Very nice ocean front cottage. Facility is well kept throughout. Room is clean and has personal touch. Entire facility is not big so ocean is really steps away from all rooms. We walked on beach in Early morning, breakfast and I did Yoga and kids did surf lesson. We only stayed 2 nights but could definitely stay longer. We will come back. Thank you for the hostility.

We had a fantastic stay at Encantada. The staff is amazing!!! Kate, Adam, Daniel and the rest of the crew were so friendly, nice and helpful. The rooms were comfy and right on the beach. You can walk the beach for miles. The food was WONDERFUL!!! Try the banana pancakes! The reviews that were not very positive on Tripadvisor are from years ago and I believe with a different owner. We stayed at 6 different hotels during our visit to Costa Rica because we wanted to experience the entire country. Encantada was by far our favorite place to stay. It is not close to many restaurants or nightlife. It is a 20 min cab ride to Manual Antonio Park - which is really fun and you see lots of monkeys, sloths, and they have a beach to swim in. It is also a short cab ride into Jaco, the "big city" of the area if yo want nightlife. Overall, if you are looking for a relaxing, clean, local kind of place to chill, do some yoga, and enjoy the beach this is the place.

This place is a gem! It's tucked away about 30 min from Jaco on a private beach. The place is beautiful. The cottages have some of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on and are absolutely adorable. The staff is beyond amazing. Everyone is extremely friendly and willing to help. One day we wanted coconuts and the surf instructor Roger climbed up a tree to get us some. We had dinner there our last night and it was delicious and breakfast every morning. They would have our table set ready for us. If I could give this place a 10 I would. If you're traveling to relax and disconnect this is the place. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent little "boutique " hotel on the beach. SO, SO relaxing: excellent staff, wonderful food, very comfortable and tastefully decorated cottages, great yoga and perfect beach. If you need some relaxing down time, it is the ideal place to hide out. We were very content just parking the car and staying put!! Thank you, we shall return - great find!!!

The owners are very attentive to everyone's need.

The room was clean and very well decorated. The dinner was fantastic. The chef would grill your meal right infront of you. The owners were there and made sure we got directions to places we needed to go (as Costa Rica roads, have literally no signs) and arranged for activities with the local guides there were a good 30% lower than advertised prices.

Check in a las 3 y el check out a las 11, la cocina la cierran a las 8pm, hay gatos que los dejan que se acuesten en las mesas donde se come.

Thanks Karolyn! Lots of people end up just relaxing on the beach once they get here even though there is so much nearby to explore; I love just watching the tide changing all day and day to day! The ocean here truly is an amazing piece of nature.
