I love the views from the El Encanto. I hope the refurbished cottages will finally bring this property to it's full potential.
I stayed in the Mariposa Suite at the FS in Nov. The suite was lovely but had several issues with lights, steam shower and espresso maker not working. The service was friendly but really slow and a bit clueless The restaurants at the Coral Casino have abbreviated hours on mon and tues of which I was not apprised.
The grounds are beautiful and it's nice to be so close to the beach (across the street) and to sleep to the sound of the pounding surf.
I enjoyed my FS stay but felt a little short changed in value. I might return to the FS but
think I'll give the El Encanto a try first.
