My stay at Faro Mazatlan was surprisingly pleasant, especially for those seeking a quiet getaway away from the hustle and bustle. The hotel offers stunning views from its clifftop location, and the beach down below is peaceful and private. However, accessibility can be a challenge due to the numerous stairs, and the dining options were quite limited, particularly for lunch and dinner. Overall, it’s a good value for those wanting a relaxed vacation spot with a beautiful view.

Rooms

Location

Perched on a hill, the location provides stunning views, though it is a bit isolated from other attractions.

Dining

Dining was limited to just two restaurants with the same menu, and the food quality varied, leaning towards overly salty dishes.

Facilities

The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable; however, the beach access involved a workout with all the stairs.

I have been staying at this hotel for a while now, and while it's not a luxury resort, it offers a nice blend of clean rooms and a friendly atmosphere. The private beach is definitely a highlight, as is the warm pool which is great for kids. However, the food leaves much to be desired, and the rooms could use a bit of an update. Overall, for the price, it's a decent choice if you prioritize a quiet environment and easy beach access.

My family had an amazing vacation at Faro, and I was pleasantly surprised despite some prior concerns. The beach was one of the highlights, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. While the food could use some improvement and the pool was on the small side, the overall experience was fantastic, especially considering how much value we got for our money.

5.0/10

My experience at Hotel Faro was quite mixed. On one hand, I enjoyed the clean rooms and beautiful beach, but on the other hand, the food options were consistently disappointing and the service left much to be desired. I wouldn't rate this hotel as a four-star resort; it feels more like a budget option disguised as something more luxurious.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were clean, but our initial booking for a king non-smoking room was swapped for a smoking room with two double beds, which was frustrating.

Service

5.0

The service was lacking, especially at the front desk where requests often went ignored, and dining staff seemed overwhelmed and unfriendly.

Location

7.0

The location is a highlight, right on the ocean, but accessing the beach requires navigating a lot of stairs.

Dining

Dining was a major letdown; the food was mostly inedible, and the selection was incredibly limited, especially for vegetarians.

The amenities were basic; the pool was quite small and hot, and other activities were poorly kept or in disrepair.

The hotel has a stunning view and is located near the beach, but it falls short in maintenance and dining quality. While my room was clean, the overall condition of the resort left much to be desired, and the service was inconsistent. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere or family-friendly facilities, this might not be the best choice.

The location is decent, just a 20-minute walk to the Golden Zone, but be prepared for a steep walk back.

Dining was a big letdown; breakfast was the only decent meal, and the rest was often unappealing.
