"The Nayara was so beautiful, beautiful beyond words. When we entered our room we had rose petals on the bed with a sign saying Happy Anniversary. The grounds were immaculate. Carolina our housekeeper was truly amazing as well. Every day we came back to our room after an excursion, there was a different towel animal on our bed, and best of all our room smelled fesh and looked sparkling clean, she did a great job. "

"Wonderful!! Great staff! Johnny the bartender is awesome! The complimentary and lush breakfast spread was such a nice amenity! The rooms were well beyond our expectations! Gorgeous views! Dinner seemed a little over priced for the quality."

"This hotel was AMAZING! A complete honeymooner's dream. Romantic, luxurious, and beyond what we expected as far as service. We literally didn't want to leave! The staff there was so incredible. Helpful, accomodating, and did things that what I thought was above and beyond. Literally, the last night we were there, we came back from dinner and they had sprinkled rose petals from the doorway to the outside hot tub, where they had drawn us a bubble bath! This was so awesome! Not to mention we loved ALL the restaurants on the property and the wine bar! We can't say ENOUGH wonderful things about Nayara! "

"Oh my gosh, I can't say enough about how beautiful this hotel is. The bungalow had a wall of windows that looked out to the tropical vegetation and volcano. You could step out onto the deck and enjoy the views from the comfortable chairs, hammock, or take a spa bath. The bungalow was large and spacious with a TV, DVD player, table, chairs, deluxe king bed, hardwood floors, bamboo ceiling with log supports. Very tropical feel in your room. There was a indoor and an outdoor private shower. The hotel staff was friendly and nice. The pool had a bar built into it so you could order tropical drinks while in the pool. I would love to stay at this Hotel again. "

"Loved it, loved it loved it! Absolutely beautiful, the people were super friendly. We wished in the end that we'd spent our entire vacation there! When we arrived we were driven to our room in a golf cart.(Our trip was for our 25th anniversary and I guess Gema had let them know!) There were 2 towel swans on the bed with flower petals and a sign that said happy anniversary. We also got a chocolate cake for 2! The room was beautiful and clean with a wonderful view of Arenal Volcano. The most impressive though was when we were checking out, I was pulling my suitcase from the back of the property where our room was, up to the front and about 1/4 of the way there one of the grounds crew saw me. The put down his weedeater and insisted on taking it for me even after I assured him it wasn't too heavy for me. I thought that was so sweet! I could go on about the Nayara!"

"When we first arrived, a suite was not available with a king size bed. But we were moved the next day. We met the owner at dinner one night, very sweet! We also almost lost a pair of shoes on an excursion one day. The hotel located them, picked them up and laundered them! The hospitality here was like no other!!! "

"By far, the best hotel experience we've had traveling. Luxurious, wonderful service, fantastic! Thanks Delio for the extras you arranged. Great call by Delio getting us the upgraded suite (rather than change hotel) when our first choice expired due to our taking too long to confirm."
