Our experience at Nayara gardens was top notch from start to finish. The resort itself is so beautiful, and you are welcome to use the pools and restaurants at all the Nayara properties. We had a room with a plunge pool which was fabulous. The pool was wonderfully heated -- not quite hot tub but warm enough to just sit in at nighttime. Housekeeping did an exceptional job and the service from every staff member was wonderful. Would definitely come back again!

When can we go back???? Every aspect of this visit was outstanding! The resort is lush with tropical foliage, perfectly manicured, and our cassita made us feel as if we were living on the set of “White Lotus.” Alessandra at reception became our “new best friend,” frequently engaging with us and offering activity suggestions. A golf cart driver (at his suggestion) took a brief detour on our way to the quiet pool to show us a sloth! Dinners in three different restaurants were all excellent—couldn’t tell you which was our fav—Mediterranean, Asian Fusion or fine dining. Rachael, one of our servers in two locations was so upbeat and made us feel so welcome! Sigh, we have to go back and the sooner the better!

This hotel is beautiful and the service is superior to other hotels in the area. Nayara is big enough to offer many different culinary and activity options, yet it's small enough to feel very intimate, secluded, and full of nature. It is incredibly clean and the rooms are very private. Our favorite part of the hotel was the wildlife on property. In our three-day stay we were able to see howler monkeys, iguanas, all sorts of birds, and many sloths. This hotel is perfect for couples or well-behaved families.
