We had the most incredible stay here. What made the stay so enjoyable was not the impeccable food or beautiful rooms, but the friendly, accommodating staff! We felt so pampered with no detail overlooked and the best service we’ve ever had. My husband and I have travelled the world and this was by far the most incredible service we’ve ever experienced. A special thanks to our accommodating staff including Alonzo,Raquel, Kevin, William and so many others. We will absolutely be back!

Best hotel experience we’ve had in a long time!

We booked Nayara Gardens as part of our last few days after spending 10 days in other areas of Costa Rica. It was the best way to end our vacation, everything at the hotel was amazing starting with the check in, the restaurants, the breakfast and a really nice touch which was that laundry of our clothes was included!

Beautiful location with top notch service, amenities and lodging.
Nicholas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Probably in top 2 or 3 places we have ever stayed at. The whole resort is built in a rainforest or the rainforest has grown around the resort in ways the two are one. The room, the ambience, the service, the food, the environment, the plunge pools,...everything was so so amazing. Had one of our most memorable couple experiences at Nayara Gardens and Nayara Springs!
