Hostal Las Buganvillas

North Coast & Lowlands


Buganvillas has clean-swept rooms with tile floors and cold-water showers. Some rooms catch more of an ocean breeze than others, so have a look before committing. In three words: basic, but nice. If you can't find Anika at reception, she owns the small tienda right next to the gates.
