Parador Nature Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I booked a Vista Suite and the view from this room made me feel like I truly escape from reality and into a jungle dreamscape. The staff were super friendly and willing to help if they see a guest needs to some assistance. The group hotel chat was super helpful to provide assistance. The pool was awesome and the bartender at the pool side bar was awesome! I want to go back "
