10/10 Excellent

Truly an oasis.
Kaneily, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!

Had the pleasure of staying at Nayara again and everything was excellent! From the room to the service we had a great time and can't wait to go back!
NICHOLAS, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Marilyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed here for our honeymoon and really loved it. The vibe is tropical and intimate. It was very romantic. The staff are extremely friendly all the time and the spas are incredible. Awesome if you are looking for the jungle side of Costa Rica near the Arenal Volcano.

10/10 Excellent

My wife and I stayed at Nayara Gardens last year. We loved it so much we came back this year. Such a beautiful resort! Staff, service and food all 1st class. Alberto Vargas on the reservations team booked our transportation from/to Liberia, our dinner reservations at the resort as well as all our activities. He was super responsive via email and everything went perfect. Johnn and the rest of the front desk staff treated us as old friends. The restaurants are all fantastic! Nayara Culinary Director Chef Gianluca Re Fraschini made it a point to stop and introduce himself to us and then had an off-menu custom dinner prepared for us that night that was fantastic!. What more can I say just a first class resort! We are already planning a trip back next year!

Kaike, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Rizzy, 3-night trip
