Absolutely everything about this stay was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. The room was the best I’ve ever stayed in. The staff treated me like a queen. The best massage after hiking 500 steps up and down to get to La Fortuna waterfall. 10/10 air conditioning and pools for when Costa Rica gets hot.

Everything was a dream. The facilities are extremely nice, the service is outstanding, amenities are awesome. We loved the room, the resort restaurants and wine bar. Our favorites were the espresso bar and the hot springs! The gym could be a little bigger, but loved the yoga area too!

Rainforest Villa was amazing very clean, staff was awesome at all times, chefs were great, enough options for dinner in the resort as well as amenities where you dont have to leave the resort make sure to eat at la terazza as chef John is awesome. The resort feels like you right in the middle of the rainforest full of beautiful lush landscapes.

One of the best resorts, the best staff of any hotel that i have ever seen. They were very welcoming, caring and always ready to help. During my stay in Costa Rica, I stayed at another more expensive property but did not find the same warmth and enjoyment. I came to regret not putting all my days at Nayara, a sentiment that was shared unanimously in my group. Usually don’t write reviews, I think this place deserves the praise.

One of the best hotels in Costa Rica. The rooms were all very spacious, amenities & services were great. The hotel is situated in a very great and lush area. We saw a lot of animals during our stay! Would definitely 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!

We just had a fabulous time. The entire staff went out of their way to accommodate every need we had or wished for other than we wanted to stay another night, obviously not their fault!!

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!

Our 2nd stay here. Amazing hotel. Nothing compares in the region. The private pools are so unique and the rainforest setting surreal. This brand knows hospitality Highly recommend.
