Guest Reviews
- Isabel (10/5): Espectacular - El lugar es demasiado hermoso, se respira paz , apenas para desconectarse del dia a dia, esta cerca pero alejado del bullicio, la habitacion sin palabras son tipo bungalo lo que permite que no se escuche nada, la comida delicisiosisima, la gente agradable, la piscina apenas para relajarse y las zonas cercanas a la playa inmejorables recomendadisimo. Que me faltaron dias para disfrutar
- Francis (4/5): - The hotel was located on a decent quiet beach which was not crowded at all. The room was small and drab and not at all like the picture. Maybe the Cabanas are better. The food was mediocre to poor. The pool was very small. No uber/ Grab. You could call for an overpriced Taxi.
- Renate (10/5): Top Unterkunft, Restaurant und Personal sowie wunderschöne Lage. - Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Sehr bequeme Betten. Hinter dem Cottage hat es eine Wäscheleine. Das ist selten anzutreffen, super. Sehr gutes Restaurant. Personal äusserst freundlich. Tolle Ausstattung am Beach. Schöner Pool. Nichts
- Anne-Marij (10/5): -
- Anna (10/5): The perfect place to re-charge - Amazing place, supernice cottages next to pool and beach, yoga classes, great surfing, sloth in the tree☺️
- Caroline (9/5): Empfehlenswert für einen entspannten Aufenthalt - Entspannte Strandlage, Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, gepflegter und trotzdem natürlicher Garten, sahen u.a. ein Faultier und Fledermäuse hingen bei uns am Dach, Mückennetze überall, schöner Pool Als ein Event für externe Leute organisiert wurde, kam die Chefin, ließ während des Frühstücks alles umstellen und dekorieren, was leider große Unruhe reinbrachte. So ähnlich war es nochmal während des Abendbrotes.
Yoga kostet extra (15$).
- Kirstin (9/5): Amazing - Very good location at beach front. It was full booked but really quiet and peaceful. Very nice guests at the same time and very friendly and engaged staff. It was NY eve and the restaurant was closed 🥲. We had to go for dinner outside and it would have been amazing to have a NY eve event at the hotel with the other guests
- Lizette (10/5): -
- Christina (10/5): Incredible. Breathtaking. - Amazing location. Beautiful cottages. No vegan options for breakfast, it was just a case of leaving something off. However they had lots of options for lunch and dinner.
- michal (9/5): We loved that place - Location direct on the beach
Cosy, quiet, with yoga and surf lessons available.
Friendly staff and great gardener.
Many hammocks to swing in the shadow. Food was good but some beef disches could be improved.
- Edward (10/5): -
- Daniel (8/5): Una experiencia magnífica. - La ubicación y en el trato del personal genial. La habitación un poco pequeña, y le falta algunas comodidades, TV, baño muy reducido y sin ventilación.
- Kathleen (10/5): Beautiul property! - Excellent service! The meals were delicious! It was perfect!
- Silke (10/5): - Die familiäre Atmosphäre, die ruhige Lage direkt am Meer, das sehr gute Frühstück und die geschmackvolle Einrichtung.
- Lauren (9/5): This really was Boho chic beach paradise for the family. - The grounds and room were so beautiful! Our family had an incredible time. The pool was perfect. We had a phenomenal surfing lesson with Alfredo (who was great with kids!) and loved our dinners and breakfast at the restaurant. Yoga was also such a wonderful delight. In fact, the entire staffstyle was just phenomenal Thank you so much! Compared to how incredible the places the only thing that wasn’t wonderful was that there was really only a sheet on the bed and we had to order some throw blankets to sleep. The beach /pool towels were also rough and flimsy. But otherwise, we really loved our stay!
- Emma (8/5): -
- Ruth (9/5): Lovely place - We loved the place and the setting at the beach. The staff was super friendly (great barkeeper 😉) and the rooms are really nice! The food is really nice, too! You can book yoga, massages and surfing lessons directly with the accomodation. Unfortunately the kitchen seems a little oberwhelmed if there is a big group at breakfast. It takes very long for the food to arrive. They do bring you a bowl of fruit beforehand though.
