"We absolutely LOVED our stay at Nya. From driving up to the beautiful property, we were hooked. When we met our first staff member who checked us in, and the server who provided a welcome cava, along with all the other Nya faces, we knew this was going to be special. We were not wrong. From the beautiful beach and stunning trail along the water, the excellent food, abundant wildlife, and wonderful accommodations, Nya never disappointed. We only wish we had a longer stay!"

"Josue the property coordinator was excellent. The condo was very nice and stocked well. Lots of great amenities and great excursions at the Adventure park, he also helped with that. The Marina is overpriced, and go to the yellow super and the meat market next door they are great prices for grocery’s. The Mercado is also expensive . The property was gorgeous. Get golf carts - so much fun and don’t miss the monkeys down by the public beach."
