Best hotel I have ever stayed at (and I’ve stayed at a lot). There is a reason this place is one of the leading hotels in the world. The resort grounds are incredible, I recommend coming for at least a week as 4 days felt too short for me to see and do everything. The service is outstanding there is an extraordinary attention to all details of your stay. The golf carts are super fun to travel around in and the drivers will gladly show you around. Many animals and wildlife on the property to check out, I saw birds, frogs, snakes, sloths, and monkeys. The spa is incredible, wonderful massages and the food at the restaurants of the highest quality. My favourite restaurant was Mis Amores the Italian food was the best I’ve had outside of Italy. Staff like Lydia (massage therapist), Zander (tour guide), Alexander (cart driver), Xavier (cart driver), Daniel (front desk) and Jesu (transportation) made my trip extra special. One of the pool boys even offered to take Polaroid pictures on the property, which I will keep as a beautiful memory. I cannot recall his name but it was a pleasure! Gracias Nayara!!

My family and I had a wonderful stay! We had a small villa with pool that overlooked the rainforest. We ate at all the family friendly restaurants which were divine. I can assure you far better than the other resorts (which we tried) outside the hotel. The staff are kind and friendly. There are loads of activities daily for both kids and adults make sure to ask them on arrival. Finally, there is a great mix of varying pools and thermal baths don't miss them, obviously free at the resort!

5 . We stayed in 3 5 star resorts in Costa Rica and this was the best by far. Our room had a private mini pool on a lovely deck with tables, chairs and loungers. The actual room could have used a small round table for dining or card playing. We saw and heard lots of birds including the toucan and many more we had to identify with our bird book. The restaurants and staff were outstanding. Upon arrival we were greeted with a fruit punch while the hostess checked us in and described the resort.

We had a fabulous stay at Nayara Gardens. The staff were so friendly upon arrival, the rooms and property are gorgeous. We saw a sloth on the property. The food was delicious. Kevin made our stay amazing with wine and chocolate strawberries for our anniversary.
