This place is top of the heap!! I have stayed at lots of quality resorts and this one is on top of the list.. check in was easy, room was awesome, food and restaurants were great and plentiful. You can get a golf cart to shuttle you around or walk.. the property is beautiful and has three resorts to wander thru to eat, get coffee, jump in the thermal baths, or go to one of their three spas.. its a must try and the people are also awesome!!

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!!

The staff was so friendly that compensated for everything else. We had an unfortunate event on our first night with Housekeeping, and they tried to compensate us as much as possible, kindness and attention was our favorite reaction from all their personnel, from cart drivers, restaurants, SPAs, and the stars were the reception team. Alonso is a great asset for this property, he made us want to come back and resolved every request we had. Great property, PURA VIDA! Memorable experience for our family.

If you want to be pampered in your suite, have infinite pool within, launder your clothes for free every day, have a refrigerator full of eatables free, twice a day turn down service twice, see all kinds of animals and birds within the property, and have a lava-fed hot spring, and a golf cart service in the very hilly resort Najara gardens is the right place for you. I have stayed in many upscale hotels and this I would consider among the top except for a few minor blemishes. Upon arrival, both Noelle and Alonso welcomed us with the true Costan Rican spirit of “Pure Vida” and lived up to it through our three-night stay. Their tours are conducted by Jacamar (we took two of them, a real highlight to our trip-separately reviewed). You are inside the rain forest very close to the just now inactive Arenal volcano. So expect rain anytime of the day or night with significant wind and humidity. We were in April 2024 that was still considered to be a dry season, but it rained so heavily in the night that we were afraid to go on tour in the early morning at 5 am; we changed our mind, and we are glad we did. They have several restaurants that cater to a variety of food that are reasonably priced. The breakfast was very moderate considering all other aspects of the resort, and they even charged for cappuccino while it was free in the room. Compared to all the other staff, the staff at La Terraza were not that courteous or extra-friendly. Also, there is no easy way to go to the La Fortu

Nayara Gardens is a gorgeous luxury property. Our rainforest pool villa was even better than expected & I had sky high expectations. The grounds are amazing! Lush flora and fauna ♥️. We saw Sloths and many beautiful birds that you don’t see in the US. The varied dining options, the eager to please staff and various activities made this an unforgettable vacation. I would definitely go back and stay at this resort again & highly recommend it. The thermal spas were a beautiful place to relax. I cannot say enough good things about this property. Again, the rainforest villas with that thermal private infinity pool, outdoor and indoor showers & roomy layout are simply stunning.
