Beautiful one bedroom apartment located in front of the sea ideal for a couple or even a family of 4 members, has a beautiful view of the sea of crystalline waters from the balcony, where you can enjoy and relax in addition to being equipped with everything necessary for vacationers. You can also enjoy a pool with an ocean view practically on the beach.
The location is what is fabulous about this place. 5th ave right up the street which is good/bad as you are on the street side with this apartment & the noise is CRAZY unless you are staying out till 3 am every night. The sanitation truck comes in the morning around 9 am so it sounds like someone is pressure washing the building for an hr. The place has good space for 3 adults (daughter slept on the pull out couch). King bed in bedroom is very comfortable BUT the pillows are old & need to be changed. A/C in living room went out on us for 1 night, Ana was able to get it fixed the next day. Communication was easy through What's App. Kitchen needs to be updated as cabinets are old but we ate out so was great just to have it for frig/microwave. Water cooler was bonus! Pool is the BEST (right on the beach)! Front desk people day/night were FABULOUS! Would not stay in this unit again as it was too noisy (stayed at another unit before inside the building which was so much better) but love El Faro for location/pool/staff!
We have stayed at El Farro once before. This time unfortunately the floors and one bedroom closet were very sandy when we arrived. The maid must have forgotten to clean them as the bathrooms and bed were done perfectly. Management sent someone in the next morning to clean them. The maid herself was surprised to see all the sand on the closet shelf. We got locked on our balcony as the handle was very loose and would not catch to open and a glass door fell off a kitchen cupboard. I had to climb through the kitchen window to open it from the inside. Again someone came in to fix the issues the next day. Our only other issue was that this time we had a unit on the street side. We could still see the ocean from our balcony but we could hear the loud music and people talking until three each morning. If you have difficulty sleeping with noise I would recommend a unit facing the pool. We were on that side the last time and it was considerably quieter although you could still hear the noise if you liked to open your window at night. We do but couldnât this time because it sounded like the music was in our unit when the window was open. With it closed it felt like they were on the street serenading us! Aside from these unfortunate experiences the complex was very clean and the pool overlooking the ocean was a very peaceful place to relax and rejuvenate.
