Location

Stayed in April 2024

A nice little apartment with everything we we needed for a two night stay. The pool was great for morning and evening dips. It is within walking distance to the beach, shops, places to eat and bars. The staff were friendly.

Good ventilation in the unit, water pressure and heating worked great. Host was also very responsive when we needed help with the heater. Impressed with how well stocked the kitchen is (cutlery, appliances, kitchen ware), this will definitely be a good option for longer stays. Small families will also be comfortable here. Not too far from the main tourist street in Jaco too.

A little tiny but it absolutely didnt bother us!

Cindy went above and beyond! Amazing host! Super cute property in a great location close to the beach. Fun pool for the kids

Stayed in March 2023

We would’ve liked to stay longer than two nights. Convenient to everywhere and grocery, panadería, beach. Well appointed kitchen.

Upgraded apartment gave our family lots of extra space to spread out. The area around was quiet and Jaco in general was quieter, more charming, and more fantastic vibe, than expected from reviews I’ve seen. Only those who expect a whole town to be kept up like an all inclusive or Disney would be disappointed. It is a charming real place. Much much nicer than Quepos. We drove there and found it very hot, industrial and busy city feel. Not a beach town. Rocks and no good tourist area.

Modern, well equipped, lovely little pool, very friendly staff.

Stayed in February 2023

Apartment with a kitchenette, but one has no space to set a cutting board or coffee machine. Bed in parents room not comfortable. Less decorations and more practical stuff would be good

Nice people and convenient location if you have a car.

More kitchen supplies.cooking appliances could use an upgrade.

There was no breakfast. Location was good, with a healthy walk to downtown and beach.

Wifi

It had a locked gate for security, and a security guard to watch the tenants' cars overnight. The beds were comfortable. Quiet atmosphere. Cindy was very personable and had great suggestions for places to eat.

The streets of Jaco are a little trashy, and the sidewalk is only complete on one side of the street walking from the Condominiums toward downtown.

El Encanto Condominiums are small but charming, nicely decorated, and very comfortable - and feature both fans and air conditioning. The staff is friendly and helpful - we asked Cindy to arrange 3 tours. The location is close to restaurants, a fruteria and a paneria, and walking distance to the main drag, more restaurants, Pali grocery store, souvenir , clothing, and art shops. The beach is a block from the main street, about 10-12 minutes for a senior citizen. My condo had a fully equipped kitchen, and we cooked a couple of dinners ourselves, as well as enjoying morning coffee & breakfast on one of the courtyard tables. The swimming pool was small but clean and very fun to float or swim around. Inside the condo did have a comfortable dining booth, as well as couches and 3 chairs in a seating area. Cable TV was in the dining area and both bedrooms. We found the beds comfortable to sleep on. The walk-in shower was nice sized; we just had to remember that the warm water was just barely turning the tap on, not all the way.

Beds no too comfortable.

Cosy apartment with all the amenities we needed. Helpful staff, free car park and not noisy (although we traveled during the low season). Close to the town centre. Free wifi.

Stayed in September 2022

A bit cramped but quite liveable. Had a 2 burner store and fridge, microwave. Good place for the money.

Cleanliness, price.

Stayed in August 2022

The living area was a bit small but it also had a patio or deck area which worked out in the evenings when we we there!

There is no breakfast.

Stayed in June 2022

Noisy, windows could not be shut all the way so noise carried inside from the street and neighbors.

Stayed in July 2022

stairs are scary, third/ guest sleeping area.

beds were very comfortable, apartment is clean and cute, plenty of towels.

Stayed in July 2022

No tv in the bedroom which isn’t a big deal but if I had to add something, that’s the only thing!

Clean with easy checkin and great host! Cindy was very sweet

Nothing to complain about

Our stay was excellent. The facilities vs cost cannot be matched anywhere in Jaco. The staff were amazing as was the owner. There is a fantastic Soda bar 100m from the property that has some of the best reviews in Jaco and serve authentic Tico food. You are far enough away from the noise of the strip (500m) that you have peace at night. The pool was great to get away from the heat in the afternoon. I would recommend this place to anyone

The check in woman was extremely kind and helpful

Nothing! The only issue we had was one night other guests of the condo were very loud and jumping and shouting in the pool at a bout 1-2 am. But this was not El Encanto's fault!

El Encanto is excellent value for money. The apartment had everything we needed to cook for ourselves and have nice evenings in. Check in was super easy the hosts were kind enough to let us check in early when we arrived earlier than expected! The pool is small but still nice to have to jump in and cool off. Wifi was excellent. The location is also great, it is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach but this means you are away from the noise/party scene at night it is nice and quiet.
