Nayara Hotel Spa & Gardens 

Nayara Hotel Spa & Gardens is a 5-star luxury boutique hotel situated in the heart of the Arenal tropical rainforest. Awarded the #2 Hotel in the World by TripAdvisor in 2015, it is considered by many in the area to be the crème de la crème Arenal resort experience.

The grounds and facilities at Nayara Hotel are as lavish and elegantly appointed as one would expect from a 5-star resort. Nayara’s primary allure, however, is its unparalleled guest accommodations. All are air-conditioned, with private hot water bathrooms. Each guest room is in its own private bungalow or casita. The casitas are exceptionally spacious, tranquil and secluded, separated one from the other by lush tropical foliage. Each casita has distinctive, modern and luxurious furnishings and features a separate living area, an outdoor garden shower, an indoor rain shower, and a volcano-facing balcony outfitted with a hammock and Jacuzzi for two. The smallest casita is 856 square feet, and the largest, which includes a private mineral springs plunge pool, is 1500 square feet.

Though most hotel guests understandably prefer to spend most of their time in their casita, the resort amenities at Nayara are also world class. Nayara guests enjoy a fine restaurant, pool with swim-up bar, 3 outdoor Jacuzzis and a full-service spa.
