Best Hotels in El Faro, Spain

Fantastic holiday, 3rd time here. The staff are so welcoming and attentive to all guests. The whole complex is kept very clean. The on site restaurant is very good as well. You are within a 7 euro taxi ride to La Cala or Fuengirolla if you want to go shopping. There is great entertainment on poolside every day with bingo etc and at the onsite restaurant 4 nights a week they have live singers who are very good.

It's a pretty big resort that I couldn't find the reception at first. Check in at the main reception and drive back to the room. You can also see the sunrise from the villa in the dormitory surrounding the swimming pool.

First time we have stayed here and in Spain and I can't recommend it highly enough,I'd sent a request for a ground floor due to my husband's mobility problems and our room far exceeded our expectations ,it was the best Apt we've ever stayed in well equipped and spotlessly clean as is the whole complex,the ladies in reception were so welcoming helpful and just so customer service focused a week wasn't enough in this fabulous resort .

Today is 28 September 2022 and my daughter Jill's memory on Facebook was of us sitting in the Lomond Lounge at Glasgow Airport before our flight on 28 September 2019, looking forward to another enjoyable holiday at Hotel IPV Palace & Spa. Little did we know that the dreaded COVID pandemic was on the horizon and would almost bring the world to a stop. I have worked from home since 17 March 2020 and have never been on a bus or a train since then never mind an aeroplane. Looking at the memory prompted me to look at my previous reviews and I found that I did not submit a review for that visit. I know it is a bit late in the day however I want the people who read reviews before deciding on their destination to know that this hotel is first class in every way. Perfect location with unbeatable sea view, comfortable beds, scrupulously clean, powerful shower with constant hot water, good food and most important of all the wonderful, friendly, efficient staff. Our Jet2 Holiday was stress free throughout the flight and we were quickly through customs and luggage carousel at Malaga. The transfer to the hotel was pleasant and the driver wheeled my cases up to the entrance. I hesitated, looked around and felt I was back to my happy place. Walking through reception, smiles were coming in our direction before we reached the desk. Warm welcome as we checked in, asked for a kettle which was delivered to the room shortly afterwards. We couldn’t resist one of the delicious fruity boiled sweets which always sit in a bowl on the desk. Once again, we were on the top floor of the Cesares building. Cases discarded, balcony door opened, elbows on the balcony and taking in the panoramic sea view with the ever present sound of the waves … the most relaxing sound in the world. Housekeeping do a brilliant job, the room was pristine and the bathroom gleaming. Toiletries etc. available in case there was something we had forgotten to pack. Wherever we went in the hotel from Beach Bar, Dona Lola Restaurant, Lobby Bar and Shop we caught up with people we have got to know over the years. They all gave us a lovely welcome and hugs all round. Now most of the people reading this will want to know about the restaurant and quality of food. The Dona Lola Restaurant is spacious and all the tables are covered with lovely crisp fresh tablecloths with proper napkins. Weather permitting; we always opt to eat outside on the terrace, part of which is covered. Their breakfasts make a great start to the day. You can choose a cooked breakfast accompanied by eggs any which way you like … omelette, poached, boiled, scrambled (sorry no Cadbury’s chocolate ones). The continental breakfast is also delicious with a good choice of meats, cheeses, etc. Cava is available and with the fresh fruit juices you can easily mix yourself a Bucks Fizz or Bellini. Once your appetite is satisfied, relax with a big pot of coffee. We tend to take relaxation to a different level as we h

This was a well maintained, clean apart-hotel. The staff we encountered were friendly, efficient and provided useful information. We had hired a car so only used the apartment as a base, preferring to travel for day trips to Malaga, Ronda, Marbella etc. We were able to park for free on the road outside the hotel but imagine this is difficult in high season. We can't comment on the food as we never ate in the restaurant preferring to cook in our flat. For self-catering supplies there is a large Carrefour supermarket in the shopping centre a short walk away. As with most appartments, do not expect all the kitchen equipment you have at home, as it was pancake day when we visited, I needed to buy a flat spatula! But there were all the basics including a sharp knife, a grater and a tin opener. Be prepared to bring washing up supplies and to do your own washing up (as is usual). Daily cleaning is limited to a quick sweep, bin change, changing bath linen and making beds. We did make ample use of the indoor pool. Thanks to previous reviews we knew that swim hats were needed and we brought them with us. They also do not allow bare feet etc. in the lifts but luckily we had brought slippers and soft dressing gowns/onezies for the children to change into after swimming.

This hotel is spotlessly clean with comfy beds and a great shower. We had room 301 which had a terrace. The breakfast was continental but only 2 euros extra for bacon and eggs. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. There isnt a pool but only a 10 minute walk to the beach.Less than 5 minutes walk to the centre of town. We will return to cala de mijas and definitely stay at this hotel again. many thanks to all the staff.

As I have a wheelchair, but can go a few steps, we booked the family room for space for the wheelchair. So living room with sofa, table, tv, and a kitchenett (no cooking plate, as that's not allowed in a hotel), but microwave, watercooker, plates, cutlery etc. At arrival there was not only water in the fridge, but also cava, and some snacks and healthy cookies, which was perfect, as we arrived after midnight. And a bedroom with a double bed, tv, bedside tables and space for clothes. The bathroom has a toilet with essentials (soap, shampoo etc) and a lovely hot, big shower. Breakfast is inside or outside on the roof. They serve bread, ham, cheese, jam, fruit, yoghurt, juice, cereal and small cookies. Also different tea's and coffee,'s. (The only tiny minus is the lack of diversity. Maybe some days serve sausage, an egg on Sunday, etc.) Very friendly and helpful staff and clean room. (A tiny minus to change towels every other day which is not needed, and thinking more environmentally friendly.) The place is very central, close to the beach, the train and bus stations, the markets and the city centre, but without the noisy boulevard. (Yet always bring ear plugs on holiday.) The rooms have darkening curtains. There's a playground outside. We really enjoyed our stay and are already planning for our next stay.
