Amazing stay!!

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.
Gudbrand, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Amazing views

A beautiful hotel with unparalleled views of the bay. The room was very comfortable and we used the balcony extensively. The breakfast buffet was extensive with lots of choices. Coffee and tea could have been hotter.

We liked : the views , the heated swimming pool , the gardens , close by national park , decoration of the hotel including the furnishings , the staff service , the lunch and dinner in the restaurant , available hot drinks Didn't like the high price of the food in the hotel and the same free breakfast evey day only option ( paying option available) . Considering the price for a stay at the hotel one would expect things like snorkeling sets , canoes , kettle .

When paying such a high amount and when breakfast is included, it is weird to see that there is an extras menu for breakfast that you have to pay for.

We loved our stay at El Faro! The position beside the sea was fabulous with amazing views of the ocean, perfectly private and peaceful. The option of two pools and ocean swimming was fantastic- the perfect holiday destination.The staff were very accommodating and pleasant too- eager to please their guests! Great location with a car for easy access to Alghero- what a fabulous. old town to wander around, dining and shopping, as well as other locations well worth visiting. Highly recommend this hotel.
Leonie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was amazing from start to finish. Friendly staff, food (both snack bar and restaurant) was excellent. Their breakfast has an impressive amount of selection. 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.
Marco, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
