In looking for a place to go on vacation with the kids I really needed to find something that they would like and that I could be happy with as well. My daughters are kind of picky and always afraid they are going to be bored on a family vacation as usual.

I booked our stay at the Nayara Arenal Costa Rica Hotel without telling them where we were going. I just said pack a bathing suit and some summer clothes as well as dinner attire.

When we got off of the plane my daughters could not stop hugging me. After arriving at the hotel and they found out about all of the wonderful things they could do they started hugging me again.

Immediately they started planning horseback riding, windsurfing, whitewater rafting and a trip to the hot springs. They said that the Arenal Costa Rica Hotel Nayara was the best vacation that I had ever planned. I of course had the opportunity to go to the Winery and taste some of the finest wine around.

Our whole trip was filled with fun and laughter. It was so great seeing my girls smile and having the opportunity to spend some time with them. Their schedules do not usually allow for us to have family time very often.

Even though there were weddings going on and honeymoon couples around us, the Nayara Arenal Costa Rica Hotel turned out to be the best idea I had ever had. My girls kept asking me if we could go back again for another vacation because they had such a great time. They got to do things they wanted and I got to enjoy the hot springs. We all went to the spa together for some quality Mother and Daughter time and I could not have been happier.
