I've heard great things about Parador. I've never been but, considering its' location right inside MA National Park, it must be awesome! I've stayed at the following: Si Como No, Piscinas, Hotel Mariposa and another place that escapes me. It is the LAST hotel before entrance to MA. I really recommend Mariposa. It is on the expensive side but the view, service, food and beverages were outstanding!

Just a minor correction...the Parador is not inside the MA National Park. It is located a couple of miles before the Park. You take the right-hand turn next to the Mariposa and it's at the very end of the dirt road, on top of a peninsula. The Makanda By the Sea and La Mansion Inn are located about half-way down the hill. I've stayed at the Parador about four times, and the Si Como No twice. They are both fantastic places to stay, albeit somewhat expensive. One time while staying at the Parador in the rainy season, part of the dirt road was unpassable due to heavy rains, and
we had to walk and carry our suitcases the last hundred yards or so!
