Piece of heaven in the Costa Rican rainforest.

This is hotel is a little piece of paradise! The gardens are absolutely unreal, full of exotic animals and plants, while super safe and fun to walk through. The hot springs looked like a pure bliss, tho we didnt have a chance to try them as there were so many other things to do. The restaurants on site are incredible, and if anything, there are too many of them, so we only tried a few, during our 3 day stay. The room was huge and the heated pool was incredible feature. We felt like we were alone in the middle of the jungle most of the time, all while being super safe. The service was also amazing, everyone was trying really hard to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. Hard to describe in words what an amazing piece of art and comfort this hotel is.

Privacy, style, comfort, food - everything was exceptional!

Gorgeous casitas & property - very private, the room was gorgeously styled and had everything we needed. Exceptional breakfast, great morning yoga (and a fresh coconut right after!). Amazing customer service as well. Thank you, we’ll be back!

Amazing! Highly recommend!

Our stay at Nayara Gardens was absolutely phenomenal. Everything was perfect from start to finish and truly made our honeymoon unforgettable. We were welcomed with champagne and roses, and the view of the volcano from our room was simply breathtaking. The entire staff went above and beyond, but a special mention goes to Will, who kindly took us to see sloths and made sure we were well taken care of. His warmth and kindness made the experience even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a more magical stay. Breakfast is great also!

Stunning location, amazing accommodations and really good food

The property is amazing, you truly feel in the rainforest. We saw sloths, motmots and other birds. Staff was really nice and food was really good as well. They have a lot of options for people with food allergies / intolerances and are constantly asking if someone needs alternatives or something to pay attention to. We definitely want to visit again!

Excellent Hotel

This is a special place. The rooms are separate buildings (or luxury “tents”) each with a plunge pool. The rooms are large and well furnished and decorated. The beds are huge. There was an outside shower with excellent pressure (plus an inside one of you prefer). There are three or four restaurants and multiple bars and swimming pools. The hotel covers a huge area and never feels crowded. We are in two of the restaurants. Our preference was for the Asian one. Breakfast is good.
