Hotel El Faro

Exceeded Expectations – A True Gem We are here in late September and are truly impressed. It’s becoming rare nowadays to find a place that not only meets but exceeds its online promise, El Faro absolutely does. Its a great value for money! The location is breathtaking, perched right on the sea with sweeping views and direct access to the water. The property blends beautifully with the natural surroundings and offers a sense of space and serenity that’s hard to come by. The hotel is spotless, with nice rooms and larger-than-expected bathrooms. The sea-view rooms are simply unforgettable, the sunsets alone are worth the trip. We also loved the thoughtful extras like game boards in the bar area and the many quiet corners to relax and take in the scenery. The food is excellent, and the parking is easy, right at the front. Alghero is just a 15 minute drive. Above all the staff are warm, polite, and professional, making the whole experience feel seamless and welcoming. We’re already planning to return, not just to Sardinia, but to El Faro itself. A rare gem that delivers on every level.

Excellent stay for five nights. Great staff. Very nice room with terrace. Food was very good, although gluten-free options were limited. Great location. Excellent massage. Wonderful lounge area overlooking the sea and nice place to swim in the sea. Nice pool. Lots of hiking, horseback riding, and things to see nearby, including Neptune’s Grotto.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Faro in Sardegna. The hotel is located relatively close to La Pelosa Beach, which made it perfect for spending time by the sea. (note that we had a rental car). The staff were very polite and welcoming. We arrived quite late for check-in, but everything went smoothly without any issues. The breakfast was delicious, and the room was comfortable, spotless, and quiet — I didn’t experience any noise at all. The hotel’s bar and swimming pool were also fantastic, adding to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend Hotel Faro to anyone visiting Sardegna — it’s an excellent place for a peaceful and pleasant getaway.

We found El Faro purely by chance as we were not at all happy with the hotel we were staying at nearby. As soon as we entered the reception area, there was an immediate sense of calm and serenity. We had a sea view room which directly over the bay . The use of the rocks for swimming and, sunbathing or just relaxing and very imaginative. There were so many nooks and crannies to find your own secluded spot. |the staff were excellent. we stayed 4 nights and were completely refreshed and rested. wonderful location, albeit a little remote, but that suited us. |if there was anything slightly niggly was the charge for fresh orange juice at breakfast, wchih for the level of hotel and being in Italy, was slightly bonkers, as it also reinforced that juice on the buffet was not fresh. Plus the small extra charges for certain cooked items. we would also agree with another reviewer 8pm is a little late for the dining room to open. I think most of the other guests thought the same.| But these were all very small issues and did not detract from our stay

This is such an incredible place to stay! The room is basic but the view makes it fantastic. The ladies who take care of the room cleaning, the life guards and the front desk people are GREAT…BUT The waitresses and waiters are kind of rude. The beach is awesome, starfish, fish, gorgeous rock formations. The pools are salt water and pretty cool. The beach huts are stunning.

One of the best - if not THE best - hotel experience I had so far! The rooms overlooking the sea were amazing: clean, quiet, comfy. The location speaks for itself, even though we planned to travel around the island, we always came back earlier so we could spend more time in the pools, the bars and the hotel’s private beach. The staff was super nice and friendly, and service was always extremely fast - even during dinner. If I could, I would give 6 stars instead of 5 :)

Very nice workers. Clean. Perfect location. Negative: 1) The lights of the hotel are too strong at night. They are not turning it off. Its goes inside the room a little bit at night and damaging healthy sleep. even after i closed everything. I complained and she told me: "The stars are too bright". She didn't get it at all and i gave up, she had other things to do. Wifi was also slow and not stable. I decided that it won't damage the rate and i appreciate the stay in the hotel. After all its a place to come back

We have been visiting El Faro for three consecutive summers, staying for an average of 10 days each year. What has always drawn us back is the stunning natural beauty surrounding the hotel, the crystal-clear sea waters, and—above all—the privacy and quietness this place offers.||The front office team has been consistently professional, welcoming, and attentive, making each arrival and departure smooth and pleasant. The maintenance team impressed us by immediately addressing issues—such as fixing our flooded bathroom twice—without delay. Housekeeping kept the property perfectly clean throughout our stay. The lifeguard was exceptionally polite, always smiling, and added to the feeling of safety and comfort. These teams embody the standards of true hospitality and deserve high praise.||Unfortunately, our experience with the Food & Beverage department this summer has been deeply disappointing, entirely due to the F&B manager’s approach. Almost every small request was met with a “no,” and there were repeated, significant delays in service, particularly during lunch. Most concerning was the manager’s refusal to take responsibility for any shortcomings. Whenever we raised an issue, there was never acknowledgment—only deflection, whether blaming hotel policy, suggesting we had misunderstood, or implying unrealistic expectations.||As someone with a hospitality background, I know that mistakes can happen. What matters is acknowledging them, making the guest feel respected, and taking steps to make things right. The F&B manager demonstrated none of these qualities, and this negatively affected the entire dining experience.||I do want to highlight that some of her team members, were excellent—professional, courteous, and a pleasure to interact with. They are clear examples of the service standards that should define the entire department.||El Faro remains a beautiful destination, but the F&B leadership urgently needs to align with the values of true hospitality to match the excellence shown by the rest of the hotel team.
