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!

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 stay at Nayara Gardens was truly unforgettable, it exceeded all of our expectations! The property is absolutely stunning, with lush gardens, breathtaking views, and an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and serene. Every corner feels like a little slice of paradise.
What really made the experience stand out was the exceptional service. Every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. From our amazing tour guide and driver who went above and beyond with our kids, to the thoughtful golf cart drivers who created little magical moments for them, everyone made us feel at home and well cared for.
The rooms were beautiful and private, the pools and hot springs were dreamy, and the dining options were delicious. We loved how family-friendly it was while still feeling like a romantic and relaxing getaway.
We can’t recommend Nayara Gardens enough, it’s a place where you can truly disconnect, reconnect with nature, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay overall and truly enjoyed the property as part of my husband’s birthday trip. The resort is beautiful, the accommodations were excellent, and we appreciated the peaceful setting.
Unfortunately, our experience was impacted on the final day due to a miscommunication regarding our airport transfer. I had confirmed transportation the day before and was instructed to be at the front desk at 7:20 AM. We arrived early, but it became clear that the request had not been properly relayed to the team. As a result, we departed nearly an hour late and came very close to missing our only nonstop flight home—which would have significantly disrupted our schedule.
While this was a frustrating end to an otherwise lovely trip, we do hope to return. Next time, I will be sure to double-confirm any arrangements made with the staff to avoid similar issues.

Exceptional!
Nayara Gardens was exceptional!! It truly exceeded my expectations. The property is gorgeous, the restaurants offer delicious food, and the rooms are spacious, modern, and beautiful. As others have mentioned, it is essentially one big resort with 3 different sections, so you can easily visit Nayara Springs and Nayara Tents by simply strolling the property. Personally I loved staying in Nayara Gardens because of the fantastic location/proximity to the Terraza restaurant where the complimentary breakfast buffet was offered (I’m not a morning person and so I’m usually rushing to make it 😅). Plus, golf carts are available to take you across the property to different restaurants, pools, and spas. I got a treatment at Sukho Spa (the spa in the Nayara Tent section) and it may have been the most gorgeous spa experience I have ever had. We also loved the hot springs on the property; beautiful and relaxing. The staff is extremely warm and helpful. We saw a couple sloths and several toucans in the property (admittedly with the assistance of staff pointing them out). Overall we had a fantastic stay and wish we spent more time there!
