We stayed at Nayara tented camp for our honeymoon and it was the most wonderful and unique experience. Our time at Nayara was so special and certainly something we will remember forever. We are already planning anniversary trips back. The staff were SO KIND, professional, and attentive. We felt so taken care of without feeling overwhelmed. The resort was so clean and just spectacular with the views and landscaping. It rained for 90% of our entire stay and it was still just the best. A few staff members were absolutely amazing - Brian and Daniel who drove us in golf carts, they took time to point out lots of wildlife for us. José and Andre at Henry’s bar made delicious drinks and were great to hangout with. The hotel manager, Carolina, was so kind and passionate, it was so special to get to sit and talk with her for an hour to hear about the behind the scenes and history. The live music entertainment at dinner (particularly Steven who played the violin) were some of the most talented musicians who matched the dinner vibes perfectly. Our drivers to and from the airport, Ignacio and Angel were wonderful, kind, knowledgeable and got us where we needed to be comfortably and safely. Levi was our private tour guide for the hanging bridges, he was so knowledgeable about all the wildlife and the area, and was just so fun to be with for the day! Finally, the housekeeping staff went above and beyond to keep our room looking so beautiful and clean throughout the stay. All of the food was delicious and especially the breakfasts!! Our only complaint would be that we wished we saw the volcano more - so if and when you see it, take it all it in and take lots of photos. Again, I can’t express this enough - this was the best hotel we’ve ever been to and we were so thankful we could spend our honeymoon here.

We didn’t know what the word paradise meant until we visited Nayara. It was our first time to Costa Rica and we came for our honeymoon. We were greeted with a welcome drink and the friendliest staff. The golf carts were a bonus taking us wherever we needed on the grounds just a phone call away. Waiting for a golf cart is up to 8 minute wait, but mostly around 4-5 minutes. The golf cart drivers are truly themselves, personable and happy to spot wildlife to show you. Our room was a dream with our own private thermal system pool surrounded by the lush rainforest. The tented camps are very private and secluded, giving you the perfect relaxation vibe. The restaurants were all 5 stars with our favorites being Nostalgia, Ayla and Amor Loco. Nostalgia is perfect for a date night and we highly recommend the wine pairing which was the highlight of our food and drink experience. Ayla surprised us being on of our favorites for breakfast and local food. Amor Loco gave jazz club vibes and served delicious Italian dishes. The wait staff was outstanding and gave great recommendations for food. The public thermal pools were also very private, with a variety of pool options. It was great having the Lapas bar connected to the cooler pool and the thermal pools all within a path away to hop between. At this time of year, a few of restaurants (fine dining, ice cream store) and the swim up pool (Cielito Lindo) were closed for reconstruction. They had some excellent icecream at other restaurants so we didn’t miss out there. The Sukha Spa was serene, relaxing and perfect to do with your partner. We did the Nayara Signature experience and we enjoyed it. I did feel as though my massage therapist rushed a little but my husband’s massage was thorough with great pressure. I recommend thinking about what you would like them to focus on body part wise before going in so you can tell them where you would like to be massaged. All the products smelled amazing and you’ll probably fall asleep during from being so relaxed. We highly recommend doing the bridges and La Fortuna waterfall tour. Our tour guide Hansel was so knowledgeable and had great photography skills. We got the best shots of the animals and if we didn’t have his guidance, we would have missed a lot of the wildlife. It is 500 step to get down to the waterfall, so wear your hiking boots and take your time. We were in awe of the waterfall and it was an extra treat to be able to swim in it. They do have areas to change prior to going down and showers so bringing a swim suit and a change of clothes after is no problem. Overall, we had the best experience and the people made it all the better with great hospitality. We cannot recommend this resort enough. We are already planning our next vacation to Nayara Tented Camps.
