    The selection of food wasn’t great in the onsite restaurants for evening time (breakfast was delicious) so we decided to eat out most nights.

    The nature surrounds and location close to many your opportunities such as lava fields, caves, waterfalls, zip lining to name but a few.

    DREAMY COASTA RICAN STAY… STILL DREAMING ABOUT IT!

    We stayed in one of the larger, but older garden rooms and our kids got the newer rooms with the jaw dropping views of La Fortuna (make sure you request the newer rooms with the view and plunge pool. The older room was still very nice and clean, but I did not like all of the lush rainforest surrounding our plunge pool and could not relax for fear of a snake plunging in with us… just me but the view of La Fortuna was so much better in the other room and the vegetation was less around the pool. Also, I would recommend non ceramic shampoo/conditioner/soap dispensers in the showers… they are so dangerous (because you have to pick them up or they slip) and they are easily broken causing a danger for feet. They are beautiful, but not safe or practical in the showers.

    ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! By far the best place we stayed in Costa Rica and wish we would have been able to stay more nights… we will be back! If there were a rating higher than 5 stars this place deserves every single one! The attention to detail and their guests needs is unparalleled. We’ve stayed in luxury hotels, resorts and safari lodges all over the world and this one takes the prize!! From the La Fortuna views to the variety and execution of the food to the wildlife and nature that sounds and makes each village seem exceptionally private and peaceful this place has exceeded any expectations we had of it being one of the best in the world! So much to do. Spa was AMAZING!! We saw our only sloths in CR at the resort… several of them and even a baby… not to mention the most wildlife of anywhere we stayed. One night was not enough, but it’s all we could get for our large group and we are SO glad we stayed! We will be back for longer!!

    I would have liked more walking trails accessible from the property if they are looking to improve.

    Everything. The most amazing place I’ve ever been. Excellent food, tons of animals on property (saw baby sloth from five feet away!), the staff would give us impromptu Spanish lessons… swim up bar in the springs had amazing bar tenders, special treats upon check in, turn down service, at the Italian place. I wanted to go back as soon as I left. 😂

    Made a reservation at Ayla and when we got there manager said he could not find it .. hostess said someone deleted it.. i know probably manager deleted it so he could accommodate one of his customers from tented camp.. once i asked if Leo the owner was there they sat us..manager jeffrey when to all his rich customers to check everything never came to our table.. food was not great for a fancy place.. best food was at the italian place Mis Amores and breakfast in la terraza is awesome.. so i will take a star off only because of jeffrey the manager at Aylas.

    Beautiful grounds and nice pools.. awesome views
