This was an amazing find in the perfect location. We were located within an easy walk around the art/history district and wonderful restaurants. We will definitely recommend to others and stay again ourselves.

Beautiful Hotel close to all the actuon
Lovely spacious room in the Art District of San Jose del Cabo. Close to shops and great restaurants. The courtyard, pool area and common spaces are beautifully decorated and inviting. The only negative is that the area can be a bit noisy at night as it is near nightlife. Earplugs dd the trick for me but this could be an issue if you are a light sleeper. Everything else was exemplary.

Paulina, the person at the front desk, who checked us in, is so very sweet and hospitable and she made us feel at home in every way. The hotel is gorgeous and within walking distance to some really great restaurants and coffee shops.

The hotel is very unique and the garden area and pool area is beautiful. Located near the center of town is great. It allowed us easy access to shopping and dining. The room need some updating, the couch was tired and the bathroom was musty and old. A little tlc in these areas would make it great. The bed was very comfortable.

This was our second time here, 16 years apart & the hotel still holds its exquisite beauty. I love the feels when staying here. Heart of the Art District Area. Elegant rooms with character and everything you need to have a peaceful comfortable sleep & stay. Beautiful pool & gardens Mexican music plays in background. The restaurant on site has an amazing breakfast lunch happy hour & dinner. Staff is very friendly & helpful. We will be back again sooner than later. Thank you 😊

I was disappointed to learn that my room was not in the main hotel, but was down the street in a separate building. This seemed like a classic bait and switch. The room wasn’t bad, it was just not what I was expecting when I booked it.

We loved the lush and picturesque outdoor garden walkway to our room. The standard double room was large enough. Very centrally located, with multiple restaurants close by. The staff was very friendly, considerate, and helpful.

We had the best stay at this quaint boutique hotel! The grounds are absolutely beautiful! We came in from shopping, dining or the beach each day to a tidied room with fresh towels and beds made. The pool area was quiet and lovely. All of the staff were extra pleasant and helpful.

Heaven in SJD
This was our last night in Baja, and being near the beach was no longer a necessity. El Encanto is the perfect place to land. There are countless food options within one block. We found a walking path nearby and then we relaxed in the pool and lovely garden.
Our rooms were well appointed and the staff is so kind. We’ll be back.
