Hacienda Encantada Resort & Residences

The property has a lot of activities for adults and kids. The kid pool is amazing, I will add adult chairs and lounges in the kids area because moms would love you have their kids runing while they rest. Property is super well staffed, the food is ok and the location is amazing.

Very nice views and staff

We had a wonderful stay at Hacienda Encantada. The property is really beautiful, and we were in a building that was centrally located to everything and had ocean views. Our room was a one bedroom suite which was really spacious with a kitchen, large patio with a grill and two bathrooms. It felt upscale and allowed us to feel comfortable. The food at the resort is also great with many options including a nice breakfast buffet, casual options and fine dining for dinner. We also had access to the rooftop pool and services at the Vista Encantada resort. We also took advantage of the free shuttle to and from the marina. During the July 4th holiday, the hotel held a nice celebration with a bbq, live music and fireworks. The hotel staff, especially Manny, also helped us after we traveled back home and realized our daughter left two precious keepsakes behind. He located the items and helped arrange shipping.

Felt very safe there. If we took the shuttle outside the property they would keep count of how many of us wre leaving. Upon return they would double check who was coming in.

Beautiful.

Our stay was wonderful, our room and views were awesome, very clean, we plan on going back and staying there again at some point.

Great stay at this beautiful hotel!

Beautiful property with a great location, close to downtown and the Marina.

Very pretty resort , they are short staff , every request take a long time to get response

El hotel es bonito. Pero sientes que te quieren sacar cada centavo posible y eso es muy incómodo. No dejan entrar ubers a la propiedad y te obligan a usar sus taxis para salir. El Uber al aeropuerto cobraba $45 usd y el taxi $90 usd. Si quieres que te saquen de la propiedad, te cobran $15 usd por un km de trayecto. No lo recomendamos, ahórrense estas incomodidades, hay mejores hoteles más flexibles con sus políticas que no te arruinan tu estancia

Always a good experience, love the staff. Manny at the bell area has been there 12 years and always a pleasure. David the front desk manager made sure we had the correct room and experience.

The property is beautiful and well maintained.

This was our first time doing all inclusive for our honeymoon. We arrived and were checked in by Jasmine who was polite and professional, the only thing we lacked was an explanation of how the all inclusive worked in terms of signing out in restaurants etc. We checked into our room and were underwhelmed unfortunately. We booked a junior suite with ocean view, and we were placed on a ground floor junior suite, which you could see the ocean but it faced the pool so people could walk a foot away from us. Not ideal, then the toilet in our room was leaking, the smell was so bad so we requested to change rooms. The only room available was another ground floor in a different building with no ocean view. Again not ideal as we paid for ocean view so this was disappointing but at least the plumbing worked. Overall the property was nice, the view from the pool is beautiful and the majority of staff were excellent. I was just a little upset about the room situation since it was our honeymoon and we wanted it to feel special. It was just average. The food for the all inclusive was not great, very bland and the mixed drinks were not good. I don't want to be very negative about this property since the staff were so nice but the rooms definitely need an upgrade and the food and drinks were just not great quality (maybe this is normal for all inclusive). I probably would not stay here again and spend the extra money on an all inclusive where you can enjoy better quality food and drinks.

Enjoyed the resort, however, not offering shuttle service back to the airport daily and therefore having to pay an arm and leg for a taxi was a waste. I was also offered $50 credit, but when I asked to apply it to balance at the end of my stay, I was told I couldn’t because it was just for food. Info on these services needs to be clearer from up front.

Please verify rooms are correct with booked prepaid reservations. If they are not correct, it is helpful to make it right. The guests are the only reason you are there. I feel your staff forgets the guests are their main focus. I have stayed at this resort 2 times and I will never come back. It was too expensive to have so much go wrong last week. Things go wrong. It’s how they are handles that makes a good place an excellent place.

Property was not helpful with our questions upon our arrival. We were assigned the wrong room size for our # of guests and did not accommodate our original pre-paid reservation. We were assigned 1 king size bed for 3 grown adults. They never attempted to fix it. We did call and insisted on a roll away bed. That helped a little. We remained in that room the entire stay. No one tried to get us the correct accommodations. Our “all inclusive package” turned out to need to be upgraded to an all inclusive for $2,500 upon our arrival. No explanation, just more fees. Then an offer to upgrade our room came with a price. The original room was never offered either. It was only that we could upgrade to a suite or they would eventually get us the right room, “by tomorrow.” That never happened. The property just didn’t have the level of service expected and the luxury of the experience became tarnished after we didn’t get any pampering.

Beautiful resort.

Hotel was beautiful. Food and wait staff were great, but the hard ball sales tactics trying to sell us a time share was over the top obnoxious.

The property was nice and the staff were very friendly. There was some confusion about our $50 credit, but it all worked out. We opted out of the all inclusive package but if we go again we will get it. The location is remote but we had great taxi drivers.
