Lovely setting, quiet stay.

Review of Parador El Faro
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 28, 2025via mobile
Very nice stay. Lovely setting away from traffic, quiet and clean. On site restaurant very good with friendly service and reasonable prices. Was disappointed that the second larger pool was not in use, I’m a swimmer. The smaller pool by the hotel entrance is well maintained. Our room was clean, updated furnishings and beds comfy.

The Hotel is nice, comfortable and in a great area. Housekeeping needs to improve, beds were not made once during our stay and there was mold in the room. Pool is nice and cozy, restaurant was not the greatest, but there are a lot of places to eat and enjoy near the area.

Come for El Bohío restaurant, stay for nearby beach exploring. The hotel itself seems like it is trying to improve slowly.

For their restaurant called El Bohío- The Smash burger is a must try. Also had the Mahi mahi with root mash- so good, root mash is amazing. Picatta chicken delicious. Breakfast also a hit. Good drinks, great service, lovely ambiance. Prices are average/decent for sit down service in the area.

Check in was easy, the parking fee of about $5 was silly- at least wait till your property is updated and just add it to the rate to avoid the conversation at check in. Parking is a walk in the heat/sun if the lot is full. No one offered to help with bags or seemed concerned with guests who were using a cane to get around. But in general most staff we encountered were friendly.

Was told that some rooms recently were updated but the work wasn’t done very well if that’s the case or we didn’t get an upgraded room. It was decent but bathroom door didn’t close and window in bathroom were broken. Caulking around some edges of trim /shower/ etc was coming apart. The a/c turns off/on in an annoying way but maybe could have played around with settings to see if that changed anything. Pillows were awful but bed was comfy. Floors weren’t cleaned but overall rest of the room seemed fairly clean. Room has a nice size fridge and nice cabinet/desk/headboard furniture. More hooks in the bathroom would be helpful.

Pool area is cute but right off the lobby. It could use a good cleaning on the floor and regular cleaning for bugs floating on top but wasn’t terrible. Did swim in it a little one morning. There was another pool towards the back that maybe was being repaired. Seems like it will be very nice once/if opened.
