    Only downside was the weather which meant we never saw the volcano due to the rain and mist

    Absolutely stunning grounds, saw sloths, parrots and monkeys. Facilities are flawless- room was the best we have ever stayed in.

    I would have liked more walking trails accessible from the property if they are looking to improve.

    Everything. The most amazing place I’ve ever been. Excellent food, tons of animals on property (saw baby sloth from five feet away!), the staff would give us impromptu Spanish lessons… swim up bar in the springs had amazing bar tenders, special treats upon check in, turn down service, at the Italian place. I wanted to go back as soon as I left. 😂

    Made a reservation at Ayla and when we got there manager said he could not find it .. hostess said someone deleted it.. i know probably manager deleted it so he could accommodate one of his customers from tented camp.. once i asked if Leo the owner was there they sat us..manager jeffrey when to all his rich customers to check everything never came to our table.. food was not great for a fancy place.. best food was at the italian place Mis Amores and breakfast in la terraza is awesome.. so i will take a star off only because of jeffrey the manager at Aylas.

    Beautiful grounds and nice pools.. awesome views

    The gym could be better and open longer - but that’s really not a big deal when you’re in a paradise like Nayara

    Everything was just stunning - vegetation, animals, pools, property layout and the villas - breathtaking

    The asian/sushi restaurant was average.

    The room, staff, location, views, facilities, breakfast restaurant, mediterranean restaurant were outstanding! The nature walk was fantastic. The common pool and bar were terrific as well. Would definitely like to visit again.

    The trip was too short. We stayed 13 nights and would have loved another week.

    A beautiful hotel with a 5-star plus service. Breakfast in Nayara Gardens is a great start to wonderful days. The property has a great selection of restaurants, the food quality and choice is superb. All staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about all aspects of the wildlife in Costa Rica and their culture. We had 6 excursions arranged by the hotel and the best, without exception, were with the Nayara guides. Back to the hotel to unwind in the pools or Thermal Springs or have a pampering in the Spa - every day memorable. Amazing value for the standard of accommodation provided.

    Not one thing!

    Everything. All the staff were amazing, the room was stunning and the bed comfortable. The restaurants were lovely and food delicious. Being able to see sloths from many parts of the property added to the experience. Special mention to Claudia & Isaac who both helped make our stay really special.
