Hotel El Faro

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

We loved the seclusion of this genteel sea front hotel. Rooms were immaculately clean with beautiful sea views.||With regard to the beach/sea, we prefer private rocky coves with clear water over crowded sandy beaches and El Faro delivered! There were always plenty of loungers and shady spots if you wanted to get out of the sun. The entrance to the sea could be difficult for small children or those with mobility issues, but there are two swimming pools. ||Outstanding service at every level. Compliments to the staff and their professionalism. ||The breakfast buffet was ample and some additional items were available for a modest fee. The only complaint we have was the horrible coffee. We tried ordering espresso and cappuccino, but they were just as bad as the American coffee. Finally we resorted to hot tea, but the water was never really hot enough. A small thing to some, but for those of us who can’t wait for that first sip of a good hot cup of coffee in the morning, it was disappointing. ||We ate two lunches and several dinners at the hotel and were pleased with everything we ordered. One evening we drove into Alghero for dinner, but traffic, parking and the town were a circus. We quickly realized that we preferred to stay at the resort to enjoy a good, relaxing meal with great service and a stunning view. ||We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend and return.

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.

Beautiful location right on the beach. We were genuinely taken a back by the setting they have, the photos on their website and online do not do this place justice at all. So many lounge chairs to lie by the pool or beach with lots of privacy. Views are breathtaking! We were there in mid-may and the resort was quiet so it was very peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was great! We didn't have any other food so can't comment. Rooms were a good size with a massive balcony / terrace. Would highly recommend and I look forward to staying here again!

I had a great experience at Hotel El Faro. The room was very clean, and housekeeping did an excellent job every day. The outdoor area was beautiful, with lots of nature and a rocky beach that made the place feel special. I really enjoyed the quiet, private sunbeds and the view of the sea from my room.||The hotel is simple but very well maintained. The staff were kind and welcoming. Breakfast had fewer options than expected, but everything was fresh and tasty. Overall, a peaceful and relaxing stay — I would definitely come back!
