The deceitful tactics to get us to attend a sales pitch for their version of "timeshare" really started the stay on a bad note. It also seemed like the appointed service rep. lost interest in providing "above and beyond" customer care after we left before the sales pitch. The service was hit or miss. Specially at the main buffet restaurant. Food and drinks were good, up to expectations. Steakhouse was definitely everyone's favorite. The coffee launge was outstanding, the quality and service made it an everyday must. Overall had a good vibe for families with children with lors of different activities for everyone to enjoy. Unfortunately due to the high amount of seaweed we weren't able to enjoy the beach and it still seemed like a pretty small area.

Ocean El Faro is not just disappointing—it’s dangerous. Rude staff, cockroaches-infested rooms, multiple forced moves, feces in my bed, and meals that made me sick—this wasn’t a one-off bad stay. These horror stories are echoed by countless other guests. Skip this resort at all costs.

This resort was a nice little oasis. Clean grounds, nice pools, friendly staff. Worked out for individuals who are either going as a couples retreat or as a family. The draw back was that the food was only limited from 6-10 for reservations and others as first come first serve won’t take you after 9:15 and have to go to the buffet or American dinner which was average. The restaurants for reservation were good. Sakura was amazing. We upgraded our rooms to a swim up for a reasonable amount at check in and they said the room would be available at 3 which is regular check in time and we arrived at 1. We updated 2 rooms, first one was ready at 4:15 the other was ready at 6:30. We couldn’t get anyone to clean our rooms, we would reach out to our guests services specialist before breakfast and he would send someone out as soon as possible but would take nearly the whole day for someone to arrive, average time was around 5pm. The beach was nice, we did an excursion and the beach there was much more cleaned. It wouldn’t been nice if they would rake out the sargassum, the other beach (excursion) was less than 10 minutes away and perfectly clean and clear. The resort land is huge, more consistent cars should be present when taking guest from one end to the other end of the resort. It was a nice newer resort but for the upgraded rooms with swim up and lack of attention for the rooms by request made it unpleasant.

The hotel is beautiful with a stunning lobby and bright, spacious, comfortable rooms. We had an issue with our first room due to water damage and a terrible smell, but staff quickly moved us to a great new room. Room service and housekeeping were excellent, and they easily provided a rollaway bed. There’s plenty to do: bowling, a small but nice family lounge, and a kids club with no complaints. However, the timeshare salespeople were extremely pushy, approaching guests constantly to sell upgrades, spa services, or activities, which felt intrusive. The biggest downside was the food. While restaurant interiors and selection were impressive, the taste and quality were very disappointing. Many dishes were overcooked, dry, and bland. Grilled meats tasted slow-cooked, chicken and seafood were often dry, and rice and pasta lacked flavor. The only highlights were fresh fruits, good cheese, and greens. Service was good, but the food was a letdown. Other issues: not enough pool towels after 11am, not enough tubes for the lazy river, and lots of seaweed on the beach, with only a small section cleaned, making it impossible to access the water. On the bright side, the hotel made my husband’s birthday special, decorating our room and surprising us with a whole cake at dinner. Overall, it’s a gorgeous property with great rooms and service, but the aggressive sales tactics, mediocre food, and seaweed take away from the experience.

Came here with my husband and 11 year old daughter for family time before the arrival of our second baby. When we arrived the lobby was really nice as shown in the pictures. However the room was horrible. It had a horrible smell, like wet old wood and the pillows had mold and they didn't care to change it. The furniture looked beaten down and broken. Every day I was there I dreaded being in the room. The food was average, the morning cooks in the buffet were sometimes very nasty, I was there for 5 days and went to the buffet for breakfast and lunch and not once was I asked for the servers if I would like to drink something. They were either too busy talking by the door or setting up tables. The best food was the steak house. The pools didn't looked like they were clean or treated properly. It lacked activities every night was karaoke night. The newsletter sent and scheduled show they would have a show and sometimes it didn't happened because of karaoke. The best night was the silent party. All the people we got to interact with complained about the same rooms did not look like in the pictures, they were not nice and the lack of activities. In summary is an ok hotel with potential to do better if they renovate their rooms, is sad for a 6 yr old hotel for the rooms and facilities to look the way they do. I definitely wouldn't go back.

This was a great, family-friendly resort. We traveled with three kids (13, 4, & 3) and everyone had a great time. The beach was a no-go. The seaweed is beyond anything I have ever seen. We never even got to touch the ocean. But the resort made up for it with all the activities, pools, lazy river, Waterpark, etc… the food was okay. Definitely not great. But there was something for everyone to enjoy and we had a great stay.

Overall, this is a good resort for a family vacation. Our concierge Kevin made our stay easier and more enjoyable with professionalism. We highly recommend him! Our rating: 6/10. Here's why: -Lobby & Staff: Beautiful, clean, and a great spot to relax with drinks. The welcoming staff here stood out. -Beach: Unfortunately, it was not accessible due to heavy seaweed and natural debris. Very disappointing. -Food: Pretty average. The buffet lacked variety and the food was often cold. The à la carte restaurants also had limited options. -Rooms: Comfortable and well organized, but there’s a strong musty smell due to humidity. This needs serious attention. -Activities: Good range of activities at the pool and evening events at the plaza, you shouldn't get bored. -Customer Service: This is where the resort fails a bit. While some staff were friendly, overall service lacked energy and attentiveness. Ocean El Faro should invest in training their team to deliver a better guest experience.
