La Bougainvillea Hotel and Villas

We went in early November just one week after they opened for the season. The grounds and beach are stunning. All of the staff were extremely helpful, too. My sisters and I enjoyed two dinners on sight and breakfast each morning. I highly recommend the lobster curry. I also had the best massage on the beach from Wilmeade. Seriously, the best one I’ve ever had! Thank you to Mo and her team!

This is just a review for the restaurant of the resort, not the resort itself. The restaurant is nice, with a well-organized open kitchen. Good-quality dishes, attentive and courteous service. This is the island’s restaurant where we spent the most. However, it deserves our return.

What an incredible place to enjoy a great dinner. We both had fresh fish and it was incredible. The view is unreal, overlooking the water. One of the best meals and service we had in Eleuthera. This place is a must. The staff was very attentive. The road in is a bit bumpy but quite an adventure. This is a must visit while on the island

This is an exceptional small hotel/resort for couples. The on site hotel-style rooms are spacious and clean, incredibly near to the beach, pool and restaurant/bar. There are so many wonderful things to do and see on Eleuthera, but one could definitely remain at La Bougainvillea the entire time. That said, this is a great location on the island. Special thanks to Martin at the bar for helping make the vacation especially fun.

Paradise Found! We had a 50th birthday celebration for two people in our group of 26. We spent months searching for a property that would not be over commercialized, nor overcrowded in the Caribbean, and by a stroke of luck, we happened upon la Bougainvillea. Go, go, go! From our first contact with rental agent (VRBO) Matthew to every interaction after- AMAZING service. What a hidden gem! The pictures online do not do this property justice. From the moment we arrived, we were awestruck by the beauty of the property itself, the amazing beach that we had to ourselves literally for the entire week. The entire staff from the restaurant to the hotel, to housekeeping, to Wilmide the massage therapist, were incredible. Tyler, who was our main contact at the hotel, was extremely patient, answered our daily questions, even made a point to call me to clarify information. He helped us to set up a surprise bonfire on the beach, even arranged for Maintenance to carry down a very heavy table so we could play flip cup on the beach as well! Housekeeping (Kenly) did a great job, very lovely service, even placing Prosecco and rose petals on the beds of the two bday boys’ rooms! Terez also provided very personalized service at the hotel for anything we needed in Tyler’s absence. Kia and Moe were incredible to help arrange bottles of rum we gifted our guests, and arranged for two huge dinner parties that were very organized for such a large amount of orders. The entire restaurant staff (Nae, Shanti, Justin) were extremely accommodating. Special shout out to Rosie, who had never waited on a group as large as ours, and did a phenomenal job! The food at the restaurant was delicious, I would only recommend ordering extra sauce because it was so good and sometimes there was a thin amount. Curry- delish! Make sure to double check the price of bottles of wine, because some we ordered at a lower price were not available, and we were not made aware of price diff until after the fact. Cocktails were delicious, we highly recommend the restaurant for any meal. And the view- perfect!!! Basically- what ever we requested, they made happen! We also secured the six bedroom house and three cottages through VRBO that are a part of the property as well. Amazing views from every accommodation- everything was so clean, well-managed and because of the incredible work the entire hotel staff provided, we had a literal flawless experience the entire week. Our guests said this was one of the prettiest places they had ever been, and they are very well traveled. Last- avoid flying American Airlines. Three couples out of the 13 on the trip ended up with very stressful experiences, with one couple being bumped from a flight that even had empty seats due to weight issues from cargo. Several had to fly on Delta and Delta was amazing and there were no issues with their flights. We asked all 13 couples if they would ever go back to this specific property, and to the island itself, and

This place was amazing. I question any negative reviews. This place is quaint, cute and has impeccable service. We stayed here for 3 nights and the beds and pillows are so comfy. They have a generator in case the electricity goes out which is convenient. The bar has amazing mojitos, the conch fritters were the best ever, and Justin made me a phenomenal dry cappuccino for breakfast. I also got a massage on the beach which was amazing. They have cute handmade bags in the main area as well. Seriously loved every moment here. The road is bumpy to get there but we rented a small SUV and it wasn’t a big deal. I love that the beach and hotel are so quiet. If you are looking for a party atmosphere, this isn't for you. Perfect couples trip! Tips: The sand flys are bad but this is everywhere. They are at their worst at dusk and dawn. No walks on the beach at nights and be careful about laying out on chairs in the evening. Wear bug spray all the time. The hotel shared what works best and I bought some at the local grocery store. It smells good as well. The location of this hotel is perfect, and the beach is phenomenal. I loved every moment of our stay.
