The Restaurant at Nayara Gardens

"Spirited resident parrot, Guadalupe, earns a special mention, as does "beyond incredible service," Latin- and Japanese-inflected cuisine at Sushi Amor restaurant, and other "delicious food--especially breakfasts, with made-to-order huevos rancheros"

"The resort's four restaurants offer tapas, international, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisine, so you never have to leave the comforts of the grounds"

"Ceviche is a specialty at both the signature restaurant, Altamira, and the more casual Asia Luna"

"The restaurant, Altamira, sticks mostly to the Costa Rican basics — as it should, set as it is under a huge thatched palapa roof with stone patios around it"

"A personal host can assist with restaurant and spa reservations, excursion bookings and other special requests"

"The service is seamless (expect to be handed a water bottle just a moment before you get thirsty) and the Altamira restaurant and sushi bar offer some of the finest dining in the area"
