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"
