Nayara Tented Camp

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.

Loved every minute of our stay there. Lots to do around the area. We tried waterfall, hanging bridges, and the ATV tour. We werent able to do the zip lining and rafting but heard those were great activities. The hotel staff helped us with everything. This is truly a five star experience.
