is a great deal. Their free breakfast buffet was one of the best. If you enjoy a delicious spicy salsa, make sure you ask for La Salsa Bimbo on the side. Very spicy and flavorful. I told the waiting staff that if they could get me the recipe, I’d be their frequent customer LOL!"
A verified traveller stayed at Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio
"We went here for our honeymoon- and LOVED it!! Incredible breakfast, beautiful view right from the dining area, sunsets unlike any I’ve ever seen, right from our jacuzzi. Private jacuzzi on each balcony… amazing. Also plenty of options for local tours/etc and they arrange for transportation and guides and everything.
Manuel Antonio national park- amazing wildlife, worth getting a guide who can point out all the biodiversity with binoculars!! And the beach there is incredible- clear water, white sands. Not much to see as far as hiking - for avid hikers might be better to go to a different part of Costa Rica.
10-15 minute hike to several private or semi private beaches, which we enjoyed we love hiking. 20 minute walk to Manuel Antonio, several cute restaurants - would recommend Emilio’s Cafe, Monarcha (butterfly cafe & good breakfast). Don’t recommend the restaurant Sunset! Food was overpriced and not very good. Issimo’s restaurant was delicious!! Staff very prompt and kind. Definitely pricey so we went to Manuel Antonio most nights. The suites at Issimo do appear not to have been remodeled since ~2010 or earlier- so alittle older BUT we didn’t really care, found it still incredibly luxurious for us, especially for the price.
Hope this review helps! We loved Issimo "
