This place is very pretty, private, quiet, and is VERY tastefully decorated with local art and materials. The little pool is lovely since you're not on the beach. The breakfast is delicious. It's worth staying here and walking... less than 1 km, but if you are walking at Caribbean pace that could take you 20 minutes... to the national park... More

We stayed at El Encanto for two nights, and were so happy to have found it. Brigitte and Daniel the new owners, are successfully adding their mark to a beautiful B&B/small hotel. We stayed in a small cabin room with comfortable queen bed, night tables and lamps (not found everywhere in C.R), bathroom/shower with hot water, and a small outside... More

The inn is in a relatively secluded area right accross the road from the beach. There is an off-street parking area for your car. You are within easy walking distance of the downtown restaurants and bars as well as the park. The rooms and are comfortable and they have a "retreat area" that they use for massages if you want...

We stayed here throughout our stay in Cahuita and it was simply great. The bungalow is spacious, clean and well kept. The only "bad" thing is that they are not really sound proof - you can actually hear your neighbour flush their toilet, This was something a couple arriving after us were not aware so we ended up hearing a...

El Encanto Inn stood out as one of the highlights of our holiday in Costa Rica. Magical place and wonderful home cooked breakfasts and fresh fruit every morning. We are hopeful to return again in future. We also loved Cahuita and enjoyed the local resturants very much. More

We started our holiday in Cahuita. This was a great place to be in our first days. We could relax in the nice garden with small pool. Our cabin was wonderfull and clean with nice terrace with hammock. The breakfast was very good. It was in walking distance from Cahuita and the sea. A very nice and unique place! More

Let me begin by stating that my experience at this Inn was influenced by my dislike of the town of Cahuita. Rather than finding it to have a "laid back carribean vibe", our family thought Cahuita was a trash infested mess full of indifference. We will not be returning. Of this hotel I can say the following: in an otherwise... More

I was definetely expecting this comment and I'm quite ready for the answer. When Jenny arrived I asked her how she did like her room, and she said it was a bid downgrade compared to the luxurious hotel they were coming from ! It made me feel really bad. They hated Cahuita , I cannot believe you can dislike this... More

Stayed here for 3 nights with my fiance, and we loved it. Had our own bungalow. The room was clean and the bathroom with large. Was great having the refreshing swimming pool nearby and the garden was full of wildlife. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was yummy. The inn was a short walk from the National Park and...

This was an amazing place to stay. I got some bad news about my family during my stay and the owner went out of her way to help me and offer me support. I couldn't have asked for a more healing place. On the other hand I was there with my boyfriend and we were in absolute awe. The landscape... More
