You have to see this place for yorself!

My family stayed here for our time in La Fortuna, this place is amazing! The views are incredible, people on staff are awesome and the wildlife is plentiful. It was an adventure gettin up to the house but made the experience even better! Other reviews say that this is not "luxary in the jungle", well it is not but one of the best in the area. That comment had to come from people who are expecting Palm Beach / Hollywood's version of a 5 star hotel. For local lodging this place is luxary in the jungle. If we are talking US luxary this place is a solid 3.9 stars but for Costa Rica it is 5. I can't say enough good things about this place, the Nepethane B&B and the Phoenix Restruant on site. Thank you for a stay that will be unforgettable.

Be Prepared!

This is a beautiful setting and is a B&B… very nice! But getting up a .5 mile road is treacherous and shouldn’t be attempted with a standard car/sedan. We bottomed-out multiple times. The place is poorly insulated and we had ants, cockroaches, and geckos inside. Harmless but not comfortable. The hosts were very accommodating to bringing extra towels and glasses. Don’t expect any extras in the kitchen. The meals at the B&B were great! We saw toucans out our kitchen window. Again, amazing view!!! But not for the faint of heart.

Nice property

Good property to stay at. A little complication at check-in but the staff made adjustments and go us into where we needed to be. Big house with lots of room. Great staging point for adventures in the area. Onsite restaurant staff were fantastic.

Pool and view can't be beat

Beautiful location and ample space but in need of some TLC. The house is situated on a hill with a gorgeous view of the lake and volcano. Lovely pool and outside area which is perfect for reading, napping in the hammock, or having a drink while watching the sun set. The house is spacious but in need of some attention to detail. For example, need to put screens on the downstairs bedroom window, coffee maker needs to be replaced, TV and sound system didn't work (and weren't instructions). Hotel staff were charming and breakfast was delicious.

Staying in Paradise

We loved our stay at the VRBO behind the Nepenthe properties. It was so beautiful and we had plenty of space inside the home to hang out and enjoy our family. One of our favorite memories was eating breakfast each morning with the incredible upstairs view at the Phoenix. We will miss that the most, I think. We saw toucans fly past and had such a lovely view of the rainforest. Our first night at the property our 16 year old daughter stepped into part of the pool and hurt her leg. We didn't have bandaids or bandages to help her and the management came right away with antibiotic ointment, bandaids, and tape to close the wound. They were so attentive and kind. We would definitely stay there again.