- Alina (10/5): -
- Sonja (10/5): -
- ARTIE (9/5): - Loved everything about the place- ocean front location cannot be beat! Boho chic decor was adorable. Breakfast was made to order and delicious. The pool was lovely. The barking dog from the neighbors’
- Tim (10/5): -
- Wilco (10/5): Heerlijk. - Alles! Top locatie, beach huisje is superleuk. Prima ontbijt. Menu verder goed. Ik las ergens in de reviews dat her erg Amerikaans was. Dat klopt, maar wel in de meest positieve klantvriendelijke manier. Koffie staat klaar voor het ontbijt. Leuk zwembad!
- Ronald (8/5): - Very nice and cosy accommodation with direct beach acces and very good vibe. The gardens are wonderfully maintained and the pool is Paradise. The restaurant (also breakfast) is not exceptional and food could have more attention. The bathroom in our bungalow was very basic and small and not comfortable in line with the rest of the room and resort.
- Emmie (9/5): - Encantada was the perfect place to finish our 2 weeks in Costa Rica. After lots of fun and adventure we could relax and enjoy being pampered. The cottages are cute, staff is great, excellent yoga. The beach is almost empty in low season. Perhaps less focused on families, but a real treat all the same. Avoid if you look for loud discos and bars. Also avoid if you want to see wild animals around the hotel, the cats are the main attraction here. But if relaxing is your aim, this is the place for you!
- Tim (10/5): -
- Cristin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Petya (10/5): Real paradise - This property is amazing! Real paradise!
Exceeded all of our expectations!
Definitely will be one of the the top of the places I have ever stayed and highly recommend to everyone who is looking for beautiful peaceful place!
- Dr. (9/5): Superb - Beautiful, very well-kept and super-clean property. Perfect location, very friendly staff, and careful gardening. We visited with a group of friends (several families with small kids) and really enjoyed our time at the beach, around the pool, and in the restaurant. We will be back! The air conditioning in the room could not be regulated well (either on or off). Some of the breakfast options could be prepared with a bit more love.
- Margarete (10/5): Wonderful place with perfect location - The staff was very friendly and very welcoming l. Little issues were attended and solved immediately in a very professional way.
The location couldn't be better, right on the beach. The pool was a saltwater pool and had the perfect size.
The house I rented was very clean and nice decorated and we felt very comfortable, it had a well equipped kitchen.
- Kathleen (10/5): We had an idealic and peaceful stay at this wonderful place! - Having both an outstanding pool and an ocean beach makes this property very special.
- Theresa (10/5): A little gem on a secluded beach. - Encantada is a little gem on a beautiful beach. The staff were all helpful and friendly, the food was great, and the location is amazing. We had the cottage with a view of the ocean - one of our best rooms out of years of travels.
- Raelynn (9/5): Superb -
- Gill. (8/5): Comfortable stop next to the beach - Love hearing the crashing of the waves on the shore! The ocean cottage is fab with its little deck looking at the ocean.
Boho vibe, beautiful planting, like a little oasis.
Comfy bed, great pillows, good showers!
Easy to find and fairly close to the highway. Great first stop from a long flight!
Breakfast is nice with lovely fresh fruit. The barking dogs next door are annoying.
I think the staff could be more welcoming especially considering its our 4th time visiting!
Meal in the evening was ok but service so slow we cancelled desert.
On the beach there are no cushions/pads on sun beds which are just pallets. So only two big double sunbeds pool had plenty of more comfortable sun loungers.
Beach towels were actually just like a thin pieces of cotton!
