Nayara Gardes, eins der schönsten Hotels auf der Welt!
Pros:

Wir waren im Dezember 2025 für drei Nächte im Nayara Gardens!
Es war das allerschönste 5 Sterne Hotel, in welchem wir jemals übernachtet haben! ❤️
Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und liest quasi jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab! Das haben wir zuvor noch nie erlebt!
Während des Aufenthaltes hatte meine Frau Geburtstag, und das Hotel hat ihr einen unvergesslichen Tag gezaubert! Im Restaurant war der Tisch mit Rosenblättern gedeckt, es gab einen Geburtstags-Kuchen und es wurde für sie gesungen!
Das Hotelzimmer war so wunderschön dekoriert inklusive einer Flasche Sektflasche!
Der Service sucht wirklich seinesgleichen!
Herzlichen Dank an das gesamte Team!
Wir würden eigentlich mehr als 10 Punkte vergeben!
Das Hotel hat natürlich seinen Preis, dafür ist der Aufenthalt einmalig! Once in a lifetime!
Wir würden sofort wiederkommen!

יוצא מן הכלל
Pros:

במילה אחת… וואו
המלון הכי טוב בקוסטה ריקה. אסור לפספס.
זה מתחיל מהכניסה
הצוות הנהדר, במיוחד יסמין שדאגה לחווית שירות אישית., שירותי הרכב , המשקה המרענן בכניסה
בכלל כל המקום מיוחד וארוחת הבוקר הנהדרת והמגוונת והכי טובה בקוסטה ריקה. למלון יש גם בריכות חמות אמנם לא כמו בטאבקון אבל הם בסדר. אנחנו שהינו בחדר עם בריכה מחוממת שהיה מהמם ומיוחד. וגם שירד גשם היה לחדר יתרון כי יכלנו להכנס לבריכה מבלי שירד עלינו גשם וככה יכלנו להעביר את הזמן. בקיצור אם אחזור בעתיד ללה פורטונה זה למלון הזה ללא ספק.

Cons:

אין דבר כזה .
