Reviews for Belmond El Encanto
We have the most amazing stay with El Encanto. We stayed for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon. On arrival we was greeted by valet parking and extremely polite and professional employees. We were given a room upgrade which was a lovely treat for us, on arrival we have a plate of chocolate covered strawberries as a congratulations. Our room was beautiful and it was well equipped for our stay, everything was thought of. We really enjoyed the breakfast and had dinner one evening overlooking Santa Barbara, this was lovely. The staff from housekeeping to management make you feel special and nothing is too much trouble. We used the shuttle service frequently to have a break from our long road trip and the guys were so friendly, recommending everything for us and ensuring we was enjoying ourselves. The stay was pricey but it as well worth the money, we had a great time and it really was such a special part of our honeymoon.

The property is beautiful and tranquil. Love having breakfast and drinks in the evening at the patio with the most amazing views of Santa Barbara. Our room was far from the lobby so there was a lot of walking but we didn't mind it. The room and bathroom was very spacious.

Great view. Great service. Great food. Great room. Can't say enough about this place. Definitely will stay again! Staff was very friendly and well trained. Made you feel at home. Grounds were spectacularly beautiful. Room was spacious and well appointed. Internet reception on Wu-Di was excellent given the expansive grounds. If you go to Santa Barbara consider staying here

Very close to Santa Barbara Center, but still out in the green. Beautiful set up of the cottages in a amazing garden. A dream of a hotel. Just the Food could be better, as well as part of the Service. I write part of the service, because some of the people are incredible nice and professional and some are... rather the opposite. The location, the rooms, the garden that's already a must to be seen!
