Posted byBy Stan | Published on: | Updated on June 12, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

Costa Rica’s Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens has earned a coveted spot as one of the Top 100 Hotels in the Travel + Leisure 2012 World’s Best Awards readers’ survey, and wins the illustrious title as the No. 1 Resort in Central and South America.

Once a hidden gem, Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens is fast becoming a favorite with honeymooners and couples in search of romance and adrenaline boosting adventures at an affordable rate. With unrivaled service levels and devotion to one-of-a-kind vacations, Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens presents the best of what Costa Rica has to offer to visitors from around the world.

Located approximately two hours from the capital of San Jose, Nayara sits in seclusion just outside of the town of La Fortuna, in the foothills of the Arenal Volcano. Immersed within a lush tropical oasis, each of Nayara’s deluxe suites exude romance, with a king-size canopy bed, indoor and outdoor showers, an expansive veranda with Jacuzzi tub, and thoughtful extras like iPod dock, turndown service, fluffy robes and slippers for extra cachet.

Guests at Nayara will enjoy a variety of dining options, including the open-air Altamira Restaurant, serving authentic Costa Rican fare, the brand new Sushi Amor, offering a Latin American-Japanese fusion menu, a Latin American wine bar called Nostalgia and the Kali-Kali Pool Bar where guests sip on their favorite cocktails and nibble on snacks in and out of the pools and Jacuzzis. Also at guests’ disposal are two state-of-the-art dispensers supplying samples of premium wines and top-notch vodkas.

As the adrenaline capital of Costa Rica, Arenal invites thrill seekers to explore the rainforest with canopy walks to canyon crawls. Guests can take a floating safari on the Peas Blancas River to spot crocodiles, monkeys and sloths; speed through treetops on an adrenaline-boosting zip line Sky Trek; or spelunk their way through an underground labyrinth of stalactites and stalagmites in the Venado Caves. A visit to the local hot springs slows the pace as couples soak in the pools amid lush tropical gardens.

Rates at Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens range from $230 to $350 US per night and include a daily hot breakfast, welcome drinks, complimentary Internet access and long distance telephone calls to anywhere in the world.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
