We stayed there for three nights early May for our Honeymoon in CR. This Arenal hotel is by far the best we've seen! Rooms were clean (with room service twice a day) and quiet at night. The view of the volcano was great. The included breakfest was generous and tasteful! We used a green season package, so dinner was also... More

Nayara has terrific accommodations. Privacy abounds. Comfort. Great amenities and service. Felt safe for a solo traveler. Sheets and towels so white they glowed. I especially enjoyed the option of the "outdoor" shower. The one area that was deficient was food options. Quality and options for food needs improvement.

Dear valued guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Nayara. I was disheartened to learn that our food options did not meet your expectations when you stayed at Nayara in September of last year. I want you and other readers to know that in January of this year, we introduced completely new menus at our... More

Nayara was gorgeous, friendly and accommodating beyond belief. It was probably the best hotel experience we have ever had! The attention to detail was one of the things that did it for us. They refreshing towel and REAL fruit juice on arrival was great. The towel animals, the toilet paper that smells like baby powder, the great toiletries, the romantic... More

Nayara completely exceeded our expectations for our honeymoon. The staff felt more like family and friends by the end of our 7 day stay. Casita #48 had a perfect view of the volcano (but still had wifi!). The room itself was stunning, with full amenities, and still so peaceful. It was like luxury in a tree house! We had the... More

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days on our honeymoon. It was amazing!!! The service was outstanding, the staff were beyond friendly and accommidating, the food was great, the view was spectacular, and the facilty was breathtaking. The website and photos do not do it justice. We highly, highly recommend it to anyone considering staying there!

Nayara hotel is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The people are super friendly and hospitable. We stayed 3 days at the Nayara suite and it was beautiful. With a hammock and hot tub. The staff payed attention to the little details that at the end make all the difference. We will definitely be coming back.... More

From start to finish, The Nayara knows customer service. Greeted warmly by Sharon and Jose after a 2 1/2 hour air-conditioned van ($ by the resort), we were checked in quickly and efficiently by Jeini and taken by golf cart to our Deluxe Suite. I had arranged, via email, to have our couples massage that night, followed by a romantic... More

One of the most enjoyable stays I've had at any hotel on the planet. It's not the cheapest, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The lodge we had was pretty much perfect. All the facilities were great, exactly what you would expect. The food was excellent, breakfast in particular. The spa was great, though... More

The hotel, its spa and the surrounding gardens are spectacularly beautiful. The food in the restaurant was superb. Too bad I didn't have enough time to "chill out" in the Wine Bar.
