Nayara Tented Camp

This hotel has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced, hands down. The property is stunning and the food was incredible, but the customer service was outstanding. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff was attentive and willing to go above and beyond. Special shoutout to Jess, our guest liaison, who made this trip so special for us, and to Issac who handled our transportation. We can’t wait to go back.

We loved Costa Rica and Nayara Tented camp was the cherry on the cake. The resort is beautiful, the suites are anmazing and luxurious and the without exception all staff were so friendly and attentive. Food, especially breakfast was awesome. Really can’t fault this place. We even saw a sloth right outside our property. It’s very expensive but worth it. TIP Don’t miss the free frog tour.

While the accommodations and grounds at Neyara are exceptional, the staff there made our experience phenomenal. They truly exhibited the spirit of the Costa Rican people and attention to detail and friendliness are unmatched. We are already booking our return trip.

This resort is top notch in every aspect. Service, food, rooms and grounds are all spectacular! Wildlife is abundant on the property and the views of the volcano are amazing. We enjoyed our 3 nights here throughly and it was worth every penny!

This place is AMAZING. The staff is VERY friendly and helpful. The food and accommodations are 5 star. Come here if you want a unique experience in a natural setting. So peaceful. JASON (cart driver) went out of his way on our last night. We asked him for some tips to locating tree frogs. He took us to a frog pond and got out his flash light. He spotted so many different kinds of frogs for us. He took his time and let us take pictures. He gave us some very interesting facts. He went above and beyond. He made our night! Thank you Jason! You will not be sorry if you stay here!

We only unfortunately booked one night but it was an amazing time and truly a 5 star experience Upon checkin you will receive welcome cocktails. The view from the lobby overlooks an infinity pool with views of the volcano which are stunning. I told the concierge upon booking my youngest son was obsessed with sloths so naturally our room was in the sloth tents. The room itself was spectacular. They drain and refill your own thermal pool after each guest. A totally free mini bar (minus wine) and an all you can eat complimentary breakfast delivered to your door or in resort. The outdoor shadow was heavenly and very serene. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The room overall was very spacious and designed keeping the ‘tent’ theme in mind. My family really enjoyed the serenity and beauty of all the thermal pools. Didn’t ever feel crowded. Upon leaving the bellhop picked us up to go see a sloth. They remembered we really wanted to see one. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the staff which made the whole experience even better. Next time we return we will stay our entire trip here.

My friend and I LOVED our stay at the Nayara Tents. We were here to celebrate her birthday and the property did not disappoint - spacious and beautiful rooms, amazing food (try the in-room breakfast), and impeccable service. In celebration of my friend’s birthday, the staff left champagne, balloons, and a hand written note in our room. Not to mention, at dinner she received a surprise happy birthday performance from the live musician that was playing at the Ayla restaurant that evening!! This property is definitely a splurge, however, as they say, you get what you pay for and this truly was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Costa Rica! You will not regret it!! Also, a special shout-out to Pamela and all the lovely staff! Everyone was so kind and accommodating. Thank you for making our stay a memorable one!

First off, the Grand Tent is not explained clearly on their website but is amazing. It features 3 larger rooms: 1) a king bed in a master bedroom with dual indoor and outdoor showers, a tub, and dual sinks. This room is spectacular. 2) Down a flight of stairs accessible from the outside is another large room set up with two large beds, a sizable rollup bed, and another full shower and bathroom. 3) The main house/entrance area includes another bathroom, a shower, and a closet. This area also has a kitchen with the basics you’d expect from an Airbnb—pans, pots, etc.—plus a couch, TV, and large table. Outside, there’s not just a plunge pool but a large hot spring and a fire pit area with plenty of seating. The outdoor space has four lounge chairs and two tables, providing plenty of room for 10 people to comfortably chill! In short, our family of five loved the Grand Tent. From our understanding, there are only two Grand Tents, and if you get the family tent, it’s essentially the Grand Tent plus another tent, expanding it from two bedrooms to three or four (not sure). The Grand Tent is perfect for a family of five and gave us everything we needed! The resort, Nayara, consists of three connected resorts forming one expansive area. The grounds are breathtaking, truly placing you in a rainforest. The service is impeccable, scoring 10/10. Considering the challenges of being in a rainforest, the level of service, labor, and resources available is impressive. The tented camp feels the newest and thus the most premium. It’s no shock that this is the #1 resort in Central America three years running… The food and beverages are overall very good, albeit slightly overpriced for well-traveled individuals, with entrées costing $30-40 and mixed drinks around $20. However, considering the remote location, the culinary achievements are remarkable. The fine dining experience was our best meal—service was a 10, and food was a solid 8. Achieving higher would need a Michelin star / James Beard Award-winning chef. We paid $700 total for wine pairings and a seven-course meal. The vibe was great with live music and outstanding service. You can also get into town in 5 minutes with plenty of food choices across a variety of budgets. OTHER THINGS TO KNOW: -We rented car in San Jose and did the drive, was same price as car service to pick us up and bring us back both ways, plus gave us the freedom to drive around town, see other areas in town without having to wait for taxi etc. -Flying into SJO, although it’s only 50 miles away, it will take about 2.5 hours to reach the resort. If you land at night, consider staying in San Jose and leaving in the morning. The road is winding and changes elevation frequently, making it easy to get car sick. -It also rains every day during the wet season, but the rain comes and goes mostly in afternoon, which can actually be refreshing after a busy, sweaty day. We enjoyed the rain cooling us off and the experience of being in the
