La Bougainvillea

We had an amazing time here. Service was great. The food was amazing! We came back twice. I LOVED the rice and peas. The sausage sandwich was too good too. The cocktails were amazing. Really enjoyed it here and will miss it!

We just returned from a 5 night visit to La Bougainvillea. From the time we arrived to the moment we left, it was just spectacular. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable-they truly have the most kind and hospitable staff. ||The resort is small so never feels crowded. It overlooks the most beautiful stretch of sugary pinkish white sand with direct beach access. It also has a beautiful infinity pool that we took advantage of (and the poolside drink service :)) It is also only about 10 minutes from Governor’s Harbor, if you need to go into town for anything. It is a little over an hour from the Gene’s Bay dock/preachers cave/Blue hole. The drive is easy though and the landscape is just stunning-and the amentities of the hotel make the drive well worth it!!||We booked a Queen Garden room and it was perfect for my family of 4 (2 kids ages 17 and 10). The bed was heavenly, and I slept like a baby every night. The mattress was so comfortable and the sheets were a cool, crisp cotton-starched to perfection. I have to give props to the house cleaning staff because not only are the bed immaculately everyday. The room was also large enough that we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other which was nice! There is a mini-fridge and coffee maker in the room and the shower was nice and large. The room also felt light and airy. ||The restaurant was delicious and we ate there quite a bit. The service was great and I really appreciated that they were so conscious of my daughter’s peanut allergy and all of the servers took note of that at all of the meals. ||I had considered other hotels on the island , but so glad I ended up with LaBougainvillea. It is truly a gem!

I had such a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Precious! From the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. She was attentive without being overbearing, always checking in at just the right times. The service was fast, friendly, and professional. She also was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations that made our appetizers even better. It’s rare to find someone who makes the whole lunch experience so seamless and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again I’ll be asking for Precious again! Highly recommend!

The expensive drinks were very watered down.I would not recommend getting any cocktails here. They are alcohol free. I would drink beer instead. The shrimp dynamite appetizer was wonderful so were the shrimp tacos. The service was slow with no one in there. It was off season. Sit by the water the view is beautiful.

We stayed here towards the end of our stay at Eleuthera. Mr. Sonam, Terez, and team took utmost care of us, even planning an impromptu birthday celebration for my dad's birthday with no notice. The lunch there was wonderful, they prepared dishes not on the menu to cater to dietary needs for some people in our group.|It's a small boutique hotel so never overcrowded - the hotel beach was as good as private and they had set up everything for us outside to enjoy it. They provided us with snorkels and kayaks, etc. |All in all great experience!

Our evening started out great. We ordered drinks and appetizers. The appetizers were great, we had plantain and grouper and shrimp ceviche. After that, it went down hill. We were the last to be served our dinner. The waitress came to our table and told us the “chef” prepared the nachos with chicken instead of beef and that was the delay. The nachos consisted of Tostitos with lots of cheese and a little bit of beef. My husband ordered the quesadilla without black beans, it came with black beans. The others on two orders were the bowls. Two dried pieces of dark meat with little ramekins of corn, beans, and salsa. |The waitress or chef did not apologize for the delay in our food and it was mediocre at best. Won’t go back.

Over a course of 5 years, we’ve been here multiple times, with the latest being tonight. This restaurant is just incredible, this is the one place we come to over and over again, every time we visit the island. The staff are so friendly and the food is solid every time, they just don’t miss. I will also say that I think this is the best value bar on the island. The cocktails are $15-$18, but they are stiff drinks, you only need one or two. Other restaurants on the island have very weak drinks for the same price. You can’t beat the views either!

We absolutely loved it there. The rooms were perfect. We stayed in the cottage and had a TV. My friends stayed in a regular room... Would be nice to have a TV in there. This place is so quaint and beautiful. Great food and bar. Staff was absolutely amazing. Love everything about it. 💕
