Loved the staff! All in food service, entertainment, maintenance, front desk....amazing people. Only challenege i had is our toilet backling up. We nirmally dont put paper in the toilet, so it was already having problems when we checked in. Each time, once you called a 2nd time, they were prompt. Outside of that, nothing else to say BUT good things. I am not sure what will happen once it changes hands, they were just bought by another resort company.

I like that the resort is small and you could walk to the beach. The resort needs to be updated. It says it has 5 restaurants but only one restaurant is open at a time for the buffet and the one out of three for a sit down dinner which you need reservations. The game room/lobby needs AC and maybe more night entertainment.

Family of 5 with 3 kids ranging from 8-21 and we stayed for 5 nights. The 2 older ones stayed in their own room. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and the service was generally very good. Swim up bar was fantastic. But I recommend ordering at the bar and not the servers by the pool. Difference is liquor selection and pour. At the bar you can make sure you get what you asked for. Was not that crowded so easy to pick chairs by pool and no concern of leaving for a snack. The main point of issue, of the restaurants they have, 2 are ala carte. You have to make reservations and depending on how many nights you stay you can only make one or 2 reservations during your stay. The ala carte food served was EXCELLENT and our server Orlando was the best! But the reservations and dress code is not noted anywhere on Expedia description or the hotels personal website! You must wear long pants and closed toed shoes at these 2 restaurants. It’s 95 degrees, why would I pack pants! Also the ala carte restaurants are not open every day. The buffets and snack bar is. Buffets were good, not great but everyone ate well. The beach had no umbrellas and water is dangerous to swim in. Lastly, 2 days before we left we were told we needed to change room to upgraded rooms due to “maintenance”. Minor nuisance but our upgrade gave us one less bed. We did end up with a sea view room but we were hardly in our room. Hopefully maintenance was to repair ice machines, none worked.

Lose first 2 days due to chemical smell from air vent and exchange the room - Ended up with 1 King bed instead of double queen due to limited room available. Bathroom facilities smelly and not clean, bathtub stuck, shower looks dirty, not hot water on the last day and managers at the restaurants are rude. I would not recommended this resort.

The property is located in a good area based on stuff we wanted to visit. The staff friendliness was hit or miss. The pool staff was great but the restaurant staff at night we visited the italian restaurant and they seemed short staffed and overworked. We like the restaurants near the property and opted to go out to those instead. Overall the hotel is a decent stay.

The resort is quite average, with rooms that feel quite outdated. The food leaves much to be desired, although the staff is friendly and hardworking. We found ourselves leaving the resort at least once a day for lunch or dinner. There is a nice restaurant just across the street. I wouldn’t consider booking this resort again, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA NADA! 1. Tenía early check in sin costo y no me lo respetaron. 2. Me dieron una habitación que no fue la que pagué, al entregarme la habitación y darme cuenta, pedí que me cambiaran a la que había pagado y si lo hicieron, pero hasta el día siguiente. 3. Olvidé unos aretes en la primera habitación, inmediatamente hablé para preguntar por ellos y me dijeron que no estaban y que si quería levantar una queja, tenían que ir los de seguridad a mi cuarto a revisar TODAS mis cosas y las de mis hijas para asegurar que yo no los tuviera! Esto además con PÉSIMOS MODOS por parte de Christian de recepción. Se portó terriblemente grosero, fue ineficiente e irrespetuoso! 4. En la habitación no había shampoo, ni acondicionador. 5. El agua de la alberca súper caliente. 6. No hay salvavidas en la playa y es mar abierto! Increíble que no haya alguien de guardia. 7. En general mal servicio de todo el staff, además de que claramente necesitan más personal! En la alberca rara vez se aparece algún mesero, pues hay solo uno que atiende a cada alberca. Al ir a un all inclusive, mi intención era no salir del hotel y dado todo lo anterior, me tuve que estar yendo a otros lugares a comer y cenar, así como a otras playas, lo cual hizo mucho más caro el viaje! Orlando, de los restaurantes de especialidad muy amable y los señores que entregan las toallas de la alberca.

The Barceló El Faro is a beautiful hotel from the outside but once you’re there you realize that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. PROS: located across the street from great restaurants and bars. CONS: food is absolutely horrible! We couldn’t find a taco/burrito/birria to save our life. There’s not enough options for lunch or dinner entrees and no meat anywhere besides piglets cut up with their faces still on.. yuck. The hotel has no evening security so anyone can walk on to the property from the street at any time of the night. The all inclusive alcohol drinks are weak at best, even after asking every time for multiple shots inside. There’s no daytime activity programming besides a small trivia game and a ghost DJ that played old country music the whole time while you’re by the pool/beach. It’s México for goodness sake, can we play something else besides Reba McIntyre? Lastly, the hotel is sutated on the rocky coast of the Pacific Ocean and the waters are extremely dangerous. The beach is literally empty everyday because the waters are so rough and there’s no life guards ever stationed to watch swimmers. Very strict rules for restaurants on the premise. No shorts, sandals, flip flops, t shirts etc.. this is México not a restaurant on 5th Avenue. I also took the option of upgrading to a premium package which honestly was a waste of money. They do give you a better room solely because it’s situated by the beach but there really isn’t any difference. BEWARE!
