My wife and I enjoyed three nights at this charming, cozy unassuming property. Staff genuinely cared and always delivered high quality service with smiles and warm personalities. Spotless rooms, top notch beds and linens. Great menus, excellent breakfasts and if you choose the Abalone on the dinner menu it is sublime and to die for. We will return.

Beautiful grounds and impeccable service. Highlights were the pool and the best sleep at a hotel I’ve ever had.

We're locals that have always wanted to stay at El Encanto, and finally did for my wife's 50th birthday. The staff were great, the room was next-level, Spanish style architecture very SB, and our overall experience was enchanted. We stayed in 1906, and wow. Incredible living space, bedroom, bathroom, and front deck. This may become our new go-to for very special getaways. The live music the evening we stayed (Thurs) was very talented. Jazz professionals having fun is always a good time. A jazz lounge it was. Highly recommended for a memorable stay.

The overall property is beautiful and tranquil with great views, the quality of the room was exceptional and the staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. Really enjoyed drinking wine at the fire pit while taking in the views. Overall we loved our stay.

We loved our 3 days stay for a wedding reception at El Encanto. Staff were excellent and the resort is so pleasant with a warm (85 degrees) swimming pool not to miss. Also enjoyed the loaned electric bikes for a visit to downtown Santa Barbara and the marinas. EV was definitely needed on the way back and up the hills to the hotel.

Rooms were very well done, and the amenities are all great. And everyone that worked there was incredibly nice and extremely helpful. It was a really good stay and we would definitely go back. I also love that they have free loaner e-bikes so you can take them into town rather than driving (or go wherever you want with them) - it's a great option. We didn't like that any time we wanted ice we had to call the front desk for it to be brought to us, and we didn't like that there aren't any water stations. We also thought the food service was a little off - at dinner they brough my appetizer and 15 minutes later realized they hadn't brought my wife's - that just an example but it seemed to happen repeatedly and at every meal. That said, their breakfast was fantastic - the huevos rancheros (sp?) were amazing!

Beautiful property. However I think we got sick after using the pool in the evening 6:15p-7p. There is no jacuzzi. We woke at 3a with cold symptoms. Unfortunately getting sick makes me hesitant to return.
