Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The rooms need some attention, very dated but more concerning is the cleanliness. Really need a good deep clean with walls, light switches, flooring and counter surfaces being dirty.
The grounds of resort are beautiful, food is great and staff is friendly!
Staff support was BAD,got double charged at the spa which has mold in the women’s room. Second time we got the EXACT SAME ROOM WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES FROM 2 YEARS AGO! Our hot tub would not get hot, lights did not work, bathroom tub wouldn’t hold water as the plug is cocked into the drain with actual cocking.. we of course express our issue immediately as we checked immediately and again they did move us to another room that had no issues. We wanted to give the resort a second shot because 1 we go on vacation to relax and enjoy. 2 the resort has a upgrade option to visit the sistering resorts & enjoy them well as much as we love that aspect the staff and the service has completely ruined the resort for us. Finding out at check out we got double charged for the spa our concierge made us go to the spa to get the charge fixed and as it was a booking error by BRIAN who books the services (week day specials) by the pool the spa staff said we had to pay for his mistake and would only allow this one time for it to be accommodated back to the original price?!?! I have never experienced staff actually arguing with me over their mistake and alone wording things as if we are lucky this time. My husband did get food poising but of course that could be from anything anywhere but the options to dining was not as open as it was 2 years ago if you do not have a reservation you CAN NOT DINE THERE! So we had pool side snacks almost the entire time because we do enjoy not planning DO BETTER
Staff was amazing. Clean room and resort. Foid was mostly delicious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Overall stay was great. Beautiful location and views. Most of the restaurants were good. Our worst meal was at Los Riscos. Very bad cut of steak. Fake, powerful mesquite flavoring. The signing of a bill (even though it was all inclusive) for everything gets really old. All of the pools were gorgeous. The most upsetting thing to us was after going to the pool I went back to the room to nap. Room had been already been cleaned by housekeeper. Hubby stayed at the pool. I woke up to a knock and thought I was dreaming. All of a sudden the door opens and I yell "I'm sleeping". The voice said "do you need anything". I firmly said "no"! This happened twice during our stay that a non-housekeeper used their key to come into our room when they didn't get a response after knocking. I highly recommend that if you don't want someone in your room when there or not to use the "do not disturb" sign. I've also read that it is kid friendly, however, I would say the average age of the guests was easily 55. We saw one family with small kids during our 5 days there. Just something to keep in mind for young families and younger vacationers looking for more of a party scene. Overall, the property is very clean and pretty, but it is older. We had a hole in the wall in the bathroom and a few tiles missing in the shower. Free shuttle goes into town every 2 hours, which is a great perk.
An amazing all-inclusive that checked ALL the boxes! Beautiful resort grounds, nice spacious room, friendly and helpful staff, outstanding 5 star dining… Along with incredible views and sunsets. Easily the best all inclusive we have ever stayed at!
My husband and I visited El Encanto All Inclusive at Hacienda Encantada for the 2nd time in December 2025.
We had the best time and definitely preferred 2 weeks over the way too short 1 week stay the 1st time around.
The grounds are stunning and so well kept, and we really enjoyed walking all around exploring the hidden fountains and the church.
Our room was clean and very comfortable, and we had the best sleeps because this Resort isn’t a party place, so noise wasn’t an issue during the night. And because we are Expedia Members, we were offered an ocean view room at no extra cost which made our trip that much more special.
Our meals in all of the à la carte and pool restaurants were very good, but our favourite lunch spot was La Pergola. Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had and my husband really enjoyed their fish tacos. Everyday we were welcomed with huge smiles and greetings from Margarita and Denis.
When not dining at an à la carte, we had lovely meals overlooking the ocean at Il Forno. Angel and Noe treated us exceptionally well whether we were just stopping in for a night cap or sitting down for a delicious dinner.
Barolo, the Italian restaurant, was exceptional. The host, Gabriel, was always accommodating and made sure we had everything that we needed.
Everyday we enjoyed the sun at El Patio. We always found the perfect spot on the sand, and bar none had the best service from Ingrid, Cesar, Omar, and Miguel.
We hope to be back again in the near future!
Great stay at a beautiful hotel. Amazing food and staff. Loved the rooftop pool

Disliked: Cleanliness
The grounds at Hacienda Encantada are beautiful, but unfortunately the facilities and service did not match the setting. Much of the property feels mismanaged and in disrepair. In our room, the towel rack fell off the wall when we hung a towel, and our porch lights never worked despite requesting maintenance.
