Hotel El Silencio del Campo

10/10 Excellent
"El Silencio, was outstanding. The staff was great, (counter check in staff could use some work) but the restaurant, bar, outside staff were all excellent. The hot springs exceptional. The resident sloth we enjoyed along with the mini horses, basically the working farm. We did have to get used to the food (not culture wise we are Hispanic) what was offered and how it was offered. after ordering a couple time we figured it out and all was delicious. The location was just out of Fortuna just enough. a few notes. Each hotel offers a “card” for a towel , if you lose the card or lose the towel you are charged $20, losing the card… $20 seriously, this must be a Costa Rica thing as it was the same in a resort we stayed in Jaco. We did not take it and used our own towels, that’s something to be aware of. The farm/small ranch, we did not know El silencio is a working small farm/ranch mini horses, pig, chickens, pheasant. in the mornings the mini horses are let out to graze along with the pig and chickens. ALL this is great EXCEPT, you all know what chickens/roostes do at 4,5&6 am, they CROW LOUDLY. Even with the crowing roosters, we would definitely stay at El Silencio again. Have we could have stayed more nights we would have, we booked in Jaco on a split vacation."

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."
