Linda A Romantic At Heart
This is what memories are made of!
We sent the reservation staff our story as to why El Encanto and why it was so last minute. Everyone and everything was amazing! They upgraded our room to assure us a fireplace like we requested and sent an anniversary cake with champagne and personal note! We were treated like royalty the entire time. The whole facility is gorgeous since being remodeled. The grounds are impecable. The staff very attentive. We normally cannot afford a place like this but were so glad we saved for this special occassion. To top it off the weather made the sunsets perfect. Thank you all...especially Laura McIver.

Amazing Mother's Day
This is the best place I have ever stayed at. I arrived with my daughter on Mother's Day 2013. I had reserved a simple room at a rate of $375/night. When we arrived, we were greeted by a very nice young lady. She informed me that our room was not ready; however, she would check to see what was available to check us in. After about five minutes, she came to get us from where we were seated and took us to the most amazing Craftsman Bungalow. She upgraded us several times. I could not be more appreciative. The entire staff was perfect. It is truly a perfect place - the food, the pool, the spa -- everything. They even gave us a free gift from the Cabana Home boutique in the hotel. I am planning on returning with my husband in July for our anniversary. Laurie S. Northern California
