During our Costa Rica tour we were given a recommendation for El Encanto by other travellers we met. We (two couples) arrived without reservation and booked for one night. Then we always added one night more - four in the end, because we liked the accomodation, the magnificent garden, the delicious breakfast, the calmness and the hospitality so much. Good... More

What a wonderful vacation! We spent 3 days at El Encanto being graciously cared for by Brigitte, Daniel and their staff. We arrived without reservations and Brigitte kindly accommodated us even though it required some shuffling on her part. Our included breakfast was delicious and large (coffee/tea, juice, fruit, toast, eggs and home made jams!), served in the dining area... More

I have to agree with Ciham_Arnauld's review. We were there 3 nights, end of march 2012, Brigitte and Daniel really are very good hosts, pleasant, eager to help, and much more. Yes, the rooms are very nice and mostly very clean, lovely little patio, I was sitting out there at 5h30 every morning listening to the birds and monkeys. The... More

We spent a couple of days in Cahuita and this hotel was a very nice place to stay. The host are very nice people, the ground all around is quiet, armonious and full of nature, and the room was comfortable enough. My little boy enjoyed a lot the pool, which is small, but big enough for the use it has.... More

I have thought about writing this review from the day I got in the hotel on March 27th until now that I'm back at home and I still don't know how to describe at best the positive energies that I felt there, I just can't tell how deep I have been charmed. Trying to remain concrete, after spending 18 days... More

Daniel and Brigette were absolutely LOVELY hosts. Such sweet people. They really added a personal touch - for example, when I returned after dinner one evening, I found a fresh flower sprig in a vase along with a lit tea candle on my cabina porch. The common area is very comfortable and inviting, the garden beautiful. Really nice room, clean.... More

I recently returned to Cahuita for my 2nd time, and had no hesitation to stay at the wonderful El Encanto Inn. While the hotel is now operated by a different owner, there has been no change since my last visit. The grounds are beautiful, quiet, and full of gorgeous plants and all types of birds. The hospitality is fantastic, as... More

The El Encanto Inn was a great place to stay. The hosts Briggette and Daniel were very nice. We had the apartment space with a small balcony - the balcony had a hammock and a small table and chairs overlooking their beautiful gardens. We stayed for 11 nights. It was a great location with the town only a five minute... More

What a lovely trip and a great place to stay. Brigitte and Daniel, the new owners, are warm, accommodating hosts who care that you have a pleasant, relaxing, peaceful stay. Juanita, the housekeeper, is a sweetheart who does an excellent job and Cindy makes sure everything stays in line! El Encanto is a charming, comfortable, beautiful bed and breakfast that... More

I had stayed here about a year and a half ago when this place was was run by another owner. My husband and I hoped it would be just as wonderful this time around. The new owners, Daniel & Bridgette, couldn't be lovelier! Daniel checked in with us every day, speaking a mixture of English, Spanish, and French (depending on... More
