Hotel El Encanto  

On Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast in Cahuita, a short walk from the sand — Negra Beach is about 5 minutes on foot and Playa Cahuita roughly 10 minutes. Cahuita National Park sits only 0.5 miles away and the village center is about 1 km. A charming bed-and-breakfast base for beach days and wildlife jaunts.

A small, first-class B&B with personality — think four tastefully decorated bungalows plus a fully furnished three-bedroom house. Rooms feature private bathrooms and balconies, ceiling fans and air conditioning in the guestrooms, plus artful touches and a peaceful tropical garden. Personalized service, generous tropical breakfasts and a serene vibe make it especially family-friendly.

Soak in the outdoor pool, unwind at the spa and book a massage. The property also offers a library, picnic area, concierge and a tour desk for park and wildlife excursions. Free self-parking is onsite and an airport shuttle is available on request for a surcharge. Laundry, dry cleaning and a 24-hour front desk keep stays easy.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. A television and common areas provide casual spaces to meet or relax.

Enjoy a restaurant, a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge on the premises. The inn serves a complimentary full breakfast daily (generous, healthy tropical-style mornings), with snacks and limited room service available.
