to get started.

The grounds were phenomenal. Issach on the golf cart was so nice

Everything. One of the best places I have stayed at.

Milos, Switzerland

From the moment we arrived till the very end of our stay, Nayara Hotel exceeded our expectations. Hotel guest experience is their priority, and every staff member goes above and beyond in making their guest experience the best possible. Our golf cart driver, Jason, was awesome! He drove us around the property to give us an orientation. He even stopped from location to location to show us creatures and animals that live within the property! Just an incredible experience. The room was extraordinary, with an outdoor shower that allows you to immerse yourself inside the rainforest. The breakfast was great too! Very fresh and lots of options. You can't go wrong booking with Nayara Hotel! Thank you to every staff member for making our experience there so memorable!

Karen, United States of America

Staff is amazing, and the property has everything. Its just the perfect place to be in touch with nature in a luxury and comfort place. Every detail in the rooms and all the restaurants are incredible. We went to celebrate a bday and they everybody knew about it and make it just the best weekend. The best hotel in La Fortuna. I’ll definitely be back!

Everything was perfect, from the structures of the buildings to the atmosphere in the restaurants, from the beauty of the nature surrounding the hotel to the spectacular rooms and view. Last but not least: the staff! Wendy our housekeeper, Ana Karina, Priscilla and Karina at the front of the house, William in Altamira, Norlan in Amor Loco, Maudy and Eileen at the spa and the nature guides Andrey and Edson all deserve a shout out!!!!! Everyone has been so warm and friendly and I apologize if I forgot to mention more names, I can not remember all of them!

If I had to be extremely picky, it is actually something not to do with the resort but that they might advertise when you book. If you fly into Fortuna airport there is an additional US$7 fee per person each way charged by the airport but Not included in your ticket. It would be of benefit if the Nayara website warned you of this.

I loved everything, but maybe just a recommendation to perhaps spruce up the lobby area and make it more inviting
This resort far exceeded my expectations...the property itself is fantastic and the staff were so accommodating and friendly!! The restaurants served delicious food and the breakfast buffet offered every morning was amazing...excellent coffee as well -an added bonus was the live music at dinner. I think that it is great that even during low season, the hotel can still maintain a top level of service. I can't wait to return to this property! I was very impressed.
