My husband and I got married at El Encanto Inn this past April. I can't say enough about this charming boutique hotel. The service was top-notch (Eduardo is a true gentleman and a master at hospitality), the rooms were clean and decorated beautifully, the pool and landscaping were extremely well-kept and the spa was amazing! Almost everyone in our group... More

Right in the heart of the Art District in San Jose Del Cabo, this charming hotel offers a quaint and comfortable stay. Extremely clean, accommodating, friendly staff and a beautifully tranquil central pool area and gardens make this Inn a 'must stay' if you yearn to be away from the thick of the busy touristy area's. The grounds are shared... More

The hotel has a great, central location just a few blocks from San Jose center. Find within the same quaint block several restaurants, including the Baja Brewing Co., Thai, Italian, and a wifi-enabled coffee shop; as well as a few art galleries.

Location, location, location. If you want the downtown experience. Only two blocks from the Mission Church and Main Square. And on the edge of the Thursday evening Art Walk. The galleries stay open from 5-9pm Thursdays from Nov-June. We had a 2BR 1 bath with full kitchen and living and dining area. Quiet ceiling fans and AC if you want.... More

The historic Encanto Inn in San Jose is a lovely hideaway with comfortable luxury poolside. This hotel is worth checking out, the staff are fabulous and the rooms are very comfortable. The location is right downtown San Jose,perfect for the Thursday night art walk.

We made a last minute change in plans to spend a couple of days in San Jose del Cabo after several in Todos Santos. We felt fortunate to end up at the El Encanto. The room was large and comfortable, although a bit dark in the bathroom. The bathroom is created by a high wall that is more of a... More

After visiting La Paz and Loreto we thought it was time for Cabo. Not San Lucas, but the real Cabo, Cabo del San Jose. We read too many reviews online and in travel books. I had no desire to have the mega-resort, all-inclusive, don't-experience-real-local-life experience. I finally called El Encanto direct and spoke with Eduardo. That call sealed the deal.... More

Originally booked a room in the second building down the street - it's nice enough, but feels way more motel-y than the main building, which has the courtyard and pool that you see advertised. So we upgraded...pricey, but we think worth the splurge in the end. Courtyard is very peaceful and lovely, and the pool is great. We had a... More
