We were travelling through and decided to stop the night in San Jose. It was very frustrating trying to find a decent hotel that would accept our standards poodle, so finding the El Encanto was a relief. The room we were given (in an annex across the street) was attractive and quiet with a nice private garden. The rooms are... More

We had a great experience there, service was wonderful, the hotel had a very private authentic Mexican villa feel. It was clean and the staff were wonderful, both Edwardo and John Paul gave us valuable information about where to eat and what to do in town. I would definately recommend anyone staying there with or with out children. Karen and... More

We spent five nights ealy april in Encanto Inn. The management and personnel is very helpful and professional and took excellent care of our needs. Our suite was overlooking the garden and the swimming pool and we could enjoy the view of birds watering in the garden fountain from our balcony. The room was on the street side and was... More

We stayed at El Encanto for 4 nights in March. We absolutely loved the ambiance. They have done a great job of making the whole area pleasant with tasteful but colorful decorations, natural light, and green spaces around the pool. They were extremely helpful, arranging rides to the airport, even checking us in for our flight! The place is perfect... More

This has to be one of the best value for money places I have ever stayed in! If you want to be in San Josè walking distance to everything in this charming little town, El Encanto is ideal. We hade a two bedroom suite for our family of 4 and it was very big, a real apartment with full kitchen,... More

Our stay here was great. The room was charming with a small kitchenette and living room and the grounds were outstanding with a gorgeous gem of a small pool. There are two buildings and we were not in the main building. There is even a chapel and space for a wedding or party at the back of the property, but... More
