Such a very nice boutique hotel, clean, air conditioned and staff was great! Everything was right out the hotel…restaurants, shops, pharmacies!! the air conditioned was noisy especially for night time sleep plus I wish they had a mirror maybe a long one in the bedroom so one can get ready well the other is in the bathroom! Oh the swimming pool was on the roof top (we never used) but it look cozy and cute! Very well kept!

Lovely quaint decor and garden. Staff was great. A little noisy at night. The eco-shower head is inefficient due to lack of water pressure and heat.

El Encanto lives up to its name!

My daughter-in-law was able to get the suite she wanted. The rooms were clean and attractive. I loved the pool area and the restaurant. The neighbourhood is filled with outstanding art and craft stores. I couldn't recommend this hotel more.

We had a wonderful week-long stay. The staff was very helpful and kind. The location is ideal. We felt lucky to be right in the historic district. Amazing restaurants feet away. Others have mentioned noise, but we simply used earplugs on festive nights. We plan to return.
