Unsurpassed views
The road to Nepenthe is very rough but the views of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal are unsurpassed. The Phoenix Restaurant is wonderful, with great service and great food. They would do well to supply the rooms with more kitchen amenities (paper towels or cloth napkins) and a hairdryer, and renovation should be in the near future. But the bed was very comfortable and it was a great jumping-off point for Arenal Volcano National Park, and the various hot springs and waterfalls at La Fortuna. We’d definitely come back!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay!!! Very friendly staff. Delicious breakfast!!! Onsite restaurant. Outdoor pool which was well kept. The ONLY downside was the road getting to and leaving the B&B. You have to drive carefully, a lot of potholes. With that being said, I would ABSOLUTELY stay at this lovely B&B again!!!

Would love to return
Wonderful experience! A perfect romantic getaway! The spacious room allowed us to spread out and feel at home. The pool and observation deck were just steps from our room. The on-site restaurant provided wonderful breakfasts, great pizza and meals to order. Be sure to get a 4x4 or drive slow up the mountain.
