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!
Adorable and vibrant check-in area
Beautiful spots throughout the property
LOVED the room, especially the gorgeous mural

Leslie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Sept/Oct was an amazing time to go in my opinion. Slower and less crowded, and the weather made the Termas even better. A light rain and fog while in the thermal baths in the middle of the rain forest. Everything was better than we could have hoped for and expected. The property, and staff/service is next level, and we were really impressed! It was surprising to learn that Nayara Gardens guests can use Nayara Springs amenities too! The Casitas in Nayara Gardens were perfect, and the staff split the king bed into two beds for me and my friend! Amazing place, and we will be back!!
