Nepenthe B&B is located 2.5 mi from the Arenal Volcano National Park and 1.9 mi from the Arenal Lake. It features a hot tub, sun terrace with swimming pool, spa treatments and free breakfast.

We loved the location and the views from our room overseeing the Arenal lake and the volcano. Very good restaurant onsite and the infinity pool overlooking the green mountains was exceptional. Definitely would come back if we are ever in the area.

Essence Arenal is an ecological hotel surrounded by Tropical Forest that offers a wellness center to tourists, it is surrounded by gardens and beautiful views of Lake Arenal, the Arenal Volcano and...

Essence was great. Right in the middle of the jungle with the volcano towering over. Keep in mind, this is more of a budget resort. That being said, it’s a 5 star budget option. The staff are amazing. Miguel helped us out with everything and helped book a 4 hour horseback tour with a local to a private waterfall. There are private rooms, but we stayed in the tents for a more wild-like experience and it was incredible.

Surrounded by 860 private acres of tropical rainforest and featuring an on-site lake, a swimming pool, a sun terrace and games room, Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails is located within the Arenal...

We loved that it was in the national park and so close to the volcano. So many wonderful trails to explore with the opportunity for fantastic morning and night guided hikes. The views from the dining room were spectacular and the watermelon and papaya laden bird feeder attracted many colorful and interesting birds. We also saw coatis under the feeder and watched the spider monkeys traveling through the trees at dusk returning to their spot in the forest after spending the day near the river. The restaurant’s food was very good especially the breakfasts which were included with our lodging.

    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

    It's a beautiful place in a very nice setting with a sustainable concept. The staff is very friendly and engaged. Horse rising was great and the kids can experience the animals on the farm.

    The kind helpfulness of our hosts. The view and setting Thank you to the amazing family who run the lodgings! They were very kind and attentive! The location is excellent! Highly recommended: The butterfly conservatory which is literally just a few minutes walk up the street is awesome with several stunning walks, views, and stories of its own. The amazing views from all around the property and neighbourhood! Pura vida!

    An amazing place in the heart of the Jungle. Toucans and hummingbirds wake us up. A swimming pool in a paradise garden, a jacuzzi and all this with a view of the Arenal volcano. Great staff, delicious vegetarian food. We recommend it wholeheartedly. Child-friendly.

    Great view of the volcan directly from the bed. Staff really nice and helpful. I had a payment problem with one card which resulted as the amount frozen on my account. They did the necessary to resolve it quickly. And Christian, one waiter of the restaurant is very friendly and funny and give good tips about what to do in the area.

    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
