Luxury I didn’t know could exist .
I just returned from the most unforgettable stay at Nayara, and I’m still floating on cloud nine. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such genuine care that it felt like stepping into another world—one I didn’t even know could exist. Our romantic dinner for two was pure magic: beautifully prepared dishes, candlelight, and a setting that felt straight out of a dream. The cooking class and wine pairing were just as incredible—fun, delicious, and so thoughtfully guided that we left feeling like gourmet chefs. But the experience that truly transformed the trip was the wellness side of it all. The yoga class was serene and grounding in a way I’ve never experienced before, and the deep tissue massage was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. I walked out feeling renewed in body and soul. Nayara didn’t just give us a vacation; it gave us a feeling—of being cared for, inspired, and completely at peace. I can’t wait to return.

Literally the best resort ever created
I've been to many 5 star hotels and resorts and none of them even come close to Nayara Tented resort. What really differentiates them from all others is the staff. I felt like they were family and was sorry to leave. They go above and beyond for everything !! Their pura vida energy and attitude is unreal. The resort itself is one of a kind. A truly magical place down to every detail. If you like service and exquisite rooms and surroundings and a variety of gourmet food choices then this is the place for you. In particular a shout out to Carolina who is the manager extraordinary!

Tropical Oasis with the Kindest People
My husband and I visited Nayara Tented Camp for our first time to Costa Rica. We were blown away by the service and amenities, which were unlike any we had experienced before. Nayara is a beautiful resort - it is clear that they put intentional care into the grounds and facilities. The rooms are beautiful, spotlessly clean, and the views of Volcán Arenal are stunning. The complimentary yoga every morning and wildlife on the resort are so unique! Nayara also curates a number of well-planned excursions - Our guides, Levi and Jeremy, were both so knowledgeable about the wildlife and we learned much more about the Costa Rican culture than we would have doing tours on our own. While we had a number of amazing views and experiences, the people are what I loved the most. Nelson, Christian, and Celeste at the concierge are so sweet and knowledgeable. Any time we had questions they jumped into action. Pablo, Byron, Joseph, and Claudia at Ayla were amazing hosts/hostesses. They made thoughtful recommendations and great conversation! Ayla and its staff were 10/10 but our favorite spot on resort was Henry’s Bar. José is an expert mixologist and great person. We came back every night, not just for his delicious drinks, but mostly for the good company, stories, and many many laughs. We also did his Mixology Class and learned a few recipes to bring back to our home bar. Josue, Yarling, Everson, and Andrey were all fantastic. We had many laughs with this crew and their conversation made our trip one to remember. We can’t wait to come back to see them! I recommend the coffee tour at Don Juan followed by the coffee roasting class with Arianna. She was knowledgeable, so sweet, and a great instructor! I also highly recommend the cooking class at La Terrazza. Nayara does not have a ton of traditional Costa Rican dishes on their menus so this experience gave me what I was hoping for. Joshua and the chefs there were great to spend time with. We have already made the recipes they taught us at home! Thanks to all we met at the resort, they truly made it the most memorable and are the reason we want to return. ¡Pura Vida!
