8/10 Good
"The staff was very helpful and since it is a larger property, was always extra helpful when we needed a ride to the front of the property (to be able to leave the property for an adventure or dinner) and back to our room after we were done, no matter the time of day. The rooms were a bit outdated but clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was very good also."

Nayara Gardens

Nayara Gardens

10/10 Excellent
"As a Costa Rican, I almost never vacation at hotels locally. Too often, the domestic hospitality scene feels pretty average—or frankly underwhelming—for what you end up paying, so my expectations were cautiously neutral. Nayara Gardens completely proved me wrong. From the second we pulled up, the service was on another level. The staff is warm, dialed-in, and remarkably professional without feeling stiff or scripted. The rooms are stunning, tucked right into the rainforest with total privacy and insane attention to detail. The food across every restaurant was genuinely phenomenal, the spa was pure bliss, and every tour we booked ran like clockwork with guides who actually knew their stuff. It’s rare to find a place that nails every single aspect of the guest experience, but Nayara pulled it off effortlessly. They set a whole new bar for luxury here, and we’re already planning our next stay."
