Hacienda Encantada Resort & Spa

This review is long overdue. A month ago, July 8, I had an opportunity to stay at Hacienda Encantada in Cabo Mexico. This was my 3 time visiting Cabo and my second at Hacienda. The last time I as in Cabo was a trip with my entire family over 6 years ago. My girlfriend and I intended to go to an island in the Caribbean but because of availability and our schedules we decided to come to Mexico instead and we did not regret it. The resort looked very different from the last time with the additions of phase 3 and the Villas but the service was the same, Excellent. We were greeted with smiles, hot face clothes to freshen up after a 4 hour flight and cold margaritas. We had a room on the top floor overlooking the ocean which was exactly what I requested. The resort is well kept and the rooms very clean. Our housekeeper Draceli made sure it stayed that way the entire week. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to just kick back and relax. I love the amenities of the resort, Infiniti pools, spa and the restaurants but it is the great staff that makes this place tick. I highly recommend you eat at least one night at Barolo Italian Restaurant in the resort. The staff is unbelievable. We ate there 3 times. Be sure to make reservations. We were greeted each time with a warm smile form the hostess and Brenda and the staff of Jose’, Luis, Danel, Felix, and Cuelso provided top notch service. They provided great recommendations on wine and food. They always seemed to be having a good time. I’d read other review were people complained of carts not being available but we never had an issue. Whenever we needed somebody to drive us there was somebody around. The place is beautiful and enjoyed walking most of the time. The staff works very hard and they deserve to be tipped for their services. I did not choose the All-inclusive plan but I would recommend that if you plan to stay. I think you will find it is worth it. I have enjoyed visiting Cabo and especially staying at Hacienda I decided to become an owner. This place continues to grow but it has found a way to keep its small resort charm. I look forward to seeing the additions they are working on. So much so I decided to become an owner. I cannot wait to bring family and friends with us for years to come.

It is a gorgeous resort although being woken up at 7am by landscapers is not a good way to wake up when they are right outside your room. The housekeepers don't change sheets or actually clean anything while staying there. They change towels and make the bed. That's it. Kind of gross.

We had a quick but incredible few days at Hacienda Encantada. Service was awesome, room was great, and the food was also great. Favorites were Phase 2 pool and Phase 3 pool. Wasn't crazy about the pez gato sunset cruise that was recommended as it was more of a party boat but otherwise, we loved the resort and the people. We're already planning to come back next year and bring our kids this time!

My brother, cousins, friends, and myself chose this resort because we wanted somewhere nice and comfortable to stay for our trip, 6 days. We found this spot on Airbnb, and the pictures on there did no justice to how beautiful this place is. It was really breathtaking. I mean who can complain about anything when the Pacific Ocean is your backyard. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Manuel. Ohhhh he was so lovely! His smile very engaging and personable. They got our luggages together on one cart and the 7 of us on another to give us a tour. We stayed in La Huerta, which was right next to the pizza place on the resort. The resort had three pools, and my favorite was the one with the infinity pool. If you're like being in front of the camera or behind the camera, imagine taking pictures by the infinity with the Pacific Ocean in the background. Breathtaking!!! Theres a complimentary shuttle that comes to the resort every two hours that'll take you to their sister hotel. I can't remember the name but the hotel is writhing walking distance to the beach, mall, the pier, and downtown where the nightlife is. It's cheaper and far more convenient to take the shuttle than to pay for a taxi. There's another guy that works there, not sure of his position, but he greets you at your car. His name is Dennis, he and Manuel always wore the best smiles and asked about our day. How we are doing, if we needed any recommendations on where to go. Loved it. Guys, if you're looking for a place to stay, I highly recommend Hacienda Encantada!!!

Great spot! Location is quiet and relaxing. If you are looking for night life you will need to shuttle into Cabo. The pools and amenities are excellent. Staff is helpful. Plenty of golf nearby and other recreational activities.
