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!

The property is absolutely beautiful, with stunning architecture, lush gardens, hanging bridges, and impeccably maintained grounds that feel very private and peaceful. The rooms are spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. Our room offered a lovely view of the Arenal Volcano and included an outdoor jacuzzi, an outdoor shower, and an indoor shower. We were also fortunate to see two toucans directly from our room, which was a special highlight. Overall, our experience was mixed. The staff was attentive and friendly, but did not seem sincere. The food was generally mediocre and overpriced. Breakfast was particularly disappointing, as it felt prepackaged rather than freshly prepared. The front desk recommended the Middle Eastern fusion restaurant, which did not meet our expectations, though the wine list was excellent. The Italian restaurant, Mis Amores, stood out as the best dining option on the property and also offered the best service. The staff at Mis Amores were genuinely welcoming and authentic. Their warmth felt sincere, and their interactions reflected their personality and culture rather than rehearsed courtesy. The spa treatments were underwhelming for the price. That said, I would return for the beautiful rooms, lush gardens, and overall setting, which are truly exceptional.

Mixed reactions for this resort. The resort and the surroundings is beautiful. The Peruvian / Costa Rican was one of our best meals. The breakfast was also fulfilling. Why the low rating on our side? Well, one of our neighbors (full of teenagers) was quite noisy - going into 11pm-12am screaming. We alerted the hotel staff numerous times. Alonzo, shame on you, picked up the phone and was in no way empathetic and did not know how to handle this situation. His response to my wife, "they are guests, too". Excuse me?!?! and what made it worse, he wanted to come to our room and get a sampling of the noise himself. Come on now ?!?! -- "come into our room?" This was so ridiculous. That is not how a 5 star resort handles noisy guests and turn down hours. They need to better train their staff on protocols or reprimand this staff member. This pretty much ruined our multi night stay here. The management next morning was regretful, but it cannot take back our night. Because of this, it's a shame -- we cannot fully recommend this resort.

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.

Everything was awesome except the massage. For a massage which costs 900$, the experience was underwhelming and it was a bad massage

I would recommend Nayara Gardens a thousand times over. Absolutely amazing stay. My entire trip was incredible, and it was all made possible by the outstanding staff and the resort itself. I don’t have a single complaint — not one. I’ll definitely be back within the next six months. Special shoutout to John, Johan, and Francisco — they truly went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. I celebrated my birthday and a few personal milestones while there, and the team made every moment feel special with thoughtful complimentary touches. Breakfast was included and hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. So many delicious and healthy options — I left the country craving their breakfast. Even though I didn’t get to meet the property manager, Luis, his leadership clearly shows through the entire team. Every staff member was kind, attentive, and dedicated to making sure guests had a perfect experience. If you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, do yourself a favor — go to La Fortuna and stay at Nayara Gardens. Tell them I sent you.

This was our second time here, the plunge pools were great and the Nayara Tents resort was great to visit. Staff was great throughout all resorts and the food was amazing.

WOW, where do I even begin? From the moment we arrived until the day we reluctantly checked out, this resort delivered absolute perfection. Without question, this was by far the best trip of our lives. Service: The staff was incredible - warm, welcoming and genuinely caring. From the front desk to housekeeping to the restaurant team, everyone went above and beyond to make us feel valued and taken care of. It’s rare to see such attention to detail and passion for hospitality. Room & Amenities: We were in awe with everything—spacious room, private plunge pool, view of volcano, outdoor shower, and even free laundry service. Food & Dining: Every meal was impeccable. Fresh ingredients, world-class flavors and creative presentation. Our favorite restaurant was the Mediterranean. The best hummus and pita EVER! Do not hesitate to book this resort! We are already looking to return in 2026.