- Marjolein (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ocotillo (8/5): Beautiful location and relaxing experience, with some exceptions (Dogs barking next door) - Overall, we enjoyed the experience of being in an uncrowded and beautiful beach area. We stayed in Cabina #4 and we loved our space. We enjoyed the well cooked meals and the morning coffee at the beautiful open air restaurant. We felt it was a good value compared to the adjacent hotel restaurant (La Alma). We enjoyed the warm, sparkling swimming pool and the immaculate maintenance of the gardens and the grounds with tropical flowers and plants. Our spacious room was perfect for two people...bedding was comfortable and luxurious. The room would have been too small for more than one couple and possibly a child in the loft above. The loft was accessed by steep spiral staircase and we never went there. A/C worked well and kept us comfortable day and night. The weather outside can be very hot and humid, so you need to come into the room to cool off or go into the gorgeous pool. Yoga classes for $15 were offered daily, and the leader was wonderful and accommodating of all levels. Very spiritual and relaxing. This cabin (4) is adjacent to the restaurant and office. It was noisy with conversations from staff sometimes, especially early mornings and late at closing time. The adjacent property to the north had 2 dogs which would howl and bark. Several guests commented to us that they were in rooms adjacent to the property and they were very disturbed. We could hear the dogs every day, but were further away. Those dogs really are a negative issue with this hotel. Be sure you get a room as far from the residence as possible. Owners would take the dogs for walks on the beach, and the dogs would bark until they got to go for their walks, and often during the day, not at night.
- Miriam (9/5): Superb -
- Rachel (10/5): We couldn’t have been happier. An exquisite respite. Highly recommend the catamaran tour we booked through the property, - The staff were so friendly and helpful. The beach was so accessible and not busy at all! Truly a peaceful atmosphere and our daughter loved the pool. The restaurant food was delicious!! Not the property’s fault, but the dog on the property next door was barking at all hours of the night. Pack your ear plugs just in case ;).
- Christine (9/5): Superb - The small, boutique resort was quaint, intimate, comfortable, and picturesque. It was ideally located on a beautiful, long, sandy beach. The staff were all amazing, friendly people who provided excellent service with big smiles. The gourmet local food and drinks in the restaurant and bar were very tasty. The bathroom facilities in our room were cramped.
- Ruth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Krishna (9/5): Incredible experience in a great location. - The property was located right on the beach, well maintained and clean. The hosts and everyone else was super friendly and helpful.
Incredible and fresh cooked breakfast every morning with many selections off a limited menu of options including a daily special. We had dinner one night and it was well executed. Drinks were good also.
The property arranged for surf lessons, a whale-watching tour, and a customized tour of Manual Antonio National Park. We had a critter in the ceiling of our room that was noisy and affected our sleep at night.
Communication on how to get into the property late at night was unclear and we had to honk several times to get security to finally come out and open the gate.
Wifi was not available in our room and we had to go to the office area to do any business that needed a wifi connection.
- Maria (8/5): Very good -
- Esther (9/5): Superb - Seen more wildlife than in Manuel Antonio from the deck and house. The hosting couple was really friendly. Breakfast and lunch menu's are good. A rental car is preferred in this area. Given the low season there were not much taxi's. Luckily the hosts helped us out!
- Mcallister (10/5): A beautiful relaxing week! - We had the most perfect week staying at Encantada with friends! It was so relaxing to have everything you need right on the property. The food at the restaurant was the best we had all week. The breakfast is incredible. Drinks are amazing. Perfect location right on the beach. The market is a 2 minute drive along with lots of other restaurants and cafes. We wanted a place where we could just lay and relax all day, while having the options of doing activities and excursions. During our week we did yoga, couples massages, surfing, catamaran tour, and a waterfall hike. It was perfect! N/A
- Kimberly (9/5): Very enchanting; I look forward to coming back in the future. - The grounds were beautiful and the staff was attentive. Our room was well equipped with cooking supplies and we easily made several meals. Their onsite free breakfast was very good. The pool was clean and the loungers comfortable. I worked much of the stay and had no issues enjoying privacy (I didn’t use the WiFi as I had a hot spot). My son took private surf lessons and had a blast! Our beautiful room had a wall in the double shower head bathroom that adjoined the housekeeping service room. This meant we had hit or miss water pressure in our shower and could hear people talking by 7am. The water pressure drove me crazy as l am a morning shower taker…but my son had no issues showering about 5pm each day.
