Amazing resort, especially for couples! There's three pools, 4 restaurants, and a wine bar. The rooms are nice, and ours included an outdoor shower and jacuzzi! Don't miss the views of the volcano and local wild life!! Friendly and accommodating staff!
Great resort that includes 4 restaurants, 3 pools and a wine bar. The villas are impressive, and include outdoor showers and a Jacuzzi. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Don't miss out on the happy hour (2 drinks for 1) from 4-5pm at the bars!
Definitely lives up to the awards it has received. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful. There are so many activities to do, which were all great. We did the night frog tour and the wildlife refuge center; they were private tours for your group, which is really nice, and they drive you in a private car with water to drink if needed. The spa indescribable! You get a great massage to the live sounds of frogs and rain. The bfast buffet is superb with made to order eggs, crepes or waffles depending on the day, fresh squeezed juices, fresh coconut water, a wide range of fruits, etc. And the rooms were great with relaxing private patios and outdoor showers.
We just checked in and having a drink while waiting for our room to get ready. What a fabulous landscaped property at the base of the volcano. I'm so glad that we chose this place to stay!!!
The staff are very polite and helpful. A great service is the waiter top up of water when you're by the pool. Having dehydrated once in just 3 hours here in east Costa Rica. Water on demand was a real bonus. Of course the two for one same drink cocktail is optional additional fluid. All the restaurants served very good food. The chalet was fabulous.
You cant believe this place until you visit. The staff, the gardens, the casitas and villas are all top notch. The staff make you feel right at home in the rain forest. 5 upscale places to eat on site with some of the best food we had in Costa rica. Enjoy Volcano views or hunt wildlife in the trees you just cant go wrong with this place.
Very romantic place, hidden in a beautiful mountain, surrounded by the most spectacular jungle, all sorts of plants and exotic animals. upon our arrival we were greeted by a very courteous staff, our casita was very private and quiet, I loved the surrounding nature, you can get killed there nobody will know until the maid shows up the next day, lol, that's how private it is, the casitas a very far away from eachother, huge bathroom almost half of the size of the casita, it has an outside shower as well our kid enjoyed it. There is another hotel for adults only kids not allowed, belive me i understand. If you are lazy they'll provide you with golf cart for transportation to the lobby, restaurants, spa, gym. It's a huge place with many hills, you'll need help finding amenities. The food was delicious.
A whole new level of excellence. Everything is amazing. Great food, staff and lush private grounds.
Wow, what an amazing place. From the moment we entered the reception area to being taken to our Villa by golf cart to entering our room. Definitely does not disappoint. Unbelievable room and amenities. First hours here and can wait to see what tomorrow brings. The wine bar at Nostalgia is remarkable. I can not say enough about this resort and we just got here.
Oh, my, god, Becky. What an amazing hotel! This was the first stop on our Honeymoon in Costa Rica. The hotel was picked by our lovely Costa Rican travel agent. She chose correctly! I don't have the best pictures of the place as we were experiencing more than documenting but really it was soooo wonderful. We had a very large room with spring fed plunge pool. There were indoor and outdoor showers. The mini bar is free and is restocked daily. There's even alcohol in the room that we were encouraged to take daily to receive replenishment! (we didn't but appreciated the information.)
All of the restaurants on the hotel grounds were delicious. We requested a Taxi one evening to go to town and had dinner there.
The staff is immensely helpful and will cater to your every whim. The swim up bar pool was super fun and I appreciated we didn't have to pay extra for a covered cabana.
I cannot suggest going to Nayara Springs enough. Just writing this makes me want to go back.
My boyfriend and I stayed here as the last stop on our journey touring Costa Rica. We were met with a friendly welcome after white water rafting at Rio Balsa all day. The Rainforest Villa was beautiful and very clean. The jacuzzi and pool areas were secluded and wonderful for relaxation. Overall, the hotel grounds, and accommodations were fantastic. Our only issue with this hotel was the less than desirable service we encountered during a 'Seafood Night' at Altamira Restaurant. The host was abrupt and downright rude when we asked to be seated. The structure of the buffet/made-to-order seafood night as well as the pricing was unclear and unorganized. Also, my boyfriend has a gluten allergy with the staff readily accommodated, which was very helpful and even went so far as to put together a gluten free to-go breakfast on the morning of our check-out. Overall, this resort is lovely and romantic. However, I felt that the service was inconsistent.

