We found the hotel at the tourist information office at Puerto Viejo. It was very comfortable, the staff is the most friendly which I saw in my life. I can suggest all of people, who would like to enjoy the Caribbean sea. The most beautiful beaches very close to the hotel.... The hotel inside the forest, and you can hear... More

I recently had the opportunity to stay for 6 weeks at Hotel Bugabutik in Cocles, Costa Rica. As a writer, I was looking for a quiet location close to the beach and with good Wi-Fi connectivity. At Bugabutik, I found everything I was looking for and more. My cabin room had a balcony facing the rainforest jungle, home to a... More

Nice property, off the beaten path and if you do not have a car prepare for long walks or taxis. We had the private hut and I loved it. Anibel is a wonderful manager who really makes your stay perfect. Great staff-typical European owner who has the slight arrogant attitude to guests and staff. I am an American. Beautiful beach...

We were so pleased to find this after arriving at the HOTEL CASA CAMARONA (don't stay there, separate review). This is a quality resort set in a beautiful setting and the sounds on the Howler Monkey's make it more exciting. This is a tranquil quiet little place with no screaming children or loud groups. The breakfast is a good quality... More

This was our 6th trip to Costa Rica, and our stay at Buganvillea Resort was meant to be a relaxing end of a busy week after my husband completed the very difficult mountain bike race "La Ruta de los Conquistadores". We had stayed at a wonderful mix of eccentric hotels and B & B's across the country and this last... More

My sister and I stayed at Buganvillea for a week in March. I can warmly recommend this hotel to any one, especially if you have a car. The hotel is located pretty much in between Puerto Viejo and the beautiful beach Puerto Uva, a bit up in to the jungle from the main road. We got around by taxis or... More

Our friends recommended this excellent place on the Caribbean side. Great place and location with beautiful threes surrounding the resort. Excellent service and food. The rooms are of high quality and with a great view into the forest. The owner Andrea and his assistance Gaby gave the best of the best service. The food is cocked on the grill and... More

We arrived in the area with no reservations anywhere so we stopped at about 6 different places checking out rooms and rates. No other place even came close to the Buganvillea. The rooms with a/c are set on the edge of a forest - very quiet and serene sitting on the patio. The rooms are comfortable and the bathroom modern... More

Hotel Buganvillea is a new place in Punta Cocles, 200 mts from a beautiful beach. Nice rooms, covered pool. Very pleasant reception. Good breakfast to start the day. It is 2 kms. from Puerto Viejo with lots of restaurants and live music on Saturdays.
