Nayara Gardens is a gorgeous luxury property. Our rainforest pool villa was even better than expected & I had sky high expectations. The grounds are amazing! Lush flora and fauna ♥️. We saw Sloths and many beautiful birds that you don’t see in the US. The varied dining options, the eager to please staff and various activities made this an unforgettable vacation. I would definitely go back and stay at this resort again & highly recommend it. The thermal spas were a beautiful place to relax. I cannot say enough good things about this property. Again, the rainforest villas with that thermal private infinity pool, outdoor and indoor showers & roomy layout are simply stunning.