- Cecilia (9/5): Superb -
- Cecilia (9/5): Loved it! -
- Tim (9/5): Superb -
- Georg (10/5): We would stay here again. - We booked two connected apartments. Both were very stylish designed and very well equipped: Beds very super comfy, bathroom top notch with super hot and cold water pressure, AC efficient and quiet, kitchen equipments with coffee, salt and pepper and oil and vinegar all other equipments in very good quality and quantity. Parking behind the house in a safe, locked area. Many good restaurants for breakfast and dinner in walking distance, as well as supermarkets, the city center and a nice park. The hosts met us on arrival, were very helpful and answered immediately, when we had a question. The apartments were spotless clean.
We can also highly recommend The restaurant "La Familia Feliz - Very delicious authentic Peruvian Food.
We recommend to visit Fortuna Falls in the morning at 7 am - we hat the most wonderful waterfall for ourselves. The hot spring river is a super alternative to the hot spring spas - parking costs some dollars but is organized and water shoes are highly recommended. Go at day or night it is lovely. We loved everything. We looked for an accommodation with volcano view at first, but they were all booked and we couldn´t see the volcano anyways, due to rain and clouds. If you are looking for an apartment this is the place.
- Turo (10/5): Excellent peaceful stay near the beach - The staff was among the friendliest and most helpful I have ever met. On arrival we were personally welcomed by the manager on the parking area who ensured a car not belonging a client was removed out of the way. We got an immediate tour around the place orienting us to all amenities. I was provided with help in sorting out a confusion with a doctor's appointment - it was crucial - and had documents printed out on request. At every level, every query was answered and all help offered without hesitation. We enjoyed the setting with a lush garden, nice pool, and a magnificent beach. Early morning walks when the sun is just up, the temperature is in the pleasant range, you walk close to the waves that roll on shore and see pelicans fly low and in formation - that's a memory to savour. Swimming in the ocean (on days with little risk of rip tides) was a great experience and beach was never busy in any sense. - Must and will return! We intentionally chose a place well outside Quepos but still within a decent distance - this may not suit everybody. One of our group of three felt that the restaurant menu could have had more vegan/vegetarian options. None could come up with any other negatives.,
- Silke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jackie (9/5): Excellent, relaxing beach stay - The location of Encantada Ocean cottages is superb, situated right on a long unspoilt, undeveloped sandy beach. The hotel has its own cabanas, loungers etc on the beach. The whole hotel is very attractive and the pool area offered very comfortable loungers and cabanas, open 24hrs a day. The food in the restaurant was excellent, cooked on a outside wood fired grill and also offered local craft beer. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed yoga on the beach (note this is at extra cost but very reasonable and the hotel provided a free smoothy at the end of the session). We stayed for 2 nights as we were touring the Pacific coast but if Costa Rica wasn't a 12hr flight from London we would definitely come for a week's beach holiday. The only issue we encountered during our stay was noise from the neighbouring properties dogs who were obviously barking at wildlife early in the morning. However, most rooms in the hotel did not back onto this property - ours was one of only two on the opposite side of the pool from the reception area.
- Sydney (10/5): Incredible long weekend - Wow! My boyfriend and I loved our stay here! Everything was thought of at the resort. From the little details in the room, to the numerous hammocks, sitting areas, activities on property, I was able to do yoga every morning and my boyfriend loved that he could rent a surfboard on property and surf right out front. Also, the resturant on property was delisous for lunch and dinner. We will be back very soon! NA
- Shaun (9/5): Superb - A peaceful haven: the location on an almost deserted beach was sublime,the garden, swimming pool and hammocks were lovely and we enjoyed the morning yoga. Our 'bungalow ' was actually a fairly small room with a small ensuite. It was clean and comfortable but not quite what we were expecting
- Joanne (10/5): Beautiful - Everything
- Simon (10/5): Amazing place next to an amazing beach - Amazing place, which we will definitely visit again next time we are traveling in Costa Rica. The only thing we regret is that we did not spend more days here.
- Linda (9/5): Superb -
- Polina (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely stunning place Nothing
- Cristopher (10/5): An amazing and relaxing weekend - Privacy, gardens, the social areas, infrastructure.
