Great place to start and end your vacation in costa rica. I stayed at this place last year and went back again with friends this year!! The garden is amazing..Worth your money! more

I visit Costa Rica several times per year for business, but this time was for pleasure. Every time I walk into the lobby of Bougainvillea, I feel like I am being welcomed to my second home. There are two things that make Bougainvillea one of my favorites, (and I travel frequently all over the world). The staff and the gardens.... more

A great value. The roons are spacious-furniture is not special but very nice and clean. We had a deck with two chairs that looked out over beautiful gardens. Restaurant was very good for dinner. A very nice place for a little more than $100/night. Located conveniently from the airport. more

The hotel has a beautiful garden. The staff was friendly enough and the food was decent, but unless you are planning on spending time in that very specific area surrounding the hotel (there is nothing to see around it) I highly recommend finding another hotel. It is not near San Jose or the airport at all. Costa Rica is a... more

This hotel is truly a gem. It is located about twenty minutes from city center (they have a shuttle bus). It is a relatively small hotel surrounded by a magnificient, beautifully maintained garden. The hotel is clean. The rooms are large and very nice. We woke up to a rooster crowing. We then walked out in to the garden and... more

We stayed at the Bouganvillea on our first and last nights in Costa Rica. The hotel is a nice oasis in a not terribly attractive city and a good starting point (or ending point) for a trip to Costa Rica. The grounds are lovely and there is a small blue tiled pool. The staff are very professional and the hotel... more

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Bougainvillea. We stayed in the larger rooms with the garden view. The garden's were beautiful, we stayed on the 3rd floor and could see so many flowers as soon as we woke up, along with blue skies. These rooms do not have air conditions but don't worry you will not need them. The... more

On the recommendation of our friends who lead eco-tours to Costa Rica, we four (ma femme, our daughters and I) stayed here two nights at the beginning, and one night at the end, of our marvelous two weeks in Costa Rica. It met, or exceeded, our expectations in every respect. The owners obviously invest a tremendous amount in maintenance. The... more

We wanted to spend two nights in San Jose at the beginning and at the end of our trip to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica to have breaks in our travel from and to the United States. We had stayed at the Hotel Bougainvillea on a previous trip and did not hesitate to return. A primary draw for us... more
