    beautiful gardens
    fresh fruit
    short stroll
    egg presentation
    slightly noisy

    This place is a hidden gem! The beautiful gardens were a highlight of my trip, and we enjoyed spotting wildlife like sloths and lizards right outside our room. The beach is just a short stroll away, and the lively town with its shops and eateries is also within easy walking distance. Breakfast was a daily treat with fresh fruit, homemade bread, and various options, though having the eggs served alongside everything else would improve the experience. Overall, it was a perfect place for our little family getaway while exploring the nearby Cahuita National Park.

    refreshing pool

    It was just a perfect match for a brief retreat in Cahuita with decent value for money. Enjoyed the refreshing pool area, a great spot to unwind after exploring the nearby park. Bring snacks, as the on-site restaurant prices are a bit steep.

    gorgeous gardens
    wildlife sightings
    spacious suite

    I loved the gorgeous gardens and wildlife around! The breakfast was a delicious spread of homemade bread and fresh fruit, with a rotating selection of main dishes. Our suite was spacious, perfect for our family of four, and we enjoyed spotting sloths and toucans nearby. The staff went above and beyond for our anniversary, and the pools were a great way to unwind.

    gorgeous gardens
    wildlife sightings
    delicious breakfast
    limited options

    Spent 4 nights in a Double or Twin Room at El Encanto. The gardens are stunning, with vibrant tropical plants and plenty of wildlife. I spotted sloths relaxing in the trees, which made my morning. The pool temperature was perfect for a refreshing dip. Breakfast featured fresh fruit, homemade bread, and a rotating choice of eggs or pancakes. However, the limited options for vegan offerings at breakfast left me wanting more variety. The staff provided exceptional service, creating a warm atmosphere. The only downside was occasional noise from the kitchen above my room, but it didn’t disturb my sleep too much. Overall, a lovely place to unwind and explore Cahuita.

    El Encanto is a tropical paradise! The gardens are immaculate, filled with vibrant flora and abundant wildlife, including friendly sloths. The private terrace of our Superior Bungalow provided a perfect spot to soak in the beauty.

    nice place to stay but some improvements needed

    The wildlife sightings were incredible, with sloths lounging in the trees and vibrant birds singing all around. The pool area offered a refreshing escape, allowing for relaxation and recreation in a serene setting. I appreciated the garden view from my room, which made mornings even more delightful.

    Breakfast choices could be enhanced.

    spacious room
    delicious breakfast
    occasional noise
    cramped pool area
    service attentiveness

    Spacious room with a lovely garden view and the added joy of spotting a sloth nearby was memorable. Breakfast featured an impressive selection of homemade cakes and fresh tropical fruits, elevating the experience each morning. Although the location was generally quiet, occasional noise from the kitchen above our room was mildly noticeable. The service was friendly but could have been more attentive during peak hours. The pool area, while picturesque, felt slightly cramped at times, especially when it came to sunbathing space.
