Nayara Gardens is a luxury boutique hotel and spa set against the panoramic backdrop of the Arenal Volcano, surrounded by Costa Rican Rainforest. Private bungalows have a private terrace with a plunge pool. The property is amazing, you truly feel in the rainforest. We saw sloths, motmots and other birds. Staff was really nice and food was really good as well. They have a lot of options for people with food allergies / intolerances and are constantly asking if someone needs alternatives or something to pay attention to. We definitely want to visit again!

Everything fantastic. Had a wonderful lunch at Saffron Indian Restaurant of lamb vindaloo. The food was to die for. The hotel is so centrally located to restaurants and art galleries. I highly recommend this place. Awesome value for the money.
