Hacienda Encantada Resort & Spa

We had such a wonderful 5 days. The resort is so beautiful and so are the people. All the the employees were so wonderful. They all went above and beyond for us. There were a few employees that stuck out Brenda from riscos, Dorian from la trajinera, Fidel from valet, Danny (boy) from golf carts and the wonderful Ulises from il forno. We are definitely going back next year and we hope these awesome people will still be there.

Absolutely amazing. 5 stars. 2 thumbs up. Every employee we talked to was helpful and pleasant.The food and drinks were amazing. Both Cesars are such delightful waiters, and Elena is a wonderful bartender! Very fun! The resort is just gorgeous with a great location, and the views breathtaking.

TAKE YOUR CREDIT CARD and ABOUT 40 ONE DOLLAR BILLS FOR TIPPING! The staff don't deal with cash other than tips.This place and staff were wonderful! Since I was alone, and don't eat or drink much (one alcoholic drink a day) I chose not to partake of the all-inclusive offer for $107 per day. When they realized I was alone they went out of their way to help me with everything. Marvin, Marco, and Roman were true sweethearts! The studio had shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, sewing kit and a shoe polisher, hair drier. The bed was very comfortable. The alarm clock was funky so I used my iPad as an alarm. The balcony furniture was clean and comfortable. The free wifi was sufficient for my needs. (Facebook/e-mail) I called the golf cart any time I wanted to go to one of the restaurants (I tipped the driver a dollar each time I got a ride) or to catch the shuttle ($5 each way) to go to the Marina. The kitchen coffee maker was odd too and leaked all over the counter. It's so different that they actually show you how to use it when they take you to your room. There's a little store on the grounds and it has food/coffee stuffs. The restaurant I most enjoyed was El Riscos. The food, service and view was wonderful. Not all of the restaurants on the grounds were open everyday and the days they are open change each week. So ask for an updated schedule. There are 5 restaurants at the Marina that are either owned or somehow connected to this resort. They're expensive. So walk a bit to the left and around the corner and instead of paying $4+ for an iced tea you can get one for $2. I listened to the "timeshare speel and tour" (3.5 hours) and got a $50 certificate and a reduced price snorkle boat tour. I used the certificate at the Marina Baja Lobster Co. restaurant (connected with this resort) and only ended up adding $18 - ($9 of it was the tip) The middle pool with the swim-up bar was my favorite. It was the one without the sandy beach area. That one was really busy and NOT quiet. Okay now the down side...I didn't want to rent a car so... I e-mailed the place before I went and arranged for transportation to the resort. That was $25; not unexpected. But I couldn't pre-book transportation back to the airport to leave! I had to wait until the morning of my flight to see if anyone else was going to the airport. As it turned out, no one was, so I had to pay double ($50 - $25 for me and $25 for an invisible person) instead of just $25. I could have taken a taxi but that would've cost $70! Their transportation union is nuts there. Something about shuttles not being allowed to carry luggage??? The place and staff are great though and you get to choose all inclusive or not...they list everything you get. Also a side note in general: be sure to keep that little slip of paper you get upon entering Mexico with your passport. Otherwise you will pay to leave.

We own a 2 bedroom unit in this wonderful resort and have enjoyed every time we stay here! The staff is wonderful! Ocean views are spectacular! Room Service available, shuttle rides in to Cabo and friendly housekeeping staff.

Hacienda Encantada is an exceptional resort that holds all commodities for your vacation needs. The pools are great, the view is stunning, the room is comfy and all the hosts are friendly and nice. Dennis was assisting us during the whole week with the valet and his service is amazing.
