What guests think
At Hotel Nepenthe B&B, travellers highlight stunning Lake Arenal and volcano views and a quiet, nature-immersed setting, while repeatedly warning that the steep, unpaved access road is very rough and best tackled with a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle.
Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and the on-site Phoenix restaurant, especially for breakfast. Rooms range from spacious casitas to smaller units, but several mention dated decor, basic kitchens, occasional insects, and no air conditioning, which can make nights uncomfortably warm. The pool is well liked, massages are available, and the hot tub is by reservation, though one review found it unavailable. Expect a nature-focused, low-key retreat with welcoming service and rustic comforts.

Location
Secluded hillside setting with sweeping views of Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano, abundant birds, and a generally quiet atmosphere. The access road is very rough and steep (4x4 recommended), and it is about 25 minutes from La Fortuna with easy access to Arenal NP/Observatory.
