I spent 10 days in the Parador hotel. It was very, very impressive. I travel a lot and this is the best hotel. I saw a lot of animals and birds in the hotel. I had an excursion to the MA park and the guide named Rendel was very professional and kind.

If you are a nature lover and want to see Sloths, monkeys, birds, etc., you will love the Parador. This was our second time to stay with them, and the service and hospitality from the staff is impeccable. The properly and rooms are well maintained, and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend the Parador.
This is my husband on the patio of our room.  The monkeys came by everyday.
