We live very close by El Encanto and have for years. We had our wedding party there and spent that night. But we frequently have drinks and dine there. Today our son treated us to the most magnificent brunch on the terrace overlooking the ocean and islands. We cannot praise the loveliness and excellence of this hotel enough. It is a treasure. Everything about it is beautiful and perfect and their chief is brilliant. So much nicer than the new commercial doubly priced iteration of the

We are on a month long road trip down the west coast and stayed here for 4 nights. We had 3 rooms 1 for my wife and I and 2 for our 3 children. We booked through AMEX travel and all of our rooms were upgraded upon arrival.
The service from the moment the Valet opened our door and introduced us to Jared in reception to being greeted by Hugo at breakfast and Trevor by the pool was second to none. There was nothing that was too much trouble and we cannot recommend this hotel enough.
We will 100% be returning when we return to Santa Barbara.

The location sitting above Santa Barbara is absolutely stunning. We received excellent service at the pool and the valet were simply the best! The rooms could use a bit of updating…I get the charm of it, but our windows were so creaky, leaky and cracked that some wouldn’t even open. Evening service at the bar/dining room is a bit of miss (breakfast service was always impeccable and delicious). I don’t understand why a tomahawk ribeye advertised as serving 2 guests, came with 1 little pave potato. My biggest gripe however is the cocktails. Charging $23 for arguably the worst drinks I had all week is a crime. That is a premium price to pay for a subpar drink. I will happily pay premium prices for a craft cocktail that takes some effort, but not something I could get at Applebees for $8. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but to be 5 star you gotta be 5 star everywhere.

We went to the Thursday Gin & Jazz. Except for the restaurant host, every staff person that evening made us feel welcome. The jazz singer was classy and a delight to listen to, Exceptional hospitality and service even though we stayed only in the lounge for the jazz.

Exemplary experience. We went on a weekend trip from LA just to get away from it all, and nothing disappointed. Every person we encountered, from valet to front desk (waiters, concierge, cleaners…) went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and at ease. Greeting us by name over the course of our four day stay went a long way.
Grounds are beautiful, including pool, garden, and wishing well. Food is delicious, and the Sunday brunch with live bossa nova was a particular treat. We were delighted by so many cute complimentary gifts, as well as a free drink and cake on my partner’s birthday. We used the gym, which was clean and well appointed (both with equipment and drinks/snacks), though did not have the opportunity to visit the spa.
My partner proposed at the wishing well on the morning of his birthday, so I know El Encanto will always be very special to us!
