Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of November. This was our 3rd stay at this property. From our first stay til our most recent, the condition of the property has declined significantly. The grounds and rooms are showing signs of neglect. Previously, the property was well kept with an on site restaurant and bar as well as a small shop. Those no longer exist. My biggest complaint would be that we were charged $300.00 more than what we booked for on Expedia. While our stay was uneventful, the condition of the property and the suprise cost would keep us from choosing to stay here in the future.

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.
