This hotel is amazing! The rooms/casitas were so clean, luxurious and fabulous! We honestly we spent a lot of time in the room because it made you want to stay. We had a plunge pool and an outdoor shower which we used instead of the bathroom shower because it was just so awesome to be able to take a shower outside with privacy. The resort is so beautiful. We did go on tours and took advantage of seeing the local attractions while we were in La Fortuna but always looked forward to coming back to the resort. There are 3 resorts owned by Nayara and we had access 2 the the other 2 resorts also - their restaurants, pools and activities. We had access to the hot springs in the tented camp and ate dinner in that resort too. The staff were amazing - Jafet, Fiorella, and all the others (there would be an extremely long list) were so helpful and really made our stay wonderful. I would come back to Costa Rice just to stay here again!

Stayed in a rainforest villa in Nayara Gardens for a week. The experience was wonderful. All of the restaurants were superb, the villa and grounds were immaculate, and the service was extraordinary. 5-stars in every way!

Nayara is the best place in the world and a slice of heaven. This was our second trip and it exceeded all of our expectations. The entire experience from the grounds, casitas, pools, wildlife and absolute best hospitality. Gabriel, Grevein, Daniel, Andreuy, Jefferson and so many more helped to make our stay a paradise full of memories and Pura Vida. To the team, tuanis and a cachete!!!!!! All our love, the Judges

Had a fantastic private lodge. Best accommodation I've had at any resort. Service, friendly staff, cleanliness all get A's. Very peaceful atmosphere with nature providing most of the sounds to be heard.

This is an incredible hotel, incredible service and just amazing location and surroundings. The room was probably one of the very best I have EVER stayed in - esp the private plunge pool. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. I am already booking to go back with my whole family (I was solo this time around). Whether you're a couple, a family, old, young - everyone was at the resort and it seemed perfect for all. I honestly can't fault one thing. The people and the service were the real stand outs. But its location, stunning, amazing rainforest location and high quality maintenance and facilities are just some of the best I ever been to. Their restaurants and food were incredible. Finally its the little things I loved too - like the free mini-bar, always replenished, free breakfast (amazing quality - full omelet bar etc, daily specials, local flavors and produce from the markets) and free laundry. Other hotels offer a good base product & then charge you on and on - not here. Book it now - you will have the holiday of a lifetime I promise.
