What T likes about El Encanto A Belmond Santa Barbara:
Absolutely gorgeous hotel and room, enjoyed my stay. Beautiful grounds and very peaceful ambience. Loved the infinity pool and the room service was good, food was delicious. Heated bathroom floors, a fireplace, nice big tub and separate shower. I will definitely come back, if I stay in Santa Barbara again! The staff and amenities were top notch, they even gave me a gift bag and small to go gifts placed in my car with... View all feedback.
