"Always my go to place to stay if it’s available. Wonderful staff, food and location! I love that I can never leave the resort but still have an amazing time after it rained the entire time my previous visit. And even better to come back to after a day out playing in the area and relaxing on the beach for sunset while enjoying one of their many cocktails. It is also reassuring to see the same people working there year after year."

"This was a hallmark getaway for my wife and I on our honeymoon as well a milestone birthday. The staff was amazing, the venue was perfect, food was Michelin quality and the experience we had was perfectly well rounded, 5-star. A diamond in the rough! Thank you, Encantada! You have a friend for life"

"Great location! The staff were friendly, the property is cute. Upkeep though probably could use a boost, the rooms needed some maintenance. I would stay again "

The hotel w as better than we expected, well worth the prize tag. It us away from the main town and the access to the beach is great... Easterbrook you see the sunset from the private beach. You will be blown away. The road to get there is a dirt road in the last kilometre but do not let this deter you. A piece of advice, try the shrimp hole nearby for lunch or dinner.

Very quiet place, with a good sized pool & brilliant staff. They couldn't do enough for us
Superb wifi (even down on the shoreline) helped us & our translate app greatly

Water pressure in the shower was average. Comfy bed, fluffy towels good air con

We loved the quirkiness of this location, as well as the proximity to the beach. Andrea was so so lovely and helpful and made some excellent recommendations for how to spend our time, as well as putting us in touch with an excellent guide for a day out. We loved the personal touches and that everything was local and/or homemade

It really is the Garden of Eden. Beautiful tropical lush pool area and restaurant. Staff absolutely wonderful. Could not do enough for you. Food and homemade lemonade delicious. Loved the private beach garden area. Beautiful sunsets. Easy access to Tamarindo resort area. Would highly recommend.

The view matches the name of the hotel. Beat ifully maintained by Sandra and Florian. Access to the small parking area is up a steep hill. There is a bit more parking on the road. Great breakfast, we preferred the 'Organic'choice - recommended. Small pool perfect for morning swims. We stayed for three nights, exploring the area by car, and had our lunches and dinners en route. This strategy worked well for us as we were not interested in any nightlife.

We LOVED our stay at this secluded gem. It is situated on a gorgeous beach with almost nobody else in sight. The villa was very well designed, with very comfortable beds. The staff were amazing and added a very personal touch. The food menu was fairly limited in size as there aren’t many guests but the food was all delicious. I tried food at the nearby resort which was supposed to be stand out, and actually preferred Encantada. The yoga classes with Christina really stood out as the highlight of...

We had booked 3 days at the Marriott for a family wedding and then 3 days in Tamarindo with a final 3 days left open. We actually went back to the Marriott for the final 3 days at we had been spoilt by the comfort and relaxed atmosphere of the place. Plus we got it about 20% cheaper the second time round. Little touches such as real hand towels in all the restrooms around the hotel make a big difference. The style is Universal American but with excellent finishing - not like one of the resort...

Absolutely beautiful place, lovely welcome by staff who could not have done more to make us feel at home. The grounds are well kept and the pool areas are stunning. Our room (Nesto suite) was large and comfortable. Would definitely return!

This hotel is wonderful! Opposite Cocles beach, with its own beach club, it has a wonderful tranquil pool where you can just chill out. ALL the staff are wonderful, and can't do enough for their guests. The food is great - breakfast around the carp pool is spectacular. Our rooms were cleaned every day by the wonderful friendly staff and with the unique twist of the room colours being changed every day. I really recommend this hotel if you are planning a stay in Puerto Viejo.

We loved staying here and didn't want to leave: great relaxed atmosphere out of the slightly hectic Puerto viejo. Lovely little room, we had a room with shared bathrooms and those were great - super clean and comfortable. The outside area is unbeatable: a restaurant area under a palm tree rooftop that is built around a tree, and more seating and hammocks in the shade of palmtrees on the beach.
To swim, check with staff or the lifeguard where it is safe (further up north of the beach, two...

This hotel and staff is up there with one of the best we have stayed in. We stayed in a deluxe room. We didn't have a view of the beach and having been I would recommend the extra £ for a villa.
The pool area is lovely and relaxed. The seaside restaurant does amazing food. Dinner/breakfast is superb at the fine dinning restaurant. You don't need to dress up and on warm nights we ate in the room as it was too hot for us to eat and not sweat! The staff are great in both restaurants and on the...
