El Far Hotel Restaurant

I had an absolutely awesome stay at Hotel Restaurant El Far de San Sebastián—despite very stormy and rainy weather, the experience was truly exceptional. My reservation started with Susanna, whom I spoke with by phone. She was incredibly friendly and efficient, booking both my room and a dinner table right away. Upon arrival, I checked in with Olga, without a doubt one of the friendliest and most professional front desk staff I have ever met. She was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and took the time to show me everything. Truly outstanding service. The room was stunning—relaxing, beautiful, spotless, with very comfortable bedclothes. The windows are perfectly insulated: even though there was a big storm outside, I didn’t hear a single sound. I slept like an angel. Dinner was another highlight. Chef Quim prepared an excellent meal—absolutely delicious. Leydi took wonderful care of me during dinner with her warm smile and attentive service, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Olga was so kind to take some pictures of me in the building, which I really appreciated. The next morning, breakfast was wonderful, served by Gerard, who did a fantastic job—very friendly and attentive. Because of the severe weather, the street was closed and it was unsafe to leave the hotel. The team handled this situation incredibly well. I was allowed to stay in my room longer and received regular updates from the front desk. Judith did a great job keeping everyone informed and calm. Gerard truly became our superhero that day: after midday, he carefully drove down to check the conditions, came back to let us know it was safe, and then guided all guests down to Palafrugell in convoy. Amazing care and responsibility. A big thank you as well to the housekeeping ladies—I don’t know your names, but thank you so much for your patience and kindness in allowing us to stay longer in the room. Thank you again to Susanna, Olga, Lady Leydi, Judith, Gerard, Chef Quim, and the wonderful housekeeping team. An outstanding experience—I highly recommend everyone to stay here, relax, and enjoy this beautiful place.

A perfect short stay in a cosy room with an amazing sea view. Very warm welcome from Olga who gave us lots of tips on what to visit in the area. Great choice of food for breakfast. It was all fabulous!

Beautiful restaurant and stunning location. The food was very good and tasty. The restaurant boss was very friendly and made is feel at home, however the service by part of the other team members could be better. Our cutlery was not even changed from starters to mains and had to ask them to change them. Definitely would come back. Prepare to pay around 50/60€ per person.

The most incredible sea views, from this amazing location by the lighthouse overlooking wonderful Costa Brava scenery. Quiet despite being high season. Private parking with surveillance. Really attentive and friendly staff in reception and the restaurant. Excellent local food - recomendable the fish and shellfish, helpful suggestions of local wines to try. Spacious really comfortable rooms - worth paying for a suite with terrace.

Spectacular location. We came here for a family meal and we had a great experience. The place is magic, the views over the sea, the lighthouse, the cliffs... The food was very good also. I loved the black rice. But everything was food and well cooked. The service was very good too, they weren't super fast, but we appreciated that as the 'room' where we were was just for us and had those beautiful views. We enjoyed every minute there. Desserts are a bit expensive. This restaurant is a must if you are in the area. The hotel looks like being great too, but we only tried the restaurant.

We celebrated our wedding at Hotel El Far – and it was absolutely incredible! The venue, the organization, the staff and service, the food – everything was just perfect. A very special thanks to Sara for coordinating and managing everything so smoothly and for making even the smallest changes and spontaneous requests possible – both before and during the wedding. Every detail was handled with great care! Also, a big thank you to Maria and the entire team for the outstanding service – both we and our guests loved the delicious food and the warm, attentive care we received throughout the day. And last but not least, many thanks to Judith, who not only convinced us to choose El Far back in 2023 but also took such great care of us during our stay. Thanks to the whole team for making this unforgettable experience possible – it truly was the best wedding we could have ever dreamed of! We would 100% recommend this place! 🧡

We had a lovely time at this amazing boutique hotel. The room had amazing views, the bed was comfortable and the room had everything that we needed. The restaurant was fabulous and the food was the most delicious that we had on our trip to Catalonia and our waiter Gerard was an absolute star! The breakfast was wonderful as well.

How lovely to be back enjoying the delights of the restaurant at El Far on the Costa Brava. Amazingly situated and a super Menu to suit all tastes. A wonderful ambience here due to the friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiast Staff. Can’t wait to return.

Excel·lent view with assorted and delicious Menu. One nice spot to enjoy Costa Brava with Catalan gastronomic. Hotel looks interested for an overnight and romantic diner. I did enjoyed on Sunday Lunch. Conrad

We went to Restaurant El Far for Garoinada festival and it was a great experience. We didnt stay at the hotel so I cant comment on that but the restaurant is great. Make reservations well in advance and ensure to request for terrace seating as you are then overlooking the sea. The view is beautiful and the food is great! The service is okay but they can be a little slow sometimes and dont take customizations and side dish requests too well. The area around the hotel/restaurant is quite beautiful for a walk or a hike. We tried the sea urchins which were great - a little small but we tried two dozen so they were quite good.... We also tried the fish of the day - was fresh and well cooked... We also tried the fried sardines - most of the seafood was fresh and great... Definitely recommend for a nice sunny seafood lunch!

The El Far Restaurant/Hotel, is situated in one of the most breath taking setting on the Costa Brava. The restaurant is most elegant looking and the clientele also seem most affluent. The head Chef himself came to take our order and following his recommendations...we were sadly disappointed by our dinner. We found it very fatty and heavy; not at all what we had been expecting. Everything else; the wine, service desert etc. were excellent. I feel that I must go back and have another try. The bill was about 140€ for 2, Expensive for Spain but the settings...
