Nayara Gardens

There’s no question as to why this incredible establishment was rated one of the top resorts in Central and South America by Travel + Leisure in 2015 and proclaimed by Condé Nast Traveler to be the “prize of the Arenal region.” Nayara is just as notable for its location in the heart of the lush Arenal Volcano National Park as it is for its luxurious accommodations and outstanding service, all leading to an authentic first-class Costa Rican experience. The hotel boasts three different restaurants: Amor Loco features Costa Rican food, while you can dine on international cuisine al fresco at Altamira or Asian Latin fusion at La Piscina.
