"The views from the restaurant are stunning. We split our trip between the beach and volcano so we had a 4 night stay at Gaia for the beach and a 4 night stay at Nayara Springs. Check in at the hotel was easy. You park or get dropped off at the security area (also where the gym is) and then a golf cart takes you up to the main building where the reception area is and the restaurant. The spa is downstairs and the reception/restaurant are upstairs. Unfortunately the Sky Lounge was closed during our stay. We received a refreshing non-alcoholic welcome drink. Everything about our stay was explained to us. We booked the Suite. Our room was large and nice but the description said ocean view and there was definitely not an ocean view so that was a bit of a disappointment. If you like seclusion and very little interaction with others, you would probably love this hotel. There was not a common area to have a drink and watch the World Cup. The grounds are large but mostly jungle and the hotel seems very small. The pools were also pretty small, we usually swim in pools and decided to swim at the beach instead. I didn’t see anyone in the pools during our stay. There is a swim up bar. The beach is not in walking distance. For the beach, you have to let your concierge know. Beach shuttles leave on the hour and return 15 minutes after the hour. The beach was wonderful and clean. Warm water and great waves. It’s $10 for chairs for the day. The concierge was very helpful throughout our stay."