This is the nicest resort I have ever stayed at. The service was second to none. The villas were incredible. The wife and I loved the plunge pool. If you have a little extra cash the villas are worth it. The resort and Costa Rica as a whole we're an incredible experience. I would recommend for anyone to come here and get spoiled for a few days.
This resort is amazing!! From the time you get there to the time you check out they make sure all your needs are met! First, the bungalow's or "bungalove" was wonderful. The room is very romantic, very spacious and extremely comfortable. Every aspect of the room was romantic from the large indoor and outdoor shower and outdoor jacuzzi, it was a great romantic start to our vacation. The staff at Nayara are truly servant hearted. The manager, Jairo, greets you with a glass of wine the day you arrive, and the staff is always around to serve you any way you can. Pools are great and spacious, and the food is out of this world. Start the day with an incredible breakfast buffet, with the best fruit and coffee i've ever had. The restaurants on site are delicious as well and each have a unique and fun theme. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to travel to Costa Rica.
Views from the room are wonderful and the grounds are beautiful. Colors I have never seen before. It is incredible to see how beautiful God's creation is.
I wish that I could give this place more than a 5 star review. It was absolutely amazing. My husband and I are on our honeymoon and stayed here for 3 nights during our trek through Costa Rica. We were shown around by Francisco, who was a delight and pleasure for the remainder of our stay. Not only were we greeted with a bottle of champagne, but also our room was decorated towards making us feel special about being on our honeymoon. The room was absolutely amazing. We used our private outdoor shower every day. The food was the best that we had in Costa Rica. The workers, Alejandra, William and Claudia, were just simply amazing- and they remembered our names every time we went for a meal. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. The view of Arenal volcano is amazing. We even met the owner and he was incredibly kind. I could write a novel about how much We enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this place to everyone I know.
This is the best hotel we stayed at in Costa Rica. The staff were absolutely incredible and exceptionally accommodating. The villas were stunning! The pool with the walk up bar was great and the staff regularly refreshed the towels and brought water (and cocktails if you ordered them). We only ate at the main restaurant, but it was very good (breakfast was a huge spread!). The grounds of the resort are quite large and beautiful to walk around. I love that the villas had hammocks to lounge in and the outdoor shower was a very nice addition.
I've been a server at some very nice restaurants throughout college and have been lucky enough to visit several places and countries throughout my life, so I kinda have an idea of what's good, bad, great service and quality
I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE EXPERIENCED SUCH AMAZING SERVICE, QUALITY FOOD/DRINKS, AND AMENITIESEVER!
We spent 3 days at Riu Palace and 2 days here. Riu Palace seemed like a Motel 6 compared to this. I'd rather stay 3 days here and pay for food/drinks than 6 days at all inclusive..it's that good people.
I could literally write a few chapters on how amazing this place is..but just trust me (and everyone else) and go.
I recommend renting a vehicle and driving (lots of fun!!), but don't even worry about eating elsewhere. You wont want to
We will be back for our 1 yr anniversary..most amazing place i've ever stayed..easily
Awesome rooms with Dip pool. Fantastic service. Book by Costa Rica vacations
This place is amazing. The hotel can book anything you would like to do. The staff is extremely friendly.
This place was perfect. Multiple pools. Multiple Restaurants. Multiple Spas. Secluded Rooms. We could have never left and been perfectly content.
This place is so wonderful. The staff were very attentive and helpful. And the gardens are spectacular. Absolute luxury and comfort. Our room was so beautiful and cozy with a brilliant view of the volcano and a spa on the deck. Can you really ask for more? A staff member drove us around bc we were sad we hadn't seen a sloth and his eagle eye found a baby in the trees. Above and beyond is their philosophy here!! The only draw back was how expensive the food and drinks are. I don't mind spending a large sum on an exquisite dinner but wow just to have a few cocktails and a burger by the pool was SOOO expensive. We already paid quite a bit for the room and the inflated food prices were a little disappointing, it actually kept us from hanging at the pool as much as we probably would have. But the beauty, serenity and service this place offers make it a worthwhile expense.
