Nayara Springs - Adults Only

Just returned from an unbelievable stay at Nayara Springs. The villa was absolutely incredible, as well as the rest of the property. There are multiple restaurants, swimming pools, and other amenities. The staff is absolutely above fantastic on every level. It was extremely clean and comfortable, and the food was wonderful. Also, the property is very much walkable even though they have golf carts to transport you whenever you need them. We cannot wait to go again! Special shout out to our wonderful server Carlos at Mis Amores

Wow!! Absolutely amazing and stunningly beautiful property. Gorgeous villa and 5 star amenities. 5 star service and the food was exceptional. Twice daily maid service. The staff are very attentive and make you feel extremely welcome. It's a very hilly property so great exercise but there are golf carts if the walking is too much. The rainforest, flora and fauna are lush, exotic and amazing. No monkeys but we saw sloths. It was also very quiet in March(not many people) and there were an abundance of sun loungers so need to get there early to obtain one. The water in your private plunge pool is extremely hot as it's spring fed from the volcano but it can be cooled down by the cold tap which we had to leave running for a couple of hours for the water to be cool enough to get in. Pura Vida! We would love to go back one day.

I stayed one night at Nayara Springs (after one night at Tented Camp). The whole Nayara property is huge & would be hard to navigate on foot by myself, and very beautiful. The golf carts will take you anywhere. The staff was so warm and helpful across the board. My room (V07) was beautiful, clean, comfy, & fairly spacious. The patio & plunge pool were nice, & it was very private but I didn't have a volcano view (or any view). The room service menu at Springs wasn't as much to my taste as Tented Camp, though, & the room service breakfast was fine but not amazing. All 3 resorts share restaurants, pools, etc. beyond that. The food & drinks across my stay were mostly excellent. What's great is that even at Springs or Gardens, you still have access to all of the resort grounds, pools, restaurants, etc. and most activities. One tip, if you're going to move between the resorts at Nayara, I'd recommend doing Tented Camp last, so you're moving up and not down :) I enjoyed the coffee tasting class at Mi Cafecito, as well as my spa treatment (green coffee wrap with Erika). I didn't get to spend tons of time at the various pools but did pop by a few & found them beautiful & enjoyable...the Termas (hot springs) were small and private, tucked into the jungle. Cielito Lindo pool (adults only) was great, nice bar too. Each of the bars have different drinks, so it was fun to bar hop between them. Overall I can't speak highly enough about my stay here, except that I was too short!

Nayara Springs is one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. The staff were amazing, and the hotel itself absolutely perfect. The room was spotless, the outdoor natural hot spring pool incredible. There is also so much to do on the doorstep, with easy access to Arenal National Park, La Fortuna town, sloth trails, the volcano and lava fields and so much more. I can't stress enough how wonderful a stay we had. In addition there are so many options for food with everything from Costa Rican, to Tapas, to Italian and Asian. We stayed for 8 nights and had the most wonderful time.

I rated the "location" as less than excellent because the ONLY drawback was the 3 hour windy drive from Liberia airport. To get back we chartered a small plane which was absolutely worth it (20 min flight). We were celebrating a birthday at Nayara and the staff went out of their way to make every day special. They knew all of our names (six of us) and our favorite drinks and preferences as soon as we'd walk into any of the eating establishments. We hated to leave, but can't wait to go back for another stay.
