My son kicked his legs excitedly, the eight-month-old equivalent of a standing ovation.
(Hes still working on clapping, or he would have surely applauded.)
The goal is to make guests happy, without nickel-and-diming them, simply by being kind and adaptable.

Marlon changed course and we paddled our long, skinny canoe to the shore of beneath Niri.
Just a regular (near perfect) day at Nekajui.

The room design is very tasteful and, notably, prioritizes sustainability.
All of the restaurants have different menus for lunch and dinner.
(It’s basically a personalized buffet that comes to your table.)
My favorite restaurant was Niri, which Elizaga calls simply fun and delicious.
The gazpacho was a big hit for Rai.
What stuck out to me was every part of the spa experience comes with wild views.
Family-friendly Offerings
My son and I toured the indoor-outdoor kids club, called Camp Nekajui.
The outdoor part is a beautiful playground with an iguana-shapred slide.
My top recommendation for families is a stay in the family tree house suite.
Theyre also teaching farmers in the area to grow crops the resort needs.
I wouldnt recommend the resort for those with accessibility challenges.
At Nekajui, youre about a three-hour drive from Monteverde Cloud Forests.
Nightly rates atNekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, start from $2,390.
