The gardens and birds are spectacular. For those who love birding, look for Eduardo in the gardens who knows where literally everything is. Parking here can be tight so be warned. Staff is wonderful, the beds are great and the shower has actual hot water and water pressure. ##### Jean Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 7 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel Bougainvillea has been here for decades and knows exactly what most of its patrons want. The rooms are clean and spacious, with fans rather than A/C (which is fine at this altitude), though the showers are getting a bit old fashioned. Probably the best garden you’ll see in a Costa Rican hotel, and a reliably good restaurant which is favoured by non-residents. I always stay here when in the area. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allyson 8 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a very clean, comfortable, well appointed hotel with a very large & beautiful garden that is great for bird watching. The staff are friendly & professional. My only complaint would be that you can hear all the noises of plumbing or people moving around/talking during the night, and of the birds when they start calling very early in the morning. So if you are bothered by noise, bring earplugs. ##### Allyson Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 26 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A haven of peace and beauty with attentive staff This is such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, from the artwork on the walls to the artefacts on shelves wherever you look. It’s also a geologist’s dream. The staff are really friendly and attentive, esp in the hotel restaurant. And the gorgeous gardens, the pool… we spent Christmas here and it was a perfect choice for peace and beauty.

The gardens are like being in a park or botanical garden. Beautiful. Rooms are comfortable, beds and pillows were great. There wasn’t a fridge in the room, which would have been a plus. Breakfast is plentiful and tasty. A little variety after a couple days would have been nice. But very good over all ! Service is wonderful in every area. ##### Angela Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill 25 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The huge botanical garden attached to the property was gorgeous and a lovely space to walk in.

The room was nice and comfortable, the balcony had a nice view of the front garden, the breakfast buffet was good, the hotel grounds were super, and the staff was fabulous! After breakfast we walked the grounds bird watching and admiring the diversity of plants present. The staff, especially Leta, were friendly and super helpful. We had trouble getting our reserved car from an agency upon our arrival at the airport so we needed help securing our rental vehicle the next day from the hotel. Not being a Spanish speaker, Leta offered her help for better communication with the rental car staff. Leta reduced our stress and helped make arrangements for transportation to the rental car office. Thank you Leta! ##### Burton Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James 22 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s an older hotel so it’s somewhat outdated. I see where some will find charm in that. It’s a nice property with a nice garden area for walking. I paid for a Mountain View and honestly it was a parking lot and a roof visible from in the room. If you went outside and leaned around the corner from the balcony you could see downtown. It was quite Misleading in my opinion. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 8 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place to stay outside of the city but near enough to the airport that you can get there within half an hour. The garden was amazing (although not open at night sadly). We arrived after the restaurant was closed but the kitchen still did some room service for us which was kind. We didn't have any hot water but since travelling around Costa Rica, I think that was user error and its all to do with how much you turn the tap… We would definitely stay again. ##### Emily Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Enrique A. 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay if you’re in the area. ##### Enrique A.
