My friends and I stayed here following a recommendation from a friend of mine, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in the Green Coconut room for the first night, but the cockerel outside our window didn't seem to respect normal sleeping hours, so moved to the Blue Room for the rest of our stay. There were so many unique touches... More

My husband, daughter, and I stayed at Casa del Encanto for two nights in January as we were participating in the town's sailfishing contest. We arrived without a reservation and stayed in a downstairs room with a queen size bed and a twin bed out in the patio area. Laura is a gracious hostess but doesn't hover. She does know... More

My partner and I stayed here for 5 short days, and it was perfect. It was just what we were looking for, to get away....really get away and just breathe in life of a small coastal Mexican village. The room service and breakfast during our stay was great. Laura even helped us bring in in tamales one morning. The walk... More

We stayed at this B&B for a week and it was the most peaceful and relaxing! Our hostess Laura was helpful and very friendly. She knows the village very well and gave us great advice and tips. We love what she does for the village and the influence she has made for the children. Casa del Encanto is beautiful and... More

I have stayed at this B & B many times through the years. Laura is helpful and knowledgeable about everything in the village. Her place is charming and welcoming. Love it! I'll keep coming back.

I don't think one could pick a worse place to stay in Barra de Potosi. There seem to be other nicer, cleaner places. This place is falling apart and full of bugs. Ugg!

This review refers to a two night stay in Oct, 2011. When this person contacted me I informed her that I would be traveling and not onsite during her stay. I offered her a discounted rate as her stay would be during the rainy season and also because I would not be present. I did arrange to have a bilingual... More

To escape the grey/rainy Pacific Northwest weather this December, I booked a flight to the southernmost destination my airline mileage program would take me - Zihuatanejo. I've never taken a Spanish class so for my first trip to Mexico staying in American operated accommodations was a must. I found Casa del Encanto's owner, Laura, praiseworthy. Over my 2 night stay,...

If you want to stay in a wonderful little Mexican village and eat super-fresh seafood in palapa restaurants on a long undeveloped beach, stay at Laura's place. Her garden has hammocks and fountains and a communal breakfast table where you meet the most interesting people. If you want luxury and isolation from Mexican life, go to Ixtapa. But a vacation...

I arrived in Mexico a day ahead of my friends and family and needed a place to stay for one night. I wanted to stay somewhat close to the airport to facilitate meeting up the next day and I abhor staying in big hotels/resorts... in my search for a small B&B, I came across Casa Del Encanto and I shot...

We have been returning to this special place for the past 6 years. The first time we arrived from the airport and drove into this small village with unpaved streets, we thought we made a big mistake and wanted to turn around and go back to Zihua. But as we entered the grounds to this magical place, we knew it... More
