I really enjoyed my stay here. I will definitely come back again if I was around. Wendy and her husband are so kind and helped me out a couple of time. Had some good conversations. The extra plus was with Mikey for the hiking around the area (ask Wendy for the experience). I had the possibility to plant a tree for a good cause. Excellent place and experience. My 'coup de coeur' so far in Costa Rica ✌️

Idyllic position. Simple but delightful rooms with the most amazing incredible views of Arenal ( lake & volcano) . Delicious coffee, breakfast and supper. stayed for 3 nights which was just enough ( 2 would have been too short as so much to do in the area) .

What a fantastic and beautiful place. So peaceful. Out in nature. I had the tent which was great with a comfy double bed, lockable wardrobe, and balcony. These tents aren't your normal camping experience. There is a small spa on site which was very relaxing. The area is on a eco farm which they are slowly increasing in size. The food was good all locally grown (much of it by themselves) vegetarian and organic. The staff were super friendly and helpful. When the clouds cleared what a stunning view of Arenal volcano and lake Arenal. I had such a relaxing time. It's about a 40 minute drive from la fortuna.

Amazing location, right by the Volcano and the rainforest.

This was an extraordinary experience and for sure the best way to be close to Arenal volcano . The view from the room is amazing . Equipped with a really good bed it’s the best way to experience the forest with highest comfort. From the balcony you see and hear a lot of birds. And the staff is amazing, they are very welcoming and help you with everything you need - always with a smile ! My personal highlight was my morning coffee on the balcony swing watching and listening to the forest . It’s the best and worth every cent !

    Definitely the best place we stayed in Costa Rica. It was so great waking up in the tents with a fantastiv view on the vulkano. The tents were very comfortable and awesome. In the morning we even saw some tucans. The best part of our stay were Wendy and Roger. The wete so welcoming, heartwarming, helpful, and fun and it was always nice to have a little chat with them

    We travelled with our children (3 years old and 8 months) and it was a dream destination! We were prepared for the « bumpy » road to get there, and it was much less difficult than expected. Nepenthe was a magic place to stay for our family. We loved: 1-The LOVELY and welcoming staff at Phoenix restaurant. Our son already misses his « friends » 2- The view from our villa was breathtaking. 3-The calm, the birds, the weather and all the activities in the area! 4-The villa #7 itself was well furnished and very spacious
