This was a very big property so getting around sometimes required waiting on a shuttle which they would just pass you by most of the times or tell you they'll be back. On my first day I was placed in a room that smelt like mold and I had to wait for hours for them to switch me to a better room. No one answers the phone when you call the front desk so forget about it. You just have to walk to the front desk then wait in line again. The food was below average we had to pick and choose what to eat. That being said the buffet was probably better than the onsite restaurants. I think there is potential for this place to be better but it would start with management addressing some of these issues.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ocean El Faro, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Our stay in the Privilege Garden Suite was nothing short of luxurious, providing us with both comfort and elegance. But what truly made our stay exceptional was our butler, Jose. His friendly smile and genuine care for our family made us feel like VIPs from day one. When our son fell ill with pink eye, Jose went above and beyond, arranging for a prescription to be picked up off the resort. His attentiveness and willingness to assist in any way possible truly made a difference during a challenging time. The resort itself is a paradise, with its new and beautiful surroundings. From the pristine beaches to the lush gardens, every corner of Ocean El Faro exudes tranquility and relaxation. The facilities were top-notch, and we found ourselves immersed in luxury at every turn. Overall, our experience at Ocean El Faro was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks in large part to Jose's exceptional service. We left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the memories we made. We cannot wait to return to this beautiful oasis and reconnect with the wonderful staff who made our stay so special.

We went as a family We really enjoyed the place, everything was nice and they let us stay in the rooftop’s room the whole stay which made us very pleased (we reserved it only for the half stay) Everyone was very friendly For restaurants: the best was el marcado (the buffet) and sakora the rest was normal The sea was nice but unfortunately the time we went (april) was alot of sea weed in the sea so we couldn’t swim in it .

We stayed 7 days and had a great time! Lots to do and we had no reason to leave the resort because of that. The food options are plenty, found that the a lacarte restaurants were the best options. The resort was starting to show some age being almost 6 yrs old but while we were their they were updating rooms and hopefully other common areas like the Waterpark soon to come. The beach infront of the resort is fun to explore but not for swimming. The beach adjacent is white sand and calm. Snorkeling was a great option here with some small fish to observe. The lazy river was great, really wish that they had more floaters though. Had to wait almost 20 minutes one morning for enough floaters for the family to use the river. Once you got going though, lots of laughs. I'd recommend this resort for a family looking to for a week of fun! I can see is going back someday!

If you don’t speak Spanish, good luck ! First I would like to say my stay was supposed to be stress free and it was everything but that ! My first night was terrible because when it rained it rain in my room, not from the overflow but from the actual ceiling. When I went to tell them about it I guess for them this is where it got confusing. They thought they could smooth my $3,000 reservation over with booking my eating arrangements. I could do that myself . If you don’t speak English they go around trying to help , talk or fix anything for you.

This place is beautiful and very clean, well maintained for sure ! Food is overall OK, not the best quality but definetely lots of options ! The service could be better, I felt like most people working there did not enjoy working there and were just doing the bare minimum…Not all though, some were great! The kids water park area had a net that was unsafe with holes on it, my kid fell and got stuck, I shared my concerns but they kept the net there without any warning signs… so just PSA for parents do not trust the kid friendly areas… other than that great stay !

Ocean El Faro Resort - All Inclusive is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the unparalleled beauty of the surroundings.

What truly set this resort apart, though, was the impeccable service provided by the attentive staff. Their warmth and dedication made us feel like royalty throughout our stay. The resort itself was a paradise meticulously maintained, every corner radiating with elegance and charm. Our experience was nothing short of magical, and we can't wait to return to this exquisite oasis of luxury and relaxation!

Room service takes over an hour They don’t fill the minibar unless you call God forbid you don’t tip they treat you like crap There is not enough umbrellas or chairs in the pool area everybody wakes up at 7 and put their stuff on the chairs so they can have one The rooftop jacuzzi it’s a joke is a round tub so shallow the water go to your waste whe. You sit up They spend all the money on the pools and lobby area for that first impression Rooms are outdated if something break they get rid of it and don’t replace it like the chairs in balcony and roof top the first room didn’t have any second one did No high chairs they have like 5 for the buffet area and one in each restaurant Food is always cold and awful Room service takes over an hour Always smell like rotten fish in the buffer restaurant specially at night Terrible customer service all along Really quick to kick out clients from restricted areas and so slow to serve They have categories so if you didn’t pay to be privilege or member they treat like crap We upgraded and experience both end but really not a big difference when it comes to service I would never come back here never ever in my life I have experince such a horrible treatment

Food wasn't great. No toilet paper or towels given daily. We didn't want our room cleaned everyday but toilet paper and towels would have been nice. Language barrier was an issue too.

very satisfied with my stay. at first there was a mix up with the room that expedia advertised that we were going to, no fault of the hotel. but then the room that we received was absolutely perfect. it was right in the middle of the hotel on the 1st floor facing the main pool/bar. so drinks and mamajuana for breakfast were mandatory lol. we visited friends at the el beso adults only side and it was quite boring. very quiet. the staff was super nice and friendly (the men). the woman staff can use some attitude adjustments but i wasn’t bothered. the food had its days. some days it was decent, some days it was trash. you have to make reservations early in the morning for the on site restaurants. italian was trash. sakura, the hibachi was fire. i was there for a good time and to drink, didn’t care too much for the food, just keep me alive lol. overall satisfied and would recommend.
