Located to the to the west of the city, Buganvillas is a more a resort than a hotel and should be advertised as such, ideal for family relax time, Buganvillas provides most amenities that a 5-star hotel will provide.
LOCATION: West of the city, taxies from Viruviru will bring you in for Bs70. A food court can be found within walking distance as well as a Hypermaxi (a grocery store). Nearby there is also a traditional restaurant: La Olla Tarijena where you can try some of the Bolivian delicacies. The Fexpo Feria Santa Cruz is around the corner a showroom for local businesses that operate once or twice a year.
TRANSPORTATION: The hotel has its own agreement with a taxi company, you pay Bs20 more per ride (or so) but the taxies are clean and equipped with functional AC which in Santa Cruz is definitely a plus. Uber is available in Santa Cruz, another great transportation option.
CHECKING PROCESS: Fast and effective, access to premises is gated and guarded, controlled on the per individual basis, the sense of security is high. The hotel property is fully fenced. The checking process is convenient and fast, the staff is polite, well trained and quick to address any difficulties. A bell-boy will assist you carrying your luggage to your suite which can be a bit of a walk as the hotel (I should say resort for easy understanding), may require that you walk thru a few streets before you get to your assigned room. A small elevator will bring you to the upper rooms.
