8.6/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)
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!
