What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers praise El Faro Hotel & Spa for its spectacular coastal setting, welcoming staff, and comfortable sea-view rooms, while noting the remote location makes a car useful and that on-site dining quality and pricing can be mixed.

Facilities stand out for two pools, including a heated seawater option, plentiful loungers, and direct rocky access for swimming and snorkeling. Several guests mention extra fees for the spa and occasional early pool closing times. Breakfast is widely praised, though some report repetitive options, upcharges for certain items, or lukewarm hot drinks. Expect a quiet, scenic retreat geared to relaxation more than nightlife.

Beautiful hotel on the water. Very remote location. Hiking within walking distance but no restaurants within walking distance. I was able to rent an automatic car that was delivered to the hotel. There was no concierge service as was advertised but the front desk was helpful. Book your excursions in advance as they aren’t offered daily.

Absolutely stunning property. Staff were very welcoming! The property was great! Beautiful pool and many quiet areas for beach views and swimming in the ocean! Good snorkeling right off the property. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast was great. We did not explore any other dining options as we would head out for lunch and dinner each day. Highly recommend this hotel.

Calm and newly renovated hotel located in beautiful isolation. Multiple opportunities for finding sun beds at various places along the sea and pool. No beach, but very nice rocky areas for snorkeling! Surprisingly non-crowded even at high season (we travelled around and the other hotels were full at this time). This made it easy to get sun beds. Mostly couples and a few families as guests, combined with the isolated location, made this stay very relaxing. Unless you have a car, you should be prepared to eat all meals at the facility. Slightly lower score for the service and selection at the restaurant.

d at trække nok gæster til og holde liv i alle de ting såsom spa område, vandaktiviteter, massage etc. etc. (flere af disse aktiviteter virkede lukkede eller med behov for bestilling i meget god tid) som hotellet bla. bruger til at retfærdiggøre den høje pris. Vi savnede mere fokus på at holde gæsterne aktiverede. Gode værelser og generelt meget venligt personale. Hotellets morgenmad ligger under det vi forventer af et hotel til den pris når vi sammenligner med de mange andre hoteller vi har boet på når vi har rejst. Ikke meget frisk frugt, men til gengæld et hav af forskellige kager, hvilket ikke er noget vi ønsker af et morgenbord

This hotel is amazing and was way beyond what i expected it to be. It’s not so easy to see on the pictures if the hotell is fresh and clean. But it is, and I’m surprised this does not have 5 starts compared to some other 5 star hotels we stayed at. The hotel is situated by it self in a natural reserve, the view and beach is absolutely amazing. It’s not over crowded and the staff is very friendly as well. I can not recommend this enough.

If you plan for a quiet vacation, it is the right one. If you plan for a lively one, that’s not the right one. one,

The pool area, on top of having direct access to a free private beach, meant you could have your beach day at home if you didn't feel like having a crowd around you. It certainly lived up to the hype.

Hotel was beautiful, rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The surrounding scenery was stunning. We rented the hotel car, which was an easy process and a reasonable price and great to have the freedom to explore as there wasnt a great deal nearby. We didnt use the spa, but the two outside pools were lovely and the sunbeds were great quality and comfortable. We ate at the a la carte restaurant once and it was absolutely lovely food with great service and matched the slightly higher price. The only negative we had of our stay was the lunch at the pool bar on one of the days. We both ordered ceaser salad, which was expensive and basically consisted of a pile of iceburg lettuce, one cherry tomato, a drizzle of dressing and then some thin sliced chicken and cheese. We also two cocktails (10 euros each) which were very basic and not the best - strangest mojito we'd ever seen! The lunch aside, could not reccommend this hotel more. Clean, beautiful, helpful staff, comfortable rooms. A+ !! Would come back again in a heartbeat!
