聖巴巴拉埃爾恩坎託酒店-貝爾蒙德酒店(El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara)

I have zero complaints about this amazing place. They keep their grounds impeccable and their service is unmatched. Even though we were in teh most luxurious accomodations, the bungalows also feel cozy and like home. We were here for our baby moon and didn't want to leave. El Encanto also has a splendid reputation among locals, which speaks volumes. You must stay here if you travel to Santa Barbara.

This hotel is a must if you’re looking for something extra special in California. The grounds are impeccable. The staff is so kind and thorough. Our experience at El Encanto, from the rooms to the pool & view, to the dining, were exceptional. You’ll feel like you’re on top of the world.

Beautiful grounds, well-appointed and beautiful room, great food, and lots of extras for our toddler including an adorable toddler bed and a backpack with toys.

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

I loved everything about the property & staff. I did have one negative experience. I wanted to look at the gym. A guest there refused to let me in because she was using the exercise bike without a mask. I did not have a mask so she told me that I could not come in!!!! I was very upset but did not want to be confrontational with such an nasty person. It truly flavored my experience at the hotel.

Beautiful bungalow layout. Stayed in the Superior King suite 801. Had its own fireplace, heated floors and an amazing large bathroom with a full bath and shower. In room dining was so good, ordered halibut tacos. So impressed!!

Absolutely amazing hotel. The hotel team is so nice and accommodating. They anticipate yours needs. The food was delicious and the view is beautiful.

I only stayed at the property for one night, so it is harder to evaluate it perhaps as fairly as I might otherwise. It is a beautiful place, with stunning views of the Santa Barbara coastline. But I was irritated to arrive at 3:30 in the afternoon, and be told my room was not quite ready. 90 minutes later, for myself and other guests, the rooms were finally available. When we arrived for dinner at 7:30, once again the table wasn’t ready, and it was closer to 8pm before we were seated. My guess is that they are understaffed, and struggling with meeting the demands of more guests post Covid. However, if El Encanto is going to share $1500 per room per night, they need to have these staffing issues resolved!

Gorgeous property and the staff is amazing… can’t wait to return!
