Casa Encantada Review

This boutique B&B has a refined air about it, in terms of both the decor and service. Although most rooms are rather compact, what they lack in size they make up for in comfort and style. The best room here is the large, rooftop suite, which has plenty of space and a private Jacuzzi. However, my favorite room is no. 7, which is tucked in the back of the hotel and reached by a rock walkway over a small pool. At night this pathway is lit with candles and is quite romantic. The whole hotel is really meant for couples and honeymooners, and only one room here -- the second-floor room -- has two beds; the rest have either one king-size or one queen-size. Breakfast is served on the delightful open-air rooftop, with great views of the red-tile roofs and the surrounding hills and volcanoes. In the afternoons and evenings, the little bar up here is the place to be for cocktails and snacks.

Facilities:
Bar; small pool; tour desk; laundry service; free Wi-Fi

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
