Hotel El Encanto

Very special property. Each cabin is hidden throughout the garden landscape. Sloths, frogs and lizards all on site to enjoy. Nice restaurant and very kind helpful staff. Right across the street you have a cute beach area and a short walk to downtown. Nice clean pool area. You will Love this place.

The theater experience was extremely disappointing. The infrastructure and the country are just like anywhere else — what truly makes a difference is good service, empathy, and kindness. Unfortunately, this place had none of that.||There was zero empathy and an attitude of arrogance that can easily ruin a vacation in a beautiful country like Costa Rica. It’s truly unfortunate that machismo is still present in situations where respect and professionalism should be the priority.||A regrettable experience that overshadowed an otherwise wonderful destination.

This hotel is a gem. The gardens were beautiful, with 2 small pools surrounded by tropical plants teeming with wildlife; birds, frogs, iguanas, sloths etc. We stayed in a 2 bedroom bungalow and it was rustic but charming. The A/c was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. We enjoyed some happy hour mojito cocktails and the chef cooked fish that we caught on our fishing trip for dinner for us. Overall we had a magical time and want to return! Highly recommend!

Loved our stay here. The place is a paradise with all the birds and plants, relaxing atmosphere. The room was ok, wifi works, hot shower is ok, the bed was good. We haven’t tried the restaurant though, because we didn’t notice that it is closed on Sunday.

Excellent choice to stay on the Caribbean side! Room are meticulously clean, friendly staff and a very good on-site restaurant. Gated parking and 2 very nice pools. One pool even has a resident sloth named Sammy, who is always found in the greenery beside the pool.

Very beautiful place with exotic garden and animal life. We saw more species than in the nearby national park. Very kind staff, rooms spacious and beds comfortable. Nice breakfast menu with changing options each day. Highly recommendable.

Beautiful and peaceful in the middle of the city center ✨️ When you want food, drink or go to mass its all walkable from my wonderful swimming pool suite.

Rooms are in little bungalows, that all have different colours. All rooms have AC and mosquito net as well as sufficient towels for beach and pool. The garden is very beautiful and offers a wildlife experience with Iguanas and minimum 2 sloths living here. Breakfast is also good and the restaurant is definitely also worth a consideration as especially the setting is nice by Costa Rican standards.
