Great location, our room was fantastic and quiet even though in the middle of a lot of action. The only thing is the pool was very small and very warm. Felt more like a hot tub in the sun. We had a car and there was affordable easy parking near by.

Generic hotel. Expensive for what you get. Room was very basic and window opened to courtyard so no privacy. Like an old school Holiday Inn. Almost 200 usd after all the fees. Clean but not nice place. Bed hard as a rock.

Such a very nice boutique hotel, clean, air conditioned and staff was great! Everything was right out the hotel…restaurants, shops, pharmacies!! the air conditioned was noisy especially for night time sleep plus I wish they had a mirror maybe a long one in the bedroom so one can get ready well the other is in the bathroom! Oh the swimming pool was on the roof top (we never used) but it look cozy and cute! Very well kept!

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.

The main property and common areas for this inn was beautiful with the landscaping being gorgeous. We were in “the annex” which also had lovely landscaping. The room was also nice but I would suggest they indicate you’ll be in the annex on the website. It was a little loud but nothing you wouldn’t expect being in the center of town. I would recommend they use better lighting in the room and some decor on a porch behind the room that was unused.

You can tell the front desk deals with disappointed customers daily about the annex. I knew it was a possibility from the reviews so no complaints from me but no friendliness from her. If it’s that much of an issue, warn people on your website. Just be nice and friendly. We still enjoyed the pool and the restaurant next door is excellent. I would return so don’t be afraid to stay there.

A real pretty place!! It’s like the White Lotus of Los Cabos. 😂 There is another building down the street with rooms. We booked a junior suite and she tried to put us down the street but I called her on it and she put us in the correct room. They have parking and are close to everything.

Beautiful Hotel close to all the actuon

Lovely spacious room in the Art District of San Jose del Cabo. Close to shops and great restaurants. The courtyard, pool area and common spaces are beautifully decorated and inviting. The only negative is that the area can be a bit noisy at night as it is near nightlife. Earplugs dd the trick for me but this could be an issue if you are a light sleeper. Everything else was exemplary.

We were a little disappointed. Mostly the room smelt damp, and this irritated my lungs / asthma. Little things missing - no matches to light candles (not one at reception or bar after 10pm to ask for matches).... air conditioning made large grinding / banging noise throughout the night.. curtains didn't pull across railings.... no help with luggage on arrival.... which we needed.... All in all, disappointed with this room / stay. Location is best thing.
