Absolutely stunning property. Staff were very welcoming! The property was great! Beautiful pool and many quiet areas for beach views and swimming in the ocean! Good snorkeling right off the property. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast was great. We did not explore any other dining options as we would head out for lunch and dinner each day. Highly recommend this hotel.
Oh my oh my!! This was our 6th hotel in Sardinia and the very best by far!!! The room was spacious, the staff was gracious and the location superb!! Treat yourself and stay here!!!
We loved our stay at the El Faro Hotel! The view from our terrace was stunning! The room was spacious, clean and well thought out. The staff was great. Everyone was pleasant, helpful and professional. Highly recommend this property to my friends and family!
Liked the location on the sea with views. Didn’t like the extra costs for spa and no hot drink facilities in the room

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
This hotel is located in a beautiful area. The water view us spectacular! The room was very basic but clean though. It has a nice area where you can get into the water and swim in the ocean.
Breakfast was ok. We didn't like dinner at all. Go to Alghero 20 minutes away and find countless little quaint restaurants.
We booked panarama and sea view room. Room was clean and well kept (605). The sliding bathroom door was very noisy to open or close due (possibly needed grease or oil?). We would stay at this property if returning to Cagliari.
Beautiful property, very clean, nice and comfortable rooms, friendly staff

We had a great stay. It’s super peaceful and the views are amazing. The food is great too. The only pitfall is that things are advertised in their pictures but are not included, like the spa. They have so many photos of the sauna and steam but they cost.
Incredible resort with heated indoor/outdoor sea water pool. We all loved staying here for 3 days. Very nice bathrooms and great sea front balconies. Highest recommendation.
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.
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.
What a DREAM stay! Book it now! It was so relaxing, beautiful and perfect in every way! We loved the pools, sun loungers and breathtaking ocean views! Delicious breakfast each morning, nice gym for a workout, and the property had us saying “WOW” our whole stay! The staff was so kind and accommodating! We will be back! Thank you El Faro Hotel!
This was our 3rd spot on our two-week trip to Sardinia in May 2024. This place was fabulous. Very elegant, perfect setting, great food, wonderful pools, access to the Mediterranean, highly recommend.
Great hotel. Love the location and the layout of the property. The hotel staff was very professional and helpful in all areas (front desk, restaurant, bar). Excellent restaurant with good selection and very good quality food. We look forward to returning in the future and recommend without hesitation.
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 .
