What guests say
“El Encanto was absolutely amazing. My fiancée and I stayed there this weekend, and everything about the experience was perfect. The location and views were fantastic, and the hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful, and elegant. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the service. From the valet to the front desk and every staff member we interacted with, the customer service was outstanding. Everyone had a great attitude, made us feel welcomed, and went above and beyond. Most importantly, I have to give a special thank you to Ja” — Oscar Castellon
“Where do I begin? Our experience here was simply phenomenal! Tucked away in the hills, hidden from the hustle and bustle of State and Cabrillo, this place served as our sanctuary. The Grounds were green and lush, the Walkways well maintained, the Suite was IMMACULATE and the Staff professional, courteous, respectful, helpful and kind. From Nick the manager of Guest Accomodaitons to Nolan with Valet, Shannon at the Front Desk, Geo with maintenance, the crew running the restaurant, housekeeping and everyone in between, we were made to feel at home and welcome. Enjoying the peace and tranquility ” — A&A Grajeda
“El Encanto IS enchanted, celebrating 100 years this year and is a historical site. We received tasty bourbon and lemon "Welcome" drinks upon arrival, they were so delicious that I ordered them at dinner, I guess I'm a bourbon girl after alll. It's so beautiful here, I highly recommend it if you stay in Santa Barbara! Great staff and gorgeous grounds. You can smell jasmine as you walk through brick pillars near the lilly pond, which is just loaded with plant life. The massage yesterday was very relaxing and the eucalyptus steam room was much needed afterwards. The food was delicious and is 19.5” — Sibyl Margaretis
