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

Lovely family trip to Cahuita
We loved our stay at Hotel El Encanto. 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!

Across the road from little local beaches, the hotel and our cabana felt like an oasis to return to after snorkeling in the national park or hiking. The staff were very helpful and we enjoyed our stay. We saw sloths and monkeys right on the property.

Comfy rooms, nice properties!
Perfect stay: the property is beautiful (amazing garden, with many frogs and birds), nice pool (warm, but not too warm!), the beach is walking distance, so is the heart of the city with shops and restaurants. Suggestion: something extra with the eggs at breakfast ? After nice fruits and toasts (with delicious jam!), we got some fried eggs later alone on a plate is a bit odd. Maybe bringing them at the beginning / together with everything else would have helped. Service was pleasant: very nice people ! The Cahuita park is close by and is a gem. We stayed two nights in a superior room with a king bed: these are in isolated bungalow, very privy and comfy.
