We stayed here for 2 nights after having stayed in the Gaia Hotel and Reserve in Manuel Antonio for a week so our views were coloured by how fabulous the Gaia had been (a MUST stay hotel). The location, room and facilities within the room at the Nayara (jacuzzi and outdoor shower) were fabulous. We were on honeymoon and had... More

We would recommend Arenal Nayara to anyone wanting a romantic vacation spot. Arenal Nayara was wonderful. Our room was incredible. The outdoor shower was gorgeous, as was the hot tub. And how many times do you get to lie in bed, staring out into a lush garden and past that at a volcano? Incredible. Its fortuitous location aside, Arenal Nayara's... More

Spent four days at Nayara Arenal Hotel the first of November 09 (and had a rental car) and loved it. There are only 24 rooms so the staff is friendly and attentive. The rooms are gorgeous, each with a jacuzzi on the deck facing the volcano and each with an outdoor "garden shower". Grounds are great, internet in the lobby,... More

We were here on our honeymoon, and had some friends/family traveling with us. The hotel was beautiful and well thought out. Umbrellas, where and when you needed them, private casitas with a great layout. The beds and linen were very comfortable. Everyday we had new animal towel art on our bed. The room has a great view of the Volcano... More

The hotel has the greatest staff, most amazing view, and breath taking rooms. This hotel is something that anyone dreams about, but is not over priced! They help you relax and enjoy every second of your trip. This would be a great place for a honeymoon or a anniversary get away. Very romantic spot! The website really does a great... More

Gorgeous & Picturesque, beautiful grounds, intimate setting, Fabby Rooms, Amazing views. Just Beware: we had a rental car so no problem - otherwise this is set off the main road, with no where to walk. As long as you don't mind staying on the VERY small property (i was amazed it was so tiny) and "Ah~Hem" : speading significant time... More

My hubby and I stayed at Arenal Nayara for 4 nights in May. From the moment we drove up to the hotel we were treated with such hospitality. It was such a nice change due to the poor service at a previous hotel in Playa Coco. The hotel sits high off the road and has an excellent view of the... More

What a beautiful hotel. Most definitely the most beautiful grounds we've ever seen. We were here on our honeymoon; stayed for 4 nights and wished we could have stayed for 4 months. We bought the Aventura Arenal package which provided a great mixture of adventure and relaxation. Would recommend to anyone who wants to really feel as if they are... More

My husband and I went here for our honeymoon and it was great. We also stayed at Paradisus on the coast but liked this place much better. Paradisus was a huge all inclusive resort but this place just felt more like a romantic honeymoon spot. There are only 25 rooms so i feels more secluded and the staff is really... More
