The property is immaculate and clean! Each accommodation is well designed to give you privacy and a feel of luxury. The thing that really stands out is the service. - staff is so polite and welcoming, just makes your day start right. The welcome drink, the scrumptious breakfast, the special attention at dinners - get you in the right mood for rte vacation. Our only sour experience was that our unit’s water pipe had burst and we did not get water in the unit. That was a bummer as we wanted to freshen up after a long day of journey. They said that it would be fixed in an hour, which it wasn’t and after we raised the concern, we were given another room. And they picked up our dinner tab. Again - the staff was very courteous about it, we appreciated the gesture a lot. But nevertheless did not like the fact that we had to pack/unpack twice; and that they did not keep us informed/get the issue corrected by when they said they would. Regardless I would definitely give another chance and stay at the property as it was so well planned. The golf carts, thermal pools, luxurious ambiance, food options were excellent. Above it all was the hospitality and friendliness of the staff!

Sept/Oct was an amazing time to go in my opinion. Slower and less crowded, and the weather made the Termas even better. A light rain and fog while in the thermal baths in the middle of the rain forest. Everything was better than we could have hoped for and expected. The property, and staff/service is next level, and we were really impressed! It was surprising to learn that Nayara Gardens guests can use Nayara Springs amenities too! The Casitas in Nayara Gardens were perfect, and the staff split the king bed into two beds for me and my friend! Amazing place, and we will be back!!

This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms are truly amazing and so private. We stayed here for our honeymoon and the hotel gifted us a bottle of sparkling wine and little desserts. The turndown service was really nice and dry cleaning was fast and had great pricing compared to other hotels we stayed at. I can’t say enough about the staff, we arrived early for check in but staff brought us complimentary drinks and one staff William gave us an amazing tour of the property which was needed because it is enormous. So impressive with bridges and wildlife and lush tropical forest everywhere. We loved the orchids along all the paths in the resort. William also showed us the frog pond in the evening which we loved. He had amazing suggestions and helped throughout our entire stay. We did the complimentary yoga and loved the fresh cold coconut water provided afterwards. I was blown away with everything what was included and every little detail. We saw several sloths, howler monkeys and six different species of frogs on the property. We did not want to leave the resort and ate at Ayla the Mediterranean restaurant which was good and the Italian restaurant which we loved. Great vegan options at all the dining options. I can’t say enough good things and look forward to returning!!
