    A very high professionalism of the staff, except in the restaurant where the waiters were a little lost, which is rather rare for a hotel in this category.

    Wonderful hotel, well-maintained rooms, the staff was incredibly nice. I greatly enjoyed the room on path with less privacy, the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Marvellous location, Santa Barbara airport was 12 miles away.

    The staff at El Encanto were super friendly. The rooms were beautifully decorated and unique, with a fireplace, a nice big bed, and a wonderful bathroom. The location of the hotel is amazing and incredible, not very far from Riviera Theatre. The restaurant at the hotel offers great food with impeccable service.
