Fantastic trip for our family of 5, with kids aged 5, 10 and 17. We did two rainforest casitas - one for us and one for the kids. Everything - food, pools, rooms, property and excursions - 10/10. We loved the night walk and hanging bridges private tours the most. We saw lots of tree frogs, sloths, howler and spider monkeys. We were entirely spoiled the whole time! The younger kids painted with the artist at breakfast and the canvases are treasures now that we are home. It was the best family vacation we've had - truly a special resort. I wish I remembered all the names of our tour guides. Maricella (Mariella? I wish I wrote it down!!) is a gem - she was our private guide for the hanging bridges. We also loved our night walk guide. We stayed in Gardens but spent time at the tented camp and springs - all 3 resorts are pristine.

Everything about the Nayara Resort was wonderful. Wish there was more of them around the world. The grounds, the staff, the bungalows, the amenities, the excursions and tour guys were all fabulous. Vacation in the rainforest - nothing else like it. I highly recommend it.

We loved our experience at Nayara Gardens! From the moment we stepped on the property, the staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. The food at Ayla was delicious, and the spa was a relaxing oasis. Our room was beautiful, and our son loved the pool in our room. The thermal hot springs were a real highlight. We would highly recommend!
