The best rooms are facing the Rio Cuale. Watching the egrets in the mornings and listening to the frogs in the evening are an ever changing scene. The rooms are clean and spartan. The staff is very accommodating. This was my second stay at the Encino.

My friends and I booked site unseen and were very pleased with The Encino. Great value for our dollar, perfect location, clean with good security.Being right by the Rio Cuale was a wonderul surprise. The staff IS GREAT, hotel is in the center of everything. Next year a whole group of us are coming back . We wouldnt stay anywhere... More

It had a balcony facing the suites. (I don't usually require a balcony other than to dry stuff sometimes but... More

Our trip was from December 19th-December 26th. I knew from the beginning we would be choosing this as our hotel because the previous year we had chosen them. The difference was that in 2011 we chose a Suite since it was a trip with the family. In 2012 we grabbed a regular room. It was AWFUL. Our room was on... More
