Costa Rica Expeditions booked our family of seven (grandparents, parents, and 3 kids ages 9, 11 & 14) at this hotel. What an absolutely gorgeous hotel and grounds. Our individual bungalows were beautifully decorated and maintained. Shortly after our arrival, just off of our deck was a sloth, lounging in the tree. The Arenal area is so very lush with... More

If you're looking for luxury in La Fortuna, this is the place to be! The grounds are amazing, the staff is amazing, the rooms are amazing and the food was delicious too. They took the time to take care of all the small details, adding things you wouldn't even think of. They have a wine bar where you can taste... More

My husband and I came to Nayara for our honeymoon and immediately feel in love with the place. The staff is fantastic (the nicest people on the planet), the hotel is gorgeous, the food is amazing, and the excursions are fantastic and appriopriately priced. We took the "Hanging Bridge Tour" our second day there and had the most knowledgable guide.... More

A truly lovely, tropical setting with incredible views of Arenal Volanco. The room was very romantic with an outdoor shower complete with tropical foliage, an indoor shower big enough for two, a lovely deck with a jacuzzi for two and a view of the volanco. The restaurant was very good and the staff excellent. I think this is a perfect... More

This is a great place to stay and relax in luxury after the ardours of jungle lodges. The staff were very welcoming at reception and the room was excellent: very large with a big bathroom and an outside shower. The view of the volcano from the balcony was superb and the balcony jacuzzi made it even better. Try to avoid... More

Arenal Nayara was the first hotel of four we stayed at and it spoiled us for all the rest. Our casita was gorgeous with a porch looking right at the volcano (if it had been clear weather), and the hot tub was a wonderful addition - worked great and was very relaxing to feel so secluded and right in the...

Nayara is a fantastic hotel with really good food (complimentary hot/cold breakfast was excellent and the lunches & dinners we had were also good). We had our own casita, with king bed, private porch with jacuzzi, indoor and outdoor showers, huge bathroom & closet area, fridge/coffee service). You could do all the relevant arenal-area activities very easily from Nayara and... More

My husband and I stayed at The Nayara for our second anniversary. We were attracted to The Nayara because it is secluded and only has 22 rooms. We stayed in a Casita suite that overlooked Arenal, with a Jacuzzi on the deck, and an outdoor shower that was located behind the bathroom. Unfortunately, when we went to use the Jacuzzi... More

I wasn't sure what to expect with this hotel, as it hasn't been open very long and many hotels in this area look similar. After a long drive from San Jose this hotel was an awesome surprise! Beautiful views of Arenal volcano from the restaurant, pool, and room. The food was amazing, as was the restaurant staff. The rooms are... More
