Top Northern Plains Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place! I fell in love with the service, the attention to detail, and all the amazing activities. 🇨🇷❤️ For sure, I’ll be back with my family! Costa Rica is truly a blessed country. ✨🌴"

Nayara Gardens

Nayara Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"As a Costa Rican, I almost never vacation at hotels locally. Too often, the domestic hospitality scene feels pretty average—or frankly underwhelming—for what you end up paying, so my expectations were cautiously neutral. Nayara Gardens completely proved me wrong. From the second we pulled up, the service was on another level. The staff is warm, dialed-in, and remarkably professional without feeling stiff or scripted. The rooms are stunning, tucked right into the rainforest with total privacy and insane attention to detail. The food across every restaurant was genuinely phenomenal, the spa was pure bliss, and every tour we booked ran like clockwork with guides who actually knew their stuff. It’s rare to find a place that nails every single aspect of the guest experience, but Nayara pulled it off effortlessly. They set a whole new bar for luxury here, and we’re already planning our next stay."
