El Encanto Inn & Suites

The hotel is in a nice location but right on the street so you'll hear traffic noise people talking and there's a bar down the street blasting music till 2:00 in the morning so don't expect to get a full night's sleep unless you're one of the people that are out carousing all night

We really liked this hotel and it worked well for our family of 6- two double rooms plus a suite that had a little kitchenette and was big enough for us to hang out as a gruop. We loved the location right on the best street of San Jose. The pool area is really pretty. But... it is pretty loud- unfortunately there are a couple of late-night bars/discos in the area. Ear plugs solved it for us, but be forewarned to bring ear plugs or a white noise machine

Amazing location here! You are in the heart of everything. Easy access to many bars and restaurants. Staff is friendly and patient. We stayed in the annex property across the street with a nice courtyard and banana trees. The pool is not heated but very refreshing when warm. Make sure to bring ear plugs as the live music scene is bumpin'. The courtyard in the main building is beautiful! We would have preferred to stay in main building with pool and beautiful courtyard but no rooms were available. I noticed that B**king dot com distinguishes this fact when booking rooms where as Hotels dot com does not. Hotels dot com I think could do a little better here! I would also recommend some softer pillow options as well as a pillow top bed. I'd also recommend putting some general recommendations for staff favorites on restaurants/bars and stuff to do. Overall, we had a nice stay, in a historical neighborhood with friendly staff and we would come back. I heard this place is women and Mexican owned which is a plus!

We came back to El Encanto Inn after a five year break and found it to be much the same; a charming boutique hotel in a safe friendly town. The pool area and surrounding garden were lovely; a little oasis of tranquility in the busy el Centro area. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A few things around the room could be updated like putting fans in the bathrooms, but all in all a genuine Mexican style hotel with colourful decor.and comfy beds. It's very near stores and many restaurants - a few bars nearby a bit noisy, but earplugs help. Easily walkable to the beach and the estuary. Fun night time activities with the local people on the Plaza de Mijares at night. Will return again to this lovely place.

The hotel was quaint and charming and perfectly located in the heart of the center. However, the music from surrounding bars and restaurants was very loud and didn’t stop until 3-4am!!

It’s not clear that rooms are located across the street next to a very loud bar. We have two kids. This is not what we expected or wanted when we made the reservation. Terrible.

Lovely little Inn in the Art District of San Jose del Cabo. Friendly staff, lovely pool and the restaurant next door Habanero's is great and will deliver food and drinks poolside! Rooms poolside were perfect and convenient.

I have stayed at this property at least a dozen times but this will be my last stay. They need to clean paint and update, it went from a unique boutique motel to a old run down overly exspensive motel

This hotel is a charming and delightful, old world boutique hotel right in the middle of San Jose Del Cabo. The rooms are very clean, the bed very comfortable, and the furniture nicely chosen in good taste. I love that our room opens out onto the area with the pool. At this time of year I didn’t see anybody use the pool as it is quite cold, and the weather is not enough to heat it The gardens are nicely kept and have some fascinating sculptures and other accent pieces. What would I like to see to make this charming hotel even more appealing? It would be great to have more shelf and storage space. Apart from one small chest of drawers, we were basically living out of our suitcases. It’s a small grouse but the coffee machine for morning coffee is pathetic and barely supplied one cup of coffee of any strength. But a redeeming quality is the excellent coffee and breakfast restaurant right across the street! This hotel is not for someone who likes the large all inclusive hotels, but someone who needs to be in the centre of this charming town, where the action is, and who likes quiet, relaxing, and tasteful surroundings. There is a restaurant, run separately, but attached to the hotel. We were happy to dine there the first night. But then we wanted to explore, the many excellent restaurants throughout the city.
