Hosteria El Encanto

I honestly choose a resort, but I accidentally choose this area. However, I would recommend for those who are low budget travelers but who are willing to take a break and rest in their amazing hot springs. They do have hiking trail, but it is the best not to go in the midst of rain. You will slip and get yourself all muddy. I learn that that hard way. You can walk around the town, but honestly, there is not too much to see aside from the church and cemenetry.The church had an interestingsaint with a sword in her hand. I would love to learn more about that. Other thing that I really like about this place is that hot springs are completely accessible, food being first class, and fireplace being readily available.It is a sleeper, and I recommended it. If there is any downside to it, they locked everything up until 7am. It means I (without a vehcile) cannot get out until 7am. It means I could miss my flight. The breakfasts are not ready until 830 am. However, everything is affordable, so this is a decent tradeoff.

The owners and staff were wonderful. The property was very clean but rustic. A perfect mix in the jungle. Only a short drive to Mendo and all of the wonderful things to do there :-)

The place is absolutely gorgeous. nature at its best. The service is first class and very down to earth. Andres does a great job. Rodrigo, the owner, is a very knowledgeable on ancient Indian history, especially Maya. By the way the hotel is located right on the Equator line. The natural beauty of the hotel setting cannot be improved. Will return very soon
