Hotel Fariones

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at the Hotel Fariones. The staff could not do enough to make you feel valued and welcome from the minute you arrive until you leave again. Nothing is too much for them - a credit to the hotel. The rooms are large and spacious. 10/10 for hotel breakfast, fantastic selection of local and traditional breakfast foods. Hotel buffet dinner choice was good, glad we tried it. The housekeeping team are great and can see they take great pride in the presentation and standards. Rooftop pool was a nice touch for our time at the hotel. All round perfect stay. We hope to return again. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

From the moment we arrived at Hotel Fariones, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The location alone is breathtaking — right on the beach, with soft golden sand just steps away and the sound of the waves creating the perfect backdrop for our stay. The pool area is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water, comfortable loungers, and attentive staff making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. A special mention must go to the spa, which felt like a peaceful sanctuary. The treatments were world-class, leaving us completely relaxed and rejuvenated, and the therapists showed genuine care and professionalism throughout. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the kindness and warmth of the staff. Every single member of the team greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The level of personal attention was remarkable, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about each guest’s comfort and happiness. Manager Emily Maurius deserves the highest praise. Her leadership shines through in every detail — from the smooth organisation of the hotel to the thoughtful personal touches that made us feel so valued. Emily personally checked in with us during our stay, offering recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect. Her approachable, friendly nature combined with her professionalism truly elevated the entire experience. Hotel Fariones isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a place to feel cared for, relaxed, and inspired. We cannot recommend it highly enough and will absolutely be returning.

A very nice clean hotel on the beach for a short break. Overall it was enjoyable. The rooms are lovely but I would say that a standard room is only big enough to accommodate a single person, if going as a couple a suite would be better, I found it too cramped to share. I’m quite surprised the hotel has a 5 star rating, it’s not got 5 star service or I was not personally provided this level of service. The staff were unable to anticipate the needs of guests. I felt I needed to continually ask for basic things I needed like an iron or ice for the room. Water bottles in room were also limited. I expect a 5 star hotel to anticipate my needs. I don’t feel it’s fair to make guests wait a long time for basic items they have requested that should be provided as standard in the room or nearby. I wasn’t sure if there was a laundry service for guests I would have liked to get some clothes washed and ironed but could not find a laundry bag in the room. Unusual for a 5 star hotel. Quite tricky to get the staffs attention for drinks by the pool. Frozen drink on first and second day arrived melted. I was told the hotel was only 60% full when I arrived the breakfast was always very busy with long queues for omelettes , a 5 start hotel should have table service for egg orders. I’ve had a better or similar standard of buffet breakfast at 4 star hotels in the canaries. Some guests were touching/pressing down on all the pastries before choosing which to take. Much of the breakfast items took too long to be replenished for example limited bacon and pancakes available on some days. The food at lunch was of below average quality - was better available outside the hotel. I was very disappointed with my burger it looked like it came from a kids happy meal and no salad on it. Chicken in both the Japanese and with the salad at lunch was below average quality - better available across the street. On the other hand the hotels sangria and cocktails were outstanding. The pool area and gardens while the aesthetics are very nice felt overcrowded. I would not like to be there when the hotel is at full capacity. Some very unsavoury people staying at this hotel. For example some making their own large batch of sandwiches at breakfast, then eating them for lunch at the pool and left the mess behind. No staff came to clear this up. The smell was horrendous. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Other hotels actively deter people from doing this. People were also taking loud work calls on loud speaker beside me at the pool I had to tell them to be quite - I expect the staff should do this. People putting their towels etc on sun loungers very early in the morning and then going away for breakfast etc. it’s been a very long time since I’ve stayed at a hotel where guests are encouraged to behave like this. Seems rather strange. Another example of why this is not a true 5 star hotel. While I realise this is not an adults only hotel much of the online media advertising the hotel does not seem to show any children. This is definitely a family resort full of children in the pool. I think a hotel of this size could benefit from an additional quiet pool area. There were no children’s activities showed in the hotels media advertising, meaning I was not expecting that so many families would choose to stay here. Limited places to eat in the area that I would consider to be of an acceptable standard maybe 3-4 nice restaurants at most. Beach area very good for swimming, again quite overcrowded and limited places to relax there. I was unable to use the spa. Treatment I requested was only available one day per week.

This is a fabulous hotel. Immaculately clean. Sheets changed every day! Towels changed every day, sometimes twice a day when they were doing a turndown. Chocolates were left in the room every evening. Nice little touch! Breakfast was so fresh! Staff were all lovely & friendly! One little niggle, was you couldn't make your own tea's & coffee's, which I prefer, as it was sometimes difficult to get a waiter's attention and then waiting a while for it to arrive as they were so busy! So personally I would prefer to make my own! Great location! Couldn't fault this hotel in any way! Definitely a 5 star hotel!

We've been twice to this wonderful 5-star hotel and will be surely coming back soon. The staff is very welcoming, the hotel complex beautiful and very clean. The same can be said about the rooms, very spacious, with fantastic views to the ocean/pool. For breakfast and dinner the choice is very big, even for fussy eaters. The only problem we had was that it was difficult to get a table outside, when you were more than a party of 2. So we always had very early dinner at 18:30 (otherwise it would be dinner inside).
