Paradise Found: Nayara Bocas del Toro

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

What an incredible place!!! A fantastic experience. 10/10!

Wonderful location for a quick get away in Panama. That said, staff booked us for events and excursions that weren’t available on booked dates, the shuttle boat that is required to get around sometimes forgot to get us, leaving us stranded for 60+ minutes, and it was our honeymoon, and not one mention of it. For the second most expensive hotel in Panama, was severely disappointed by the staff and concierge. Food service is fine, but repetitive. We ended up eating on the main island two nights during our stay. After the third issue, they did comp us a massage for the misbookings, but we collectively wasted / waited around for almost half a day during our stay. Spend your money and vacation somewhere it’s rewarded.

Nayara in Bocas Del Toro is a very special place and a totally unique experience. My wife and I have been blessed to have stayed in some of the finest resorts in the world; including some in Asia that were at the time the top rated resorts in the world and recently celebrated our 50th anniversary at Nayara. While the service and experience of those resorts are impeccable, Nayara takes the experience to another level. The over-the-water villa were designed, hand carved and constructed in Bali, and then disassembled and rebuilt on the arched shore of Nayara's private island where there is even a man-made beach with a bar and launch. The carefully manicured trails and gardens wind through lush surroundings I can only describe as exotic. With a staff to guest ratio greater than two to one and a maximum guest capacity of only 40, the service at Nayara is attentive yet discrete to say the least. As the wine steward would often say, "anything is possible." This mantra is reflected by everyone who works there. You will find the service at Nayara goes steps beyond attentiveness. I can only describe it as service from the heart with a deep desire to share the subtle Zen of Nayara and ensure that everything, from food to beverage and all accommodations are delivered to your individual desires. The attention to detail is beyond amazing. If you want it, the staff wants to provide it and conveys your requests as though they are privileged to deliver. The staff at Nayara provides guests with an aura of love. They show they truly love the unique environment that Nayara provides and they want to share every essence of that with their guests. Literally every person on staff performs every task not just with pride, but a deep love for their guests, and it shows. I strongly recommend opting to allow Nayara to arrange for VIP service through Panamanian customs for your arriving flight, as well as transportation and lodging arrangements for a couple nights in Casco Viejo (the old town of Panama City). They will gladly suggest and arrange for any tours you would like or you can do that on your own. I hope you find my thoughts helpful and that you choose to experience Nayara Bocas Del Toro.
