It is a well cared piece of property, luscious gardens, lovely rooms, delicious food and the best coffee you can have. This is my most wonderful keep secret. The value and comfort of a $400 a night hotel for a quarter of the price. Close to all the attractions and it really makes you feel like you are at home.... More

My husband found this hotel on the internet for our last night's stay in Costa Rica. We were amazed at the incredible property. Their gardens are truly spectacular. The rooms were clean and spacious. This would be wonderful spot for a destination wedding!

This luxury hotel is well worth the half hour drive from the airport. The gardens have excellent design, are well-kept and have nice tropical birds. I saw a Rufous-capped Warbler there and that is a true rarity in the United States. Food in the restaurant was superior, which is a good thing as the hotel is a bit isolated in... More

We live in Costa Rica and we had heard so many good things about Hotel Bougainvillea from traveling tourists, so we decided to stay there to get away for a couple of days. It is elegant and the staff are all very friendly from the housekeeping staff all the way up to the managers. The rooms are clean and spacious.... More

Only a 15 minute drive from the airport, and you arrive at a tropical paradise. You're in your own little world at the Bougainvillea. The Gardens are not only gorgeous and flourishing, they are masterfully maintained. Birds, including hummingbirds are all around, as well as butterflies, and we even saw a couple of owls. You can spend hours meandering through... More

The accommodations were excellent. The garden is exquisite, breath-taking, and very relaxing. One could probably stroll for hours just taking in the beautiful scenery. There was a balcony attached to the room which overlooked the garden and you can go out and sit and have a morning cup of coffee. I was there as part of a photography workshop and... More

What a lovely hotel hidden away in a beautiful garden just 20 min. from the San Jose airport in Costa Rica. The staff were great, the resturant excellent. No aircondioning, but the ceiling fan was all we needed in the mountains. Each room has a balcony with a pretty view of the mountains. Their gift shop was excellent with many... More

I always stay here when I visit Costa Rica. The pool area is nice. The gardens are fabulous and extremely well kept. The rooms are comfy. No air con needed. The nice cool weather in Heredia suffices at night. The restaurant is good but not for foodies. Also if you're used to 4-5 star accommodations and are particular about things... More

My wife and I reserved this hotel for my parents. My parents are older and have strict dietary restrictions. This was the perfect place for them! First, the gardens and the hotel ifself are beautiful. Tranquil, beautiful and comfortable. Also, the service is perfect. The staff treated my parents wonderfully and made many exceptions and changes to meet their needs.... More
