| Blue-crowned or Lesson's Motmot - Bird of the Day |
From our hotel's website,The Hotel Bougainvillea has been a perfect fit for travelers since 1989. Located in a suburb just 10 minutes from downtown San José, we have made a name for ourselves by providing a genuine home-away-from-home experience that keeps our guests returning year after year.
The Bougainvillea is nestled within an award-winning tropical botanical garden that attracts many of the birds and butterflies that Costa Rica is famous for. We are confident you will long remember your time spent in this ten acre gem that is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful gardens in the country.
This is the third time I have had the pleasure of visiting the Hotel Bougainvillea and, if you appreciate gardens and birds, you will love it - as we have.
