Casa de las Bugambilias - Reviews - Oaxaca

We stayed here after an amazing stint in Puerto Escondido, with sand and surf to rival Hawaii. Probably wouldn't even have gotten a reservation were it not for the fact that Oaxaca's tourism industry had been struggling for the past year due to the intense but commonplace rioting the summer before. Bugambilias is spanish for bouganvillias, which blanket the entire hotel and shower down fresh magenta blossoms every morning as the guests stream into the dining room for a communal and authentic Oaxacan breakfast. Situated conveniently close to yet far enough away from the Zocalo's bustling activities, and just a short walk to one of the best salsa clubs I have ever encountered. The presentation is seamless - fresh flowers on your bed, vibrant decor, and amazing staff. In addition there is a cozy living area, with books, internet, and movies so you can chill and unwind if you feel like staying in. The hotel's renowned restaurant, La Olla (amazing), offers service to this area and live music on the weekends.
