It is not bad, such as the room is large, the restaurant is delicious, and the location is convenient. Mini bar is free. Disadvantages: The hotel is very big and it is all up and down, it is really tired. The swimming pool is super crowded and the atmosphere is not too casual. And this hotel has no hot springs, I want to go to a special hotel to wash hot springs.

 Generally speaking, it is a price for one point, so there is nothing to spit in such a high price. Its scenery, service, all hardware and software are worthy of its price. If you do not consider economic factors, this hotel must be the first choice. You must not be disappointed.

Incredible. Great place and helpful staff!

We had a fantastic 9 night stay at Nayara tented camp. The suite itself is STUNNING and great value with stellar views of the Arenal mountain and thermal pool in your very own private pool! Can't get better than this. Food at the restaurants is delicious! Chicken curry and rice from room service was our favorite! Breakfast is great, they spoil you with the selection of fruits and juices etc. Asian restaurant service, comfy vibe and food was very good. Spa services were ExCELLENT and well priced. Highly recommend Yaduri and Pamela for the thai massage as well as the Nayara Package for 2. The Spa Manager, I believe her name is Arlene, was very sweet and hospital, and caring. A few shoutouts: Jairo the Manager - phenomenal customer service. Thank you. You had a HUGE hand in transforming our stay when we brought a few matters to your attention the first day. Your entire team helped with this, so thank you all. All the shuttle staff were excellent - I dont know all their names. Reception - Carlos and Michael were the ones who came down to chat with us most, so didnt have a chance to meet the others. Michael sent me a guava plate with salt and spices when we told him that it was our fave. Bartender at the hot springs (roberto or rodrigo, cant recall his name) was outstanding in his service. Had great conversations with Roberto the golf cart driver as well as John Carlo I believe was his name? All cart drivers exhibit such immense gratitude for their jobs and joy to be working here - it was very evident they are all very happy with management. Hospitality here is beyond measure. The staff genuinely care about you and your stay. Suggestion to owners to include a gentle door bell as the 3 knocks + screaming out your name outside your door is *extremely* chaotic for those who are in a bubble of peace inside the villa :) Another suggestion is for cart drivers to use that doorbell (outside villa) and wait for us there. They have been trained to come knock, shout your name, and then WAIT OUTSIDE your door until you come out and then follow you to the cart. That's a bit too much in our space, its better if they can wait outside for 2-3 minutes until we get to the cart. Also, to have more privacy in villas by filling up the GAPS with planters. We can easily see parts of the pool of other villas, and they can see into ours so we would love some privacy next time. WILL BE BACK. CANT WAIT TO BE BACK. THANK YOU ALL.

Tabacon was the highlight of our Costa Rica trip. The hot springs were gorgeous, the landscaping presine, the staff incredibly well-trained, and the rooms spotless. Where else can you sit in a pristine 100 degree waterfall? We ended up changing our busy itinerary and spent about 3x more time at Tabacon that we planned. We joke that when we go back we'll just spend the whole week at Tabacon. Breakfast was great although it was quite busy in the morning and there was a line for their made-to-order omelets. Other than that it was a perfect stay at Tabacon.

Good stopover hotel. It is larger than expected. Great surroundings.

The facilities are lacking maintenance, little staff to attend the pool bar, take a lot of time to attend it, breakfast is good, to enter the river the stones are very rough
