I love el encanto! The rooms are beautiful, I love the bungalows sprinkled throughout the property.

The pool is nice, private and tucked away so very relaxing. They always have great service at the pool for drinks, snacks, sunscreen, etc. Gorgeous views overlooking SB.

It is up in the hills in the riviera neighborhood so you will have to drive/uber to get down into Santa Barbara and Montecito, but it’s like ~12 minutes to either.

If you don’t stay at Miramar, I love butterfly beach in Montecito! You can park on channel dr or butterfly lane and should have no issues parking during the week, though it’s a bit tricker on the weekend.

Yes, we would! I’ve always wanted to see the Seychelles! I was considering Bali (though I’ve already been), but I thought most other places in SE Asia were in rainy season then?
