El Encanto at Hacienda Encantada vs Las Ventanas al Paraiso, A Rosewood Resort – At a Glance

Category El Encanto at Hacienda Encantada Las Ventanas al Paraiso, A Rosewood Resort
Overall Vibe All-ages, all-inclusive resort section within a larger Cabo property, with Sea of Cortez views, a family pool area, an adults-only pool section, and a broad resort feel. Ultra-luxury Rosewood resort with an intimate, refined atmosphere, elegant suites and villas, and a strong sense of privacy and personalized service.
Location On the Los Cabos Tourist Corridor overlooking the Sea of Cortez, with a rocky seaside setting and shuttle access toward livelier Cabo areas. Also set along the Los Cabos corridor, with a more secluded luxury-resort feel between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
Rooms & Suites Comfortable resort accommodations suited to couples, families, and groups who want all-inclusive convenience and access to the larger Hacienda Encantada amenities. High-end suites and villas with a more residential luxury feel—better for travelers who place room design, privacy, and service at the top of the list.
Dining All-inclusive dining across several on-site restaurants and bars, including Mexican, Italian, seafood, poolside snacks, tequila-bar options, and 24-hour room service. More refined à la carte luxury dining experience, best for travelers who prefer quality, atmosphere, and service over an all-inclusive format.
Pools & Beach Multiple pool areas, including a family-oriented pool zone and an adults-only infinity pool section; the immediate seaside area is rocky rather than a classic swimming beach. A more serene luxury pool-and-beach setting, designed for lounging, service, and atmosphere rather than a busy activity-heavy resort day.
Kids & Family Family-friendly, with children’s facilities, a kids’ club/play space, playground features, babysitting available for a surcharge, and all-ages resort amenities. Welcomes families, but the overall experience is more tailored to luxury couples, honeymooners, and travelers seeking a quieter high-end stay.
Price & Value Best value for travelers who want all-inclusive inclusions, family flexibility, pools, activities, and dining variety bundled into the stay. Best value for travelers who are willing to pay more for exclusivity, service, design, and a more elevated luxury-resort atmosphere.