- Jose (8/5): Beautiful surrounding for enjoying a slow stay - Extraordinary location For a boutique hotel, it lacked “passion and soul”
Expensive comparing with other hotel experiences in Costa Rica
- Elizabeth (8/5): It was a pleasant, low-key ending for our trip in Costa Rica. - Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable. Really good guacamole. :) Only disappointment was that the cabana were were put in did not match the pictures which made it look like it was on the beach and next to the pool. We are in the cabana farthest away from both and right next to the road. Still a very pleasant stay though.
- Hilda (10/5): I’ll go back in a heartbeat - Great staff. Good location. Owners committed to providing quality
- Ingrid (10/5): So, so peaceful! Highly recommend - Beautiful and peaceful hotel, perfect if you want to enjoy a quiet beach! Highly recommend! Beautifully styled rooms. Great food. Friendly staff. Would definitly come back to enjoy some quiet, relaxing time, with an almost "private" beach. A small pool to cool down in, sun beds by the beach, slack line and volleyball net availible.
- Sean123 (7/5): Laid back beachfront - The property is nice, laid back, and right on the beach. The pool is beautiful, and the open air beach restaurant sets a relaxed tone. We enjoyed the beach chairs, and there were hammocks and several different seating areas. We stayed in the ocean front cottage with double doors that opened toward the ocean. We loved the large deck and gigantic beachfront. The restaurant was good and priced reasonably, with super friendly, helpful service, and the breakfast was excellent. The room was comfortable enough but showed a little more wear than we expected at this price. The shower floor was a little hard to walk on, the cushions could use a scrub, and some cobwebs needed to be cleaned. We wished we could have locked the oceanfront doors from the outside, so we didn't have to walk around to the back when we wanted to lock our things. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would overlook some of the extra wear on things if we hadn't paid so much. Maybe the lower-priced rooms are a better value.
- Škapová (10/5): This accomodation is a dream!!! - Everything!!! The cottage, the pool, the restaurant, beach, amazing food Anything
- Whitney (9/5): Best 37th Birthday ever! - The entire staff!! This was my first time in Costa Rica and it was my birthday. They had complimentary champagne and even a slice of cake for me. The scenery was amazing, lots of beautiful flowers and thick lush bushes and trees. The pool was a size, warm, deep, and was amazingly beautiful at night. The property was peaceful. I will be back again! Thank you to the staff for the welcoming service and kindness everyday! The service was phenomenal. Shirley, Ricky and Daniel, Thank you! N/A I was pleasantly surprised
- William (10/5): Paradise. First class - Paradise. First class treatment as soon as you drive into gate flanked by lions and walk by the hedges circling the blue pool. From our cottage we could see and hear the ocean. The room was decorated creatively and well appointed. Staff respected your privacy and breakfast offered five variations as well as daily specials. There are only six rooms and everyone was discreet so it was like staying at your own beachfront resort. Nada.
- Amelie (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (9/5): Superb - Great, quiet location on the beach, friendly, helpful staff, very good restaurant.
- Oana (4/5): Disappointing - The property is located in a beautiful area with direct access to an incredible beach. The pool and restaurant seem lovely and the added yoga classes are great. We were extremely disappointed to find that the two bedroom villa was at the back of the car park, next to the street and had a completely different look and feel to the other houses. It seemed as it was added as an after thought, it was damp inside and very smelly, low ceiling, very dark inside and had no windows for the main bedroom. We couldn't accept the conditions and moved out after the first 30min - luckily we just went to the hotel next door. The staff was understanding and we got a refund for all but the first night. It really is a pity because the rest of the houses seem lovely. Just a warning for those booking the two bed.
- Jan (8/5): Very good -
- Alma (9/5): Superb -
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Linda (10/5): Lovely little hotel, and the owners and staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. - Location, comfort, restaurant, staff Everything was awesome
- Joanna (10/5): Amazing beach location and superb service - this place is a real gem - Fantastic location right on the beach. very chilled out vibe with great food and exceptional service. we had a small problem with our room and it was rectified very quickly. Lovely pool area; everywhere was spotlessly clean. We all felt staff went above and beyond to make our stay special and it truly was. we would love to go back! Nothing - it was perfect.
