This resort was like being in paradise. Exquisite villas with private plunge pools but also numerous other large pools and thermal spring pools. Exceptional staff across the whole resort, and wonderful food in all of the restaurants.

The staff was so friendly that compensated for everything else. We had an unfortunate event on our first night with Housekeeping, and they tried to compensate us as much as possible, kindness and attention was our favorite reaction from all their personnel, from cart drivers, restaurants, SPAs, and the stars were the reception team. Alonso is a great asset for this property, he made us want to come back and resolved every request we had. Great property, PURA VIDA! Memorable experience for our family.

If you want to be pampered in your suite, have infinite pool within, launder your clothes for free every day, have a refrigerator full of eatables free, twice a day turn down service twice, see all kinds of animals and birds within the property, and have a lava-fed hot spring, and a golf cart service in the very hilly resort Najara gardens is the right place for you. I have stayed in many upscale hotels and this I would consider among the top except for a few minor blemishes. Upon arrival, both Noelle and Alonso welcomed us with the true Costan Rican spirit of “Pure Vida” and lived up to it through our three-night stay. Their tours are conducted by Jacamar (we took two of them, a real highlight to our trip-separately reviewed). You are inside the rain forest very close to the just now inactive Arenal volcano. So expect rain anytime of the day or night with significant wind and humidity. We were in April 2024 that was still considered to be a dry season, but it rained so heavily in the night that we were afraid to go on tour in the early morning at 5 am; we changed our mind, and we are glad we did. They have several restaurants that cater to a variety of food that are reasonably priced. The breakfast was very moderate considering all other aspects of the resort, and they even charged for cappuccino while it was free in the room. Compared to all the other staff, the staff at La Terraza were not that courteous or extra-friendly. Also, there is no easy way to go to the La Fortu

Nayara Gardens is a gorgeous luxury property. Our rainforest pool villa was even better than expected & I had sky high expectations. The grounds are amazing! Lush flora and fauna ♥️. We saw Sloths and many beautiful birds that you don’t see in the US. The varied dining options, the eager to please staff and various activities made this an unforgettable vacation. I would definitely go back and stay at this resort again & highly recommend it. The thermal spas were a beautiful place to relax. I cannot say enough good things about this property. Again, the rainforest villas with that thermal private infinity pool, outdoor and indoor showers & roomy layout are simply stunning.

We hated to leave! The grounds are beautiful. Jurassic Park meets Disneyland (but authentic and so so clean). The staff is the defining point on why I would come back over and over again. Beyond friendly, professional and make you feel so welcome. Yerlin in the Ayla’s dining room has an infectious smile, every bellman greats you and is happy to help you figure out what to do next or drive the property looking for sloths (Blanco, Jason and Jack Danny to name a few but all are fabulous). The food is delicious- you could stay on property and not miss a beat! Treat yourself to the spa - best!!! Yes, already planning our next trip - it’s that good!

This hotel is a paradise!!! Starting with location and ending with staff and amenities. I have no words to describe the service we received with my husband at the hotel. Staff were going all the way to make our needs met. All three Nayara hotels are next to each other and you can use amenities of all of them. All three of them are behind beautiful. Restaurants have great food and service. We are happy that we had an opportunity to stay at Nayara Gardens.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Nayara Springs. It is truly a magical place with extensive grounds that are impeccably maintained and home to many kinds of wildlife. The staff is incredible, friendly, warm and welcoming. Being able to use all of the amenities - pools, restaurants, bars at all 3 connected Nayara properties allows for so many options to explore; 3 nights was not enough for us and we wish we had stayed longer. We have stayed at many luxury and five star resorts and Nayara was by far the best resort at which we have ever stayed.

If your like me and reading hundreds of reviews please just STOP! You will not be disappointed!!! There is a reason why this resort was name one of the top destinations in the world. I'm not sure who manages this resort, but my hat goes off to them. It is truely an experience from the moment till you arrive until you you check out . Everyone and i mean evryone defines customer service to the next level . If you could close your eyes and imagine a mixutre of the four seasons and disneylsnd experience that would get your mind headed in the right direction . All , yes all the food was amazing and paired with some excellent wine choices. Money very well spent. Downside , not staying long enough to enjoy this massive resort! Dont believe me, read the other 1000 plus reviews!!!

We had a wonderful stay in NG. The grounds are stunning, superb restaurants, accommodations, and amenities. Most notably are the hot springs and amazing views of the volcano, along with the exceptional staff. Jean gave us a warm, and informative welcome and was there to help us throughout our stay. Truly a treasure among boutique hotels, with individualized service. It’s luxurious, peaceful, and immaculately maintained. A true paradise!!

Nayara is a top class hotel with great levels of service. Facilities and variety of restaurants are very good. The hotels are located in a hill side o walks up and down can be quite steep (but not difficult). An app to guide you around the 3 hotels would be a sensible idea as the sign posting is average at best

Almost everything was great and specially the staff were super friendly & professional. We rented two villas and they both had mice issue inside the roof structure, and they kept us up at night and we were not able to sleep! We also told the front management, but they couldn't fix it either.

We had the most incredible time here. I read so many reviews for each resort in the area. I have been to Costa Rica before (for several months at a time), and I am well-traveled, so it was difficult. But I cannot wait to return to Nayara Gardens one day! The photos do not do it justice. The grounds are breath-taking. The customer service is top-notch. And the biggest surprise to me was that all three properties — Nayara Gardens, Nayara Springs and Nayara Tented Camps — are all interconnected and open to all guests (at least adults). So, the variety of restaurants, pools, amenities that was available was astounding and totally worth staying in one of these three facilities. Seriously, all the good things in other reviews are true. And we had absolutely nothing we could possibly complain about.

Nayara is not just a place to stay, it is an excursion. The property is beautiful with magical plants, pools, and paths to explore. We saw sloths, hummingbirds, and iguanas on the property. All the pools have their own personalities and are extremely clean. They don’t smell like chlorine and many are your own private oasis. The property is so large to explore but you can always call for a buggy or wave someone over. We even had them call us when they found sloths and they picked us up and brought us to them! The rooms are so unique, peaceful, and offer an experience of their own. Resting on your own hammock and looking at the volcano is beyond words. Sitting in your own private outdoor tub and listening to the tree frogs is so relaxing. They also stock the room with everything you may need, bug spray, umbrellas, and even flashlights. Every staff member is helpful, kind, and go above and beyond to make your experience amazing. You ask a simple question and they pull out all the stops. Norman drove us to the resort from the airport and pointed out sloths and toucans for us! The included breakfast is reason enough to go! Tropical fruit we’ve never had, coconut water, fresh juice, plus a variety of Costa Rican food and American food is available. We are at two of the restaurants and they were five star. Worth every penny with such fresh and rich flavors. We can’t wait to go back to Nayara in the future and bring friends so they can experience this amazing place!
