Wilson Botanical Garden Guesthouse

Wilson Botanical Garden Guesthouse Review

Wilson Botanical Garden has comfortable rooms in two modern buildings built of glass, steel, and wood, with private balconies overlooking a forested hillside. The smaller rooms have two single beds, and larger ones have three singles. The balconies are cantilevered over a ravine, making bird-watching possible from your room. Each room is named after the exotic plant growing at the doorway. Rates include three hearty, home-style meals, a guided tour of the grounds, and 24-hour access to the garden. Staying overnight is the only way to see the garden at dusk and dawn, and you can walk the Sendero Río Java, a trail that follows a stream through a forest with birds and monkeys. The staff here is cheerful and professional, and the youthful enthusiasm of visiting research students is contagious.
