Rooms were very clean, staff was friendly, included breakfast was awesome. I liked that the whole place is gated in. It felt very safe, like a secret little retreat.

Super friendly staff, location was great in Cahuita. Everything walkable, but they helped us get a scooter and that opened up our excursion possibilities and was very helpful. Would and WILL stay here again when we return. ##### Kyle Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathleen Nov 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is beautiful, quiet, close to the beach and a short walk from town. Laurent, at reception, was extremely helpful regarding recommendations for activities and transportation. Sara, also at reception, was very helpful for setting up tours. The restaurant’s snapper in coconut sauce was delicious. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ACE783ECA207C0293877A2E075A37E1341FD12A21730834605850.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cathleen Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shireen Dec 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved it to come back for another night. We ended up staying 2 nights. We weren’t sure where to stay but decided to come back for another night. The staff are great, location to town and park and beach are also great. We stayed on ground level and on 1st floor with a balcony. Both rooms were spacious with great AC and hot water. Property is very nice and fauna is around. Breakfast was excellent. ##### Shireen Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maxime Sep 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely cabins near the main street of Cahuita. The interior has beautiful wooden surfaces. Beds come with mosquito nets which is handy. Food was great, particularly the breakfast toast with pineapple jam. All the staff was lovely. The garden is also beautiful, with chances to spot some frogs and lizards. ##### Maxime Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisabeth Jan 28, 2024 Liked: Amenities The Bungalow, the Garden with the plants and the animals, the beautiful Swimmingpool.The stuff is very friendly and helpful. ##### Elisabeth Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### gerard Apr 7, 2024 Receptionist gave us a garden tour introducing us to many CR plants and birds and iguana, sloths hiding.

The pool was the perfect temperature and never too crowded. The restaurant onsite had great food and drinks. We got a two bedroom room and it was spacious and comfortable. During our stay we saw multiple frogs and a toucan; it was a great experience! And the town of Cahuita had so many great restaurants and little shops, but wasn't super crowded our touristy - we loved it! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/990673A76DC05DB425FBD0EFA13FB6155A9BF3251697126214401.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C08BD33E44A92BDD55AF1C48E65170DDFFBDFC571697126214256.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sunrise Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grant Nov 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I absolutely loved this hotel. Spent my birthday here. Staff are fantastic, grounds are beautiful, breakfasts are great. Excellent location - a short walk to restaurants and the national park. It’s spotlessly clean as well and has aircon. It even has its own resident wild sloth in the gardens as well as lizards and frogs. There is nothing not to like, really enjoyed it 10/10 ##### Grant Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful El Encanto We stayed for four nights in the Deluxe Suite upstairs from Reception and the restaurant. It is huge and comfortable. There is a very large living room with a kitchen at one end, a bedroom with a king bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds and a large bathroom. Also a wide hallway between the living room and main bedroom in front and the second bedroom and bathroom in back. Both the living room and the front bedroom have doors leading to a front veranda with - on one side - a table and four chairs and-on the other side - two lounges and a small table. The outside grounds were beautiful and beautifully maintained with two swimming pools, an outside shower, and lots of chairs and tables scattered around. Also on the grounds are a number of bungalows. We stayed in one of the bungalows the night we arrived, before moving to the Deluxe Suite, and it was also comfortable and well-maintained. The best thing about El Encanto is the staff. They answered lots of questions we posed before we arrived. While we were there they provided superb service including setting up two tours for us with excellent guides. The breakfast at the hotel, included in the price, is very good and the restaurant is excellent, although a bit pricier than some of the restaurants in town. The staff did everything we asked and went "above and beyond" on several occasions. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, amenities The cottages were perfect, great bathrooms, air conditioning, fans, comfortable beds but with awful pillows. The grounds were also perfect and beautiful with two small swimming pools. What needs improvement is their customer service. They made a mistake with the number of beds in our room. Instead of comping us or apologizing, they had us wait and pay an extra fee for the additional bed. We were never given complimentary drinks as per their cards in the room, nor were we given two for one drinks during happy hour. I asked on two occasions before booking if the restaurant provides vegan breakfast and if they have vegan choices for dinner. The breakfast was by far the worst breakfast we had in Costa Rica. I was offered dry stale bread with thin slices of avocado and two slices of tomato. No rice and beans like all the other hotels. The fruit was delicious. We had dinner once there on our first night and the bean burger was soft and not good so we decided not to eat there again. If visiting this area again, I would not stay here and probably stay in the Punta Uva area with better beaches, restaurants, more hotels to choose from and just more to do overall. This hotel has a lot going for it but the customer service and subpar food has made us think twice. Coffee only available after 7am even though tours start early in Costa Rica and you’re up at 4:30 or 5, and there is no coffee, and the breakfast we were given to go had no vegan options. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort I was on business. Rooms are modest but the staff is great, especially Conrad. I would have liked a small refrigerator in the room and since I was their working, breakfast that started earlier than 7am, which was often delayed past 7 even for coffee. ##### David Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eliza Sep 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a great time, the service was great ##### Eliza Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie Jul 6, 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities #### Beautiful hotel Beautiful place looks just like the photos.
