Encantada Ocean Cottages

Pulling up to the gates at Encantada we knew this would be a magical experience! This is our second time hosting a yoga retreat in Costa Rica and Encantada was an incredibly relaxed and easy experience. The food was great, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and the weather was perfect in the beginning of April. The cabinas are exactly as pictured and the entire space is located right on the beach, giving our large group of people enough space to be solo or hang out in smaller groups. We loved the privacy of the space and the beach and would highly recommend hosting a retreat here!

Everything was just perfect. Spotless clean, very comfortable beds and ammenities, superfriendly staff and delicious food and drinks for reasonable prices. The sunset on the long beach in front of the property is just amazing. Thought it would be more crowed - was booked but not stuffed.

Beautiful spot, super comfortable beds, clean and well kept everywhere, lovely yoga platform and free access to games, books and yoga equipment. There is a place to rinse clothing and hang them up behind each cabin and a comfortable lounge bed in front to chill around the pool. The restaurant is so pretty and Thursday night life music and happy hour on the beach were great fun. Its fantastic for everyone who wants to get up early and go to bed early (great for us!). You can easily connect with others staying there or keep to yourself. It's never loud (except for the neighbors dogs sometimes) and the water pressure in the room showers is very low, but the outdoor showers are super. The food is good and there is coffee ready at 6am for anyone wanting to watch the sunrise. Definitely would go back!

Beautiful, friendly atmosphere. A+ hospitality. Comfortable and clean accommodations. Stunning property on a stunning expanse of beach. Delicious food, delicious margaritas. We loved our stay here. Thank you Encantada! Would definitely stay here again!

So peaceful and relaxing! Everyone I met from this resort was pleasant and helpful. The pool was a bit warm, but clean. I stayed in the studio room which was located behind the laundry/housekeeping facilities. It got a bit loud in the morning, but I didn't mind. The employees definitely made up for the early wake up by being so nice and accommodating! I will definitely be back!

We had the smallest room possible which was excellent! AC very functional, great shower/toulet if you’re past your 1st date. It’s small but accommodates a couple in love. We were lucky enough to land just when we most excellent band was setting up for a sunset session with tacos and happy hour festivities. Long walks on the beach at sunset is not just a cliche.

I cannot say enough about how perfect my trip was to Encantada Cottages. Breathtaking views and landscaping in every direction, private and secluded beachfront, daily yoga, friendly and gracious staff, lovely cabanas w comfy beds only steps from the pool and beach, and amazing food and drinks. The sunset happy hour is a daily treat, and live music on Thursdays w the locals was extra special! If you host a retreat here or just want to get away from it all in a quiet little piece of paradise, Encantada is the place for you! Pura Vida ♥️

We had the best experience they helped with activities in Costa Rica and the rooms are quite cozy that was the best experience would definitely go back again the staff are very amazing and are the best that they could be this was an amazing trip!!!!!!!

The location of Encantada Ocean cottages is superb, situated right on a long unspoilt, undeveloped sandy beach. The hotel has its own cabanas, loungers etc on the beach. The whole hotel is very attractive and the pool area offered very comfortable loungers and cabanas, open 24hrs a day. The food in the restaurant was excellent, cooked on a outside wood fired grill and also offered local craft beer. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed yoga on the beach (note this is at extra cost but very reasonable and the hotel provided a free smoothy at the end of the session). We stayed for 2 nights as we were touring the Pacific coast but if Costa Rica wasn't a 12hr flight from London we would definitely come for a week's beach holiday. The only issue we encountered during our stay was noise from the neighbouring properties dogs who were obviously barking at wildlife early in the morning. However, most rooms in the hotel did not back onto this property - ours was one of only two on the opposite side of the pool from the reception area.
