About this property

Welcome to Encanto Vacations

Encanto Vacations is a resort hotel located along Carretera Puerto Peñasco - Caborca, offering a quiet and private beachfront setting in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico. Guests can expect air-conditioned accommodations suitable for families, with a focus on privacy as noted by several visitors who appreciated the secluded beach area accessible only to hotel guests.

The resort features spacious suites equipped with fully functional kitchens and comfortable living spaces, creating a home-like environment. Facilities include multiple swimming pools, a hot tub, and an infinity pool, which contribute to a relaxed atmosphere. However, some guests noted that the water temperature in the showers could be improved, and limited on-site dining options may require guests to plan ahead for meals.

While the property provides a peaceful retreat, it is situated about a 20-minute drive from Puerto Peñasco town, with no nearby stores or gas stations within walking distance.

The nearby hotels include well-reviewed options like Luna Blanca & Encanto Living and Castaways Rocky Point Luna Blanca, all within a short distance.

Guest feedback highlights friendly and attentive staff who contribute positively to the overall experience, although some have mentioned front desk service as inconsistent. The resort’s setting and amenities make it a suitable choice for families and visitors seeking a calm environment focused on relaxation rather than extensive sightseeing or recreation.

This is the second trip my family has taken at Encanto living. We loved it equally both times. It’s very private, clean, and overall nice. The pool is checked on every day/morning, and we love the private beach. The view of each apartment in the encanto tower is wonderful. Entering your apartment is nice and fast. The workers are also very kind! We will definitely keep coming back for our puerto peñasco trips :)!

The suites are very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were clean with a very homey feel. The bathrooms have a nice private shower, a private toilet and the closet inside the restroom area. The water temperature could have been better as the hot water was barely warm. The beach is just right there without other people on the beach other than the hotel guests, so if you want privacy, you definitely get that. The pools were very clean and the water was warm. The jacuzzi water was barely warm, so that needs improvement as well. The hotel is very far from the city, but that is good for those that want privacy. The check-in was somewhat difficult since the security guard is the one that checks you in. The staff was very friendly and they try really hard to make your stay pleasant. Final: Would recommend for privacy, hotel staff and security. Also the beach is super clean. If you want to be close to the city and dont like the drive, then this one might not be good for you.

The experience was excellent. Five stars for everything. The accommodations spectacular. 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The kitchen had marble counters with dishwasher, microwave and electric stove top. Seemed like 2000 square feet of living space. Amenities include swimming pools, hot tub, water fall and infinity pool. Families are welcomed including couples. Only drawback was a 20 minute drive to the town of Puerto Penasco .

A little far away from everything..but quiet and relaxing. Great beach, clean. Awesome time! The only things were: Front desk service not very nice/helpful and no food available in premises, only a not very trustworthy hot dog pool stand post.

This place was absolutely beautiful! Amazing views, beautiful warm ocean to look at from the bed, and 2 jacuzzi tubs in the room. The only downside was when booked through Booking.com, the description said includes access to the Mayan Castle resort. Which we had access, but it was about a 10 min drive away, we thought it would be in walking distance. There is no stores or gas station near here so make sure you get any and all necessities before you arrive. The place was quite difficult to find, we went to 3 different places before we finally ended up here at around 9pm. After finally finding it and actually being able to eat the next day, since everything was closed once we arrived, it was a nice trip. Would stay here again, but just need to come prepared with food and drinks so you don’t need to leave.

Went in Oct and was very relaxed. There's a great room for the first floor and plenty of places to congregate by the long pool. Honesty, in Oct, the beach water was warmer and very calm and shallow for the kids. Only upside/downside is that it's a ways from any shops/restaurants. You will need a car to get around.

Stunning location, quiet beach with white sand. Lots of shells for collectors. We stayed at Encanto Living, #703. Fabulous terrace overlooking the pools, spas, fire pits, bar-b-ques, and the Aqua blue sea. The 3 bedroom condo was immaculate and had every amenity possible. Check-in was swift, and the host was great. Rocky Point itself has a ton of fun restaurants that offer taco stands to world-class steak and seafood. The drive from Scottsdale was 3.5 hours. The entire vacation was a family hit, and we will go back.
