If nothing else were good about this Hotel, the spectacular views and scenery would make it exceptional. Fortunately, there is lots good about it. The pools are Warm Water Thermal Pools fed from natural springs. The poolside restaurant is very accomodating, convienient, and refreshing after a long day sightseeing. With all there is to do here, you almost don't care... More

Thanks in advance to everyone who writes these things because this is what caused me to pick Nayara. The reviews on here are pretty thorough and accurate, although we did laugh a bit about some of the reviews where someone was complaining that the pool wasn't big enough. There are some people who just aren't happy with anything. It was... More

My husband and I stayed at Arenal Nayara for the first leg of our 6 day honeymoon in Costa Rica. We only spent two nights there, but were extremely sad to leave. We stayed in the Nayara suite and were blown away! The amenities of the room itself were more than we could ask for and all of the staff... More

This review is long overdue, but I still remember every detail like I was just there. I went with my (then) boyfriend and his parents on a 10 day trip to Costa Rica during the rainy/green season, and we spent the first half of our trip at Nayara. This place is gorgeous, and we preferred it over the other hotel... More

I have traveled a lot and stayed in many hotels, and this is by far my favorite room ever. Outside jacuzzi, large bathroom, outside shower, large living room, comfortable bed. It had it all. The only thing that I was not happy about was that the internet service in the room did not work. They have laptops in the lobby... More

We loved our stay at Nayara. Our check in process went very smooth and we met an employee of the hotel named Lindsey. She was extremely helpful and patient with all of our questions. We bounced our travel ideas off of her and she was able to help fine tune our stay and make our excursions more enjoyable. The rooms... More

My wife and I just got back last night from a 6 night stay at the hotel and we loved the place. It was the best room we ever stayed in. We had Room 35. The price is high but the room was worth it. Be aware that the walk to the room is up a steep paved walkway but... More

This hotel is by far, one of the best we have stayed at, and we are picky! We have stayed at Waldorfs, Four Seasons, All inclusives...and yes those had top notch service, but the Nayara feels very Genuine. The rooms are gorgeous, the food is great! The second time we took our daughter. Yes this place is best for couples,... More

NAYARA = Magical, Breathtaking, Welcoming, Soulful, Perfection, Romantic, Elegant, Relaxing and Exciting at the same time. These are just some of the words that come to mind when describing this “Wonderful Place” To all the friendly and accommodating staff we came across during our visit (some we still remember by name) Yosue, Yendry, Lindsay, Esteban, Abel, Johnny, Juan Carlos, Jonathan,...

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon in Costa Rica. We stayed at Nayara 4 nights on the tail end of our trip. DEFINITELY the best decision we made. First of all, after a 5 1/2 drive up the coast from Jaco, we were immediately greeted by a staff member who led us into the lobby and... More
