Great location and a very clean room. The staff, from check-in to check-out, were extremely courteous and helpful. Umbrellas were thoughtfully provided in convenient locations throughout the property, which was especially helpful during the sudden downpours we experienced on a couple of days. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The rooms were conveniently located, making it easy to get around either by walking or using the golf carts, which was a nice touch. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

I cannot say anything but amazing things about the Parador Nature Resort & Spa. We loved our room and views, the pools were incredible as well as the staff. The beds were so comfortable. We felt like everywhere we went on the property that the staff were so kind and helpful. I loved having the self serve laundry, the outstanding breakfasts, the drinks at the pool bar with the wonderful bartenders who couldn’t have been friendlier. It was a great resort and we hope to return someday in the future.
