The rooms need major cleaning and a bit of upgrading. I think overall the photos you portray on your website versus what you get when you arrive is completely different. We always stay at the Rosewood and we wanted to change it up and try this hotel for the first time and sadly it was a bit of a disappointment. I definitely think a deep cleaning is necessary for your rooms. The fact that we had to change rooms three times and when I say we’re not complainers, I truly mean it. It’s just that each room had an issue. The first room was great. It was just too small so we wanted to upgrade the second room had an ant infestation in front of the room and so many bugs inside we killed about 10 bugs the night before, but it was so late that we had to just go to bed. The next day we told them and they moved us into our third Room , which was a beautiful room however there was a large P stain on the rug and the the room smell smelled like pee and at that point, we were too embarrassed to say can you move us again and also lugging all of the things back-and-forth from one room to the next was also not convenient considering we were there for a wedding.

We stayed for two nights in August and had a wonderful experience. Valet and reception were attentive and we were upgraded to a lovely top floor villa room with a big balcony. The room was charming and well maintained, with every modern amenity you can imagine. We ate one night at the hotel which was fine, but not amazing, and the only real minor issue here is service at dinner and for breakfast is very slow. The pool was fabulous, always with bed availability, despite its small size. A real classic gem that we hope to come back to soon.

We had a beautiful holiday at El Encanto that lives up to its name. This was a huge treat for us and the place delivered. Take your camera, around every corner is an Instagram moment.

This hotel is so beautiful. We didn't want to leave. We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and everything from the greeting at the valet to all the dining options, to the luxurious swimming pool was exemplary. I hesitate to leave such a glowing review because I don't want it to be over crowded!

We recently stayed at El Encanto, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everyone was very welcoming and attentive. The location is stunningly beautiful and peaceful, offering the best view in town. The restaurant was top-notch, and the pool was fantastic, Trevor did a wonderful job making everyone feel welcome and cared for in the pool area. Armando, the assistant front office manager, was exceptional. He took us to the spot in the hotel with the best view for pictures of the town, and, provided us with excellent recommendations for places to visit. We will definitely be going back!
