Kelly United States of America

amazing property and that you get access to Nayara Springs and Nayara Tented camps which are all joined together on one large property! the difference pools and hot springs are great. the food and entertainment are great. the casita is very nice and the outdoor shower and the hot tub on balcony are great. this is a very romantic place and great for anniversary or honeymoon!

Charles United States of America

I went to Nayara with my husband and three year old son. I have been to Costa Rica before so I knew how incredible it was, but Nayara took my love for Costa Rica to a whole other level. We were treated like royalty. If you can, STAY AT THE NEW TENTS! I prefer rainy season because I actually saw the volcano every morning. The restaurant at the tents is super yummy-especially for breakfast and lunch. Everyone on the staff went above and beyond for us. My son went and hugged everyone goodbye when we left. It was a week I will never forget.

Meghan United States of America

Incredible stay. Every detail in this property is well thought of and done perfectly. Staff is super well trained and extremely helpful and nice.
