El Encanto Santa Barbara

El Encanto Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"This place is a hidden gem. My parents told me romantic as it gets so 15 years or so later gave it a try! It was awesomely romantic. It was almost perfection with only one small ding. The food choices were not 5 stars and the price point is a little extreme and not likely to leave for food once there. I would say this place is a must for romantic couples looking for no more than 2 nights. Will be back and treated exceptionally well!"
