I loved everything about the El Faro except the dinner menu which needs work to come up to the excellent standards of this lovely boutique hotel. Our room, the views, and the staff were all excellent.

Amazing views and comfy rooms

Posted 15 Jan 2024 on Hotels
The hotel is perfectly situated for amazing lake views. The staff is friendly, breakfast was very tasty, and the rooms are comfy and cozy. The reason it's not a 5-star review is (1) they failed to service our room one of the three days we were there and (2) there were some condition issues of the hotel grounds - the hot tub was questionable at best and the dock on the lake was dangerously weathered. Despite that, I would recommend.

The views were spectacular and the hotel was small and quiet. I would definitely stay here again if I was returning to the area.

Beautiful view

The view is amazing. One wonderful lady Ileene working reception, bar tender (minimal choices). Have to leave property for meals other than breakfast but can order and have delivered from other restaurants. Suggest having a car if staying there.

Beautiful location with amazing views from rooms and terraces. Pleasant rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast choice is perhaps a little limited, though quality is fine.

Fantastic location overlooking the lake and mountains, llovely interior and room, good breakfast, staff excellent. Awkward ( but very picturesque) access along steep very winding drive proved less problematic than we first thought, bearing in mind that the hotel had no restaurant, and was 3 km from the town. Minor fault - the fan in the jacuzzi didn’t work.

Amazing lake and mountain views, quiet

Posted 1 Jan 2020 on Hotels
Beautiful properly next to the lake with large windows and simply amazing views to the lake and the mountains in the background. Large rooms. A quick drive to the Villa La Angostura town, even walkable as there's a pedestrian path next to the road. Simple but nice breakfast with amazing views.
