Queops, Costa Rica
Costa Rica is filled with lush rainforest landscapes and dramatic beaches, and the country’s Manuel Antonio National Park is beloved for its mix of both. It’s within this 4,000-acre park that you’ll find the 129-room, eco-friendly Parador Resort & Spa. Old-world furnishings, 17th-century paintings, and 500-year-old Spanish colonial-era doors set the stage for this luxury-jungle escape, where an enormous breakfast buffet is included in the room rate, and three restaurants (Sushi Fune for Japanese; European-style tapas at La Fragata; traditional Tico fare at La Galeria) keep guests content after oceanfront hikes and day tours. Those who choose to stick to the hotel’s 12 acres are rewarded with four infinity pools and rooms that open on private terraces.
Room to Book:
For the best Pacific views in both directions, book the Deluxe Ocean View room 423, which offers vistas of both sides of the Quepos peninsula.
Insider Tip:
The hotel is located almost a mile from the beach itself; the front desk will take reservations for a spot on the complimentary shuttle.
