The Bougainvillea Condos are located near the entrance of the Paradisus Playa Conchal. The exteriors are appealing to the eye and overlook the golf course. The hotel is 5 minutes further down the road from the condos. For someone without a car, you can call for a shuttle and it usually appears within 5 minutes. The shuttle ride to the main hotel is very pleasant. It is very scenic along the way and the breeze from the shuttle cools you off from the beating sun. The ride was a huge highlight for me.

All the interiors of the condos are different from each other because they are decorated by the owners of that particular condo unit. I actually really liked the interior. Although each condo has their own style, they were nicely furnished and all had a warm & cozy feel to them. Everything seemed new and it offered a lot more space than the actual hotel’s Junior Suites. Because there was less traffic in these condos than the actual hotel rooms, everything seemed less worn and weathered. There were all the modern appliances including a washer and dryer. The only thing missing were safe deposit boxes.

Although there is the shuttle, I would highly recommend that you book a rental car so that you can get groceries and also go out to eat outside of the property. For groceries, you can go to either the town of Flamingo or Brasilito and both of them were very close by.

What I liked most about the condos was that it gave you the best of both worlds, a luxury Costa Rica rental condo with the use of all the amenities of a 5-star all-inclusive resort. This is a great option for those who do want to stay at Paradisus Conchal but do not have the budget to stay at the hotel. It also allows families of more than 3 people to stay all together since the Junior Suites only allow three people to a room. We stayed in a two bedroom condo on the first floor.
