Nayara Springs Resort is an adult only boutique resort and is part of the Relais and Chateaux group of hotels and resorts. There is a family resort next door called Nayara Resort, Spa, and Gardens. At the Nayara Springs Resort, each of the rooms are private, luxurious villas. Villas that are located in Nayara Springs are separated from the main resort by a 70-acre wooden bridge surrounded by hanging-moss-filled branches and fragrant flowers. Will say more about that later. 

The front desk area is a building with a beautiful sitting area downstairs and a coffee/ice cream/bakery upstairs called Cafecito.

First, we are introduced to the resort along with delicious adult beverages in a couch near the front desk. You don’t really check in at the front desk. They sit down with you, check you in and let you know everything about the hotel. Of course, you don’t really comprehend everything that is available. The hotel staff were all wonderful, everyone no matter where they worked made you feel welcome and valued. They can do magic. If you thought about it, they can find a way to get it for you.

The staff picks you up in golf carts to take you to your beautiful villa. Since you are on a mountain, there is a lot of shuttling to restaurants or spa or anywhere on the property. The mountain that the resort sits on is beautifully landscaped but requires a lot of uphill and downhill walking unless you call the shuttle. They come almost immediately.

The villas are 1500 square feet of beauty. They are completely private and surrounded by jungle foliage. Depending on the villa, the view of the Arenal volcano can be seen. It is a beautiful site but is cloud covered much of the time but when the clouds lift, the volcano is a magnificent sight. Each villa has a plunge pool that is heated from the volcano (or so the story goes). There is a lovely deck with a day bed, a dining table and chairs, as well as a hammock.

Basically, there is no reason to leave the room. The bathroom is to die for. There is the gigantic glass enclosed shower (read that sexy) and then there is another shower because one isn’t enough. This one is an outdoor shower that is sexy as well. The bathroom is complete with his and hers vanities and large enough closets that you could move it forever.

The bedroom part of the room is gorgeous. The wood used throughout the rooms are stunning and the view is of the outside area and volcano if you are lucky.

The gym, and yoga rooms are perched on a cliff over the rainforest as is the luxurious spa that is simply amazing and almost indescribable. The spa is just gorgeous. The spa service rooms are very private but open to the gardens. It is a visual as well as a wonderful spa experience.