We purchased the premium all-inclusive wristbands and felt misled by what was included. The lobster tail and other “premium” meals were underwhelming and often subpar, and the additional amenities did not justify the cost.
We also found one of our razors shattered in the shower. We can only assume this happened during cleaning, yet we were never notified, which was concerning.
The pools were not heated and frequently quite cold. When we asked staff for help with various issues, we were repeatedly told it was their first day and they didn’t know how to assist us.
One particularly frustrating moment was at breakfast, when we were told the espresso machine was broken—only to hear the same waitress taking espresso orders from another table 15 minutes later.
We’ve stayed at Pueblo Bonita properties before and decided to try something new this trip. Unfortunately, we were disappointed and will not be returning. This list could easily be longer, but there is a character limit.
I was quite dissapinted at first. This property does not have direct access to the beach which I've never seen for any all-inclusive resort which for me was a huge deal breaker and would never book it if I knew that. The second, the all-inclusive program is odd. When we were checking in, the lady told us that we only have standard all-inclusive and there's another all-inclusive so asked him if I want to upgrade for more money and asked if we wanted to upgrade. i have never seen anything like this before. All inclusive is all inclusive and felt deceived and didn't know what I was getting. Everything you eat there you get a billl fir and have to add tip. It's not like you could just walk into breakfast buffet and just leave, they give you a bill with prices (supposedly for the records) for everything, even when you're in the pool, i don't like that and again I've never seen anything like this before. We spoke with a couple other guests who had exactly the same impression. They also add some room charge which I didn't know about.. Also, this property is very spread out, so not really walkable. There are people who drive around in go-cards and drive you from place to place which is OK i guess ..On day 2, I kind of got used to the signing for everything we found our favorite spots to sit each day and we ended having a good time, so I guess it wasn't too bad, but will not choose this resort again.
also, the coffee maker in my room was very old and very outdated.
We’ve come here multiple times. The amenities are great and we really enjoy the breakfast buffet. Service for all inclusive members can be on the slower side, but we enjoy the variety and the shuttle to the marina. The rooms are clean and the staff is kind and helpful.
Beautiful resort , very well maintained , staff was very friendly and helpful, a bit understaffed in some areas but the staff available did their absolute best.
The food was above average, just make sure you inquire about what’s included in the all inclusive plan when you check in , as we were not informed room service was not included and ended up paying a hefty bill for one the the nights we got room service.
In all I highly recommend the resort and would go back in the future.
Pros:
1. Shuttle to marina every 2 hours.
2. Some(not all) waiters and chefs are kind and accommodating.
3. Beautiful views from resort.
Cons:
1. Very limited options for all-inclusive
2. Language issues- Most of the waiters/waitresses/cleaners cannot speak or understand English
3. Old buildings, old small rooms, old elevators, low maintenance. Elevators took forever to work.
4. All inclusive does not include 24 hours food availability, or coffee availability, no food available after 10pm as the limited number of restaurants included in the all-inclusive plan are closed after 10pm.
5. Cleaning service is slow and random(repeated requests for cleaning, some days were just missed).
6. Basic toiletries like razor, tooth paster, tooth brush are not provided. You need to pay a ridiculous price to get them.
7. Only breakfast options for vegetarians were potatoes, beans, fruit, yogurts, and different types of bread/pastries.
8. They force you to use their paid(expensive $85 for taxi, $100 for shuttle for family of 4) transportation to airport by not allowing uber/lyft inside their resort.
9. All inclusive is a joke with no food after 10pm, extra payment for room service, no coffee in any restaurant during lunch time, literally no vegetarian options for vegetarians.
10. Improper labeling of food items. Non vegetarian food like caesar salad, rice cooked in chicken broth were labeled vegetarian.
11. Bedding quality was not great, not cotton, making it uncomfortable to sleep in.
12.
We booked the Luxury Suite with a soaking pool on the balcony but were not given that room, despite booking months in advance. We were told it was unavailable, yet other guests signing for property ownership were shown those rooms while we were told they were occupied. We were not offered a credit due to the wrong room being given.
Staff and food were great, but carts were hard to get so we walked a lot. No real entertainment—resort is very quiet after 10pm.”
