El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara

This property was excellent. Staff and accommodations were great. Would highly recommend

Amazing location and exceptional service. Wonderful experience! Highly recommend.

As always, this place is super nice, very attentive staff and very relaxing. Breakfast with a great view of Santa Barbara harbor and channel islands is a great experience. The restaurant has excellent food but I can't say the pricing is justified, normal high end hotel pricing I guess. A couple minor annoyances such as room AC not working to expectations but the room temp was still OK, just not as cool as we like for sleep

Amazing property!!!

Lovely in every way

This property exceeds every expectation. The service was exemplary. Everyone, from the front desk staff to room service to the gardeners, is friendly and courteous and helpful. The grounds are exquisitely maintained. The rooms are generously proportioned with upper end amenities. Staying here will spoil you for any other property.

Gorgeous property and very friendly staff. We came on a holiday weekend so they were at full capacity so it was difficult getting a lounge chair at the pool. I’m sure that’s not always the case. I feel like this property should be no kids under 13. People pay a lot of money to spend their vacations here and no one wants to listen to screaming kids .

**Title: An Enchanting Stay at Bellwood L Encanto** My recent stay at Bellwood L Encanto in Santa Barbara was nothing short of magical. Perched atop a hill, the property offers breathtaking views and an atmosphere of pure charm. From the moment I arrived, the staff's hospitality was outstanding—they were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The amenities are top-notch. The pool area is an oasis of relaxation, surrounded by lush greenery and offering a serene escape. The food was exquisite, with each meal showcasing fresh, flavorful ingredients. The fitness center had fun group activities making it easy to maintain my workout routine while traveling. The rooms are incredibly comfortable, providing a luxurious and restful retreat after a day of exploring. Every detail, from the elegant decor to the plush bedding, contributed to a sense of comfort and tranquility. Overall, El Encanto is a gem in Santa Barbara. The combination of stunning location, exceptional service and luxurious amenities makes it a destination I highly recommend. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience.

The property was beautiful and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

The staff was absolutely exceptional and made the experience so great. Can't wait to go back again!

A great family get-away with with grandchildren and adult children- located in the hills of Santa Barbara- an ideal place to un-wind and relax.

Beautiful property. However I think we got sick after using the pool in the evening 6:15p-7p. There is no jacuzzi. We woke at 3a with cold symptoms. Unfortunately getting sick makes me hesitant to return.

Perfect retreat-like experience—the views are amazing.

Beautiful setting and rooms World class service

This is my favorite hotel. I go to El Encanto every time I’m in SB.

Excellent front desk manager Armando. Beautiful serene luxurious property with great service. The best property in the area surpasses the Rosewood for quiet and serenity.

Food was average at best

Fabulous hotel and staff! The view makes you feel like you’re in Italy and they are dog and kid friendly!! The perfect vacation from LA!

A jacuzzi and music around the pool.

An incredible property. On top of Santa Barbara. 10 Mins drive to Montecito. It a serene haven.
