Posada del Faro

This is a wonderful boutique little hotel in the heart of Jose Ignazio within walking distance of Solera Wine Bar and Lahuella. It operates very much on a trust basis with a charming honesty bar and an open door policy. The rooms are gorgeous, comfortable with great bathrooms and the plunge pool is lovely, set in pretty gardens. The staff are great. Breakfast - served anywhere anytime - is continental and fresh - and staff can rustle up snacks in the form of omelettes and sandwiches. The coffee is the best I’ve ever had. We loved the use of golf buggies for buzzing into town! Winner.

We have been to Posada Del Faro about 15 times! We stay for the month of February. The Posada is PERFECT! So warm and welcoming. The location , one minute walking to the beach could not be better. ALL of the staff could not be more accommodating! We would recommend that anyone who wants a truly relaxing beach experience, the Posada is the place to go. It has become our home away from home, and I must say my wife and I have traveled the world and the Posada is still our number ONE travel spot. If you are a foodie, the restaurants, many of them are walking distant are amazing. We will be back for our 2023 stay in 10 days, Cannot wait!!

Overlooking one of Jose Ignacia's sensational beaches, the Posada del Faro was a great place to relax and unwind after travelling around Argentina. The local airport is a 40-minute flight from Buenos Aires and the hotel is an hour further on in a hire car. It is an easy journey on excellent, well-signed roads.||Our room was large and comfortable with a first floor balcony overlooking the beach - a great vantage point to see the wonderful sunsets.||Wi-Fi was good throughout, there is a well-stocked honesty bar, a dipping pool and efficient, friendly staff. Breakfasts were continental in style but large with freshly-baked breads, a selection of fresh fruit, fresh orange juice and local yogurt.||The posada is on the edge of the community which has only recently been established and it appears to be established for the well-off of the region. Magnificent homes - all newly built - are dotted around both the community (too small to call a town and certainly not a village) and the coastline. There is also a lot of building work going on. Estate agents and design shops dot key sights.||When we were there, the amount of construction meant there was inevitable noise when travelling around although little could be heard from the posada.||We were there at the beginning of December which is very much the start of the season and many of the restaurants and bars were closed which was disappointing. However, those that were open were excellent, if more expensive than elsewhere in Uruguay. The local fish was superb.||Most of the restaurants are an easy 10-minute walk from the posada although there are carts and bikes available at the hotel for those wanting an easier journey. There are also towels, chairs and umbrellas for the beach.||Indeed, beach walks are a 'must' as those on both sides of Jose Ignacia are superb with mostly crashing surf-waves although there are points where it is safe to swim. The beaches are massive and wide expanses with plenty of dunes providing protection from the often bracing winds. On one walk a baby seal came down the beach infront of us and entered the sea.||It was a truly memorable stay and the posada was an ideal base although do check that Jose Ignacia is actually 'open' and not still slumbering as when we were there.||One crucial piece of advice if travelling from the UK, take dollars or Euros or load your travel credit card (such as Revolut) as Sterling is deemed a very poor relation here.

When we entered our room (Privado 4), we were blown away by how large and beautifully rustic it was. We had a balcony with a beautiful view of the ocean. The bathroom was beautifully done with a concrete tub (water pressure and water temp was perfect). There are no tvs in the room but if you must watch tv there is one in the lounge downstairs. The grounds and pool area were beautiful. We were the only people there for two days so we did not experience any noise so I can't comment on that. The closet space was great, with a mini fridge with pop and water. Downstairs there is an honor bar to make your own drinks. The room was very clean. My only complaint was the lack of much of a selection for room service (just tuna salad sandwich and grilled ham and cheese). However, breakfast was tasty and fresh (rolls and croissants, fresh yogurt, granola, and jams. Coffee was strong and tasty. We were able to take a golf cart (provided by hotel) into town for restaurant and some sightseeing. The staff were great, attentive to our every need. Thanks for a great stay!

I dont think there are many hotels in Jose Ignacia, didnt see many .Stayed three nights midweek early December the hotel was not busy only a few rooms were occupied, this changed on Friday when presumably weekenders turned up||This hotel is not cheap. What it has in its favour is a lovely view over the sea and comfortable rooms. The breakfast was very good you could have it in a small downstairs dining room or by the pool or in your room. There was very little noise. However during the day, there was some passing construction traffic. If beach walking is your thing you will not be disappointed you can walk miles along beautiful sandy beaches without hordes of tourists However I understand Christmas, new year and January are very busy. Two things which slightly affected our stay was cool windy weather so we did not use the pool and an empty resort. We managed to find one good resturant open at night which was about 15/20 mins walk away down by the lighthouse, most restaurants were shut midweek but opened Friday as the resort and hotel got busier. Staff were good and helpful. Two tips go for an upstairs room with balcony so you get a better view. Buy bottled water in the supermarket the hotel price I think is excessive, it should be included in the price

We stayed at Posada Del Faro for three nights and had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay.||The hotel has a very pretty and stylish design, both in the reception rooms and our bedroom. All the decoration is beautiful- from the artwork to the items in the library and everything else in between. It is homely and welcoming, simple and comfortable - really the perfect place to stay in Jose Ignacio.||Staff were so friendly and helpful - they gave us many tips on places to eat and things to do. ||This is a place to come and relax and enjoy the quite yet gorgeous town. It has the perfect setting to enjoy sunset, and a lovely honesty bar to enjoy drinks at to your leisure. ||Breakfast can be enjoyed wherever you want, from the bedroom to out by the pool - or inside in the library or sitting room. ||If you are looking for somewhere to relax, this is the ideal spot. We hope to return one day.

We went there to spent a couple of days on the famous beaches of Jose Ignazo. The concept of this bed&breakfast is "being at home" and that is how everyone is treated. Very friendly, open minded and someone is always around just in case you have a question. We have loved this place. Nevertheless we think there is -taking value for money into account- some room for little improvements (e.g. complementary bottle of water, candke lights for the veranda or a flower for your room). But those are only little things. This is a place to come back.

We stayed five nights. Our room was very large, with great views. The staff could not do enough for the guests, they are just great. The posada has bikes and beach chairs, umbrellas that you just borrow. Our stay was a huge pleasure from beginning to end. Cannot recommend too highly. Just go!
