Stayed here in January. Location was great - just a short walk from the beach and not very far from the beautiful old town. Our room was at the front and the noise from the road was a real let down. The refuse collectors ce a couple of times a week at some ridiculous hour. Often there was shouting and... More

Simple back to basics hotel, but ultimately good value for money. For 40euros I had a studio with terrace and kitchenette incl breakfast. It's next to the old town and 1 min from beach. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only let down is breakfast which is basic and comes only with breads & cakes. No meat or fruit or cheeses,... More

Just returned from a stay at El Faro - our accommodation for a hen party of 10. This is fairly basic accommodation, and not very modern, but if you want clean, comfortable and are on a budget, this is for you. The staff are lovely, the rooms are very clean and the air con makes them very cool. We had... More

The kitchen was not that well equipped but we were only using it to make drinks and use the fridge. The pool was small but we never had a problem getting a sunbed. There was a bit of... More

Our first night was ok but the second night a hen party and stag party arrived, from then our holiday was... More

I stayed for 4 nights in June with 5 friends for one of their hen parties. El Faro made a perfect base for us to explore Marbella and Puerto Banus whether we were looking for a mad night or a quiet one. During the day the hotel was quiet and relaxed, the pool area never got busy. Our rooms were... More

The location is second to none, one minute walk to the beach. Shops and supermarkets close by. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money. Pool was lovely, air con fantastic, nothing bad to say!
