Nayara Gardens

Love this hotel . the staff were extremely nice , and our room was breath taking !

One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in anywhere! The staff was absolutely stunning in their attention to the guests. I highly recommend this hotel, and I appreciated the areas which were free of young children.

I must say the stay at Arenal Nayara Hotel has set the bar pretty high for any other hotel I stay at in the future. The grounds were beyond any compliment I could put into words, the staff made you feel special like a guest in their own home. I have already recommended this hotel to many others and plan on returning again.

Great place to stay!

We talked about barricading the door and slipping our credit card under the door when they came to pry us out. It was that nice. The bed in our room was really uncomfortably hard the first night, but a request to the manager, Jairo, resulted in a quickly padded and comfy bed by that night. Also, we didn't say anything at the hotel, but as a recommendation: both sets of room chairs had arms and were tight for those of us who are large. It would be nice if the rooms had at least one set of upright chairs without arms that could be used either inside or on the porch. Same for the wine bar, bad chairs for a large behind. Housekeeping was impeccable. The grounds were just beautiful. The bar staff was average, but everyone else went above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful. I THINK it was the head 'bellman' who took us to our room one night, and after learning that we hadn't seen a red-eyed tree frog while we were there and were leaving soon, he took us on a frog hunt until he found one we could see and photograph *no flash please/no problem. So very cool. Also, another young man was working in the dining room the night before we left and learned we were checking out at 4AM. He said, "Just ask, someone can put something to eat together for you before you leave in the morning." We insisted at that hour, we'd be too tired for anything. But when we called for our 4AM check out, he picked us up in the golf cart, took us up front to check out, then before our driver came, he pulled out two boxes FULL of food for our 3 hour ride to the airport. (Water, juice, fruit, sandwich) It was such a thoughtful act, and yet at that hour I didn't have the clarity to ask his name for future reference. It might be on our check out paperwork.

Favorite accommodations! It was wonderful!!!

Amazing hotel -- we really enjoyed the privacy of the rooms and grounds.

If we could offer higher scores. We stayed in a Villa, absolutely beautiful so romantic. The staff goes out of their way to be more than accommodating. The breakfast is excellent. Any trip back to Costa Rica we will stay here again and for more nights.

Literally everything about this hotel was perfect. The staff were wonderful, the rooms were amazing, and the restaurants were great

Amazing, amazing place. Ask for the nighttime frog tour and take a flashlight!

This was undoubtedly the best hotel experience I've ever had. Hats off to all of the staff for outstanding service. And the grounds were stunning.

We will be going back to stay there again. Staff was spectacular.

The hotel was really amazing. We were stunned when we first walked into our bungalow. The rooms are very spacious and it truly felt like an upscale, romantic getaway, exactly what we were hoping for. The staff members were all professional and very helpful. We ate at 2 of the 3 restaurants and used the spa for massages which were amazing. We have already been talking about a return trip and staying here.

This place was absolutely AMAZING. The room we had (Casita Deluxe) was beyond our expectations. I can't even imagine what the Villas looked like. The staff here was so great, and the food was delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking to stay in the Arenal region of Costa Rica.

This was like we were in paradise. Our overall expectation of hospitality was surprised everyday. They even packed us food and water for our journey. And gave a free bottle of wine as welcome !! Its a great resort.

Best Hotel Ever

This place was fabulous

Beautiful! Wonderful customer service and the property exceeded our expectations.

Food was high and not up to the rest of the standards we expected. Wine pairing dinner was lots of wine a little bit of food! Place and room... over the top beautiful! Try some other restaurants for dinners and enjoy the place! Staff A++ We did the ECOTERMIALS (?) hotsprings and believe it or not we had no one there for almost the entire 3 hours we played in the springs? Did you all arrange that!

Our room was wonderful, the staff was great everywhere we went the staff called us by name, we really enjoyed our stay.

Love the facility. Dinner one night at the new restaurant - service was slow.

The service, food and cleanliness were next to none. This hotel was the perfect place for our honeymoon; we loved the yoga, the fresh food, friendly staff, impeccable service and how clean EVERYTHING was!! We'd definitely go back again!!
