Beach Hotels & Resorts in El Encanto from NZ$130

"Staff incredibly patient, kind and helpful. Well cared for and clean. Staying in the newer building was a plus without elevators. Lots of dairy and gluten free options :) Do yourself a favour and join the Riu facebook group to get all the ins and outs before you arrive! "

"Clean rooms, wonderful staff and small to get around easily. Easy access to beach and pool. "

"Everything was perfect. Relaxing atmosphere with live entertainment in the afternoon. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options. The evening buffet had a different theme every night. For those who play it safe with food options they also offered pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and french fries. The snack bars had plenty of options from hamburgers, fries, nachos, fried rice, chicken and shrimp chow mein, and sushi. The servers were wonderful. Everyone was friendly and wanted to make sure you were taken care of. Rooms were cleaned and re-stocked daily. The only issue (and it wasn't terrible after being in the sun all day) the water for showering didn't get very warm. "

"They do not respect the reservation, a horrible place"

"Clean room, pleasant atmosphere . Papagayo restaurant was delicious on site. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Great location, clean rooms and friendly staff but needs major upkeep as well as room renovations . "

"Water was never hot, often not warm. Breakfast never changed from one day to the next and was not good."

"The hotel is older but spotless! The staff were welcoming. Our room was facing the ocean. The room was large and had a full size fridge. The beds were firm but very comfortable. We booked the room with breakfast which was very convenient. This is not a five star resort but we were extremely happy with the hotel. It was nice to see Mexican people enjoying the hotel and ocean!
