I'm in absolute disbelief at the positive reviews about this hotel. I use TripAdvisor for all my travel plans, but this time the reviews were SO WRONG. I thought we'd arrived at the wrong place! The Encantada Ocean Cottage hotel is DISGUSTING. I'm also ashamed that it's taken me this long to write my review, but I just wanted to... More

We loved our stay here. The place is simple, yet amazingly beautiful. There are 6 basic cabins surrounding a large and lovely pool and a stunning beach through the archway. We lounged in the hammock on the beach and looked into the palms and saw red macaws fly by overhead. We swam in the warm and clean ocean. We walked... More

We returned here due to a transportation issue (road closed to where we were supposed to stay) and decided to stay here for the 3 nights. What a great move. First off, the room furnishings and linens seemed to be recently updated. The room we stayed in had a very comfortable king size bed (hard to find in CR). There... More

Fun place with surfboards direct access to the beach with no one on it! Quiet place to relax and away from the bustle of Jaco. Highly reccomend it. Traveled with a toddler and an infant. Easy and safe. Fruit and toast for breakfast and access to the kitchen if you need to cook for yourself. Hammocks and bocce balls included! More

What a WONDERFUL place!! It is just amazing! Our experience was fantastic! Paradise to tell the truth! Magnificent place, warm welcome, attention and delicacy of the staff. More

The place is well located - far enough, yet close enough to Jaco . The cabins are decent - nothing spectacular, but very roomy. The atmosphere was really nice. The pool was large and a good temp. It is right on the ocean, and a very nice beach with shells and mellow waves. The breakfast was acceptable (not the best,... More

Hell yeah! Secluded, clean, friendly and wonderful staff, reasonably priced, etc.. all that is truth. We ended with some bug bites, but I guess that's just part of the trip too. :) More
