This is a designer hotel and while the inside is perfectly fine, it is externals that are truly impressive. The hotel is focussed around the terraces and pool: facing rtght out to sea on a rocky coastline with nothing between you and - well, the horizon. The architecture is stylish, and I particularly liked the way the terraces merge in... more

This place comes with a crazy location, on a rocky cape, less than a champagne cork's throw from the water, The design is rather designish, (modern but not very special if you've stayed in a few 'modern' hotels. The staff is very friendly and service-minded, though. See my images and a more indepth review here: http://www.guidebook.se/?p=607 :: h :: more

Farol has a great design, trendy but still classy. The pool area is build over the sea what makes the landsscape very impressive. We took the advise from one of the Tripadvisor reviews and booked a standard room. Room was quite small and had not had a beautiful view, but it was nicely hidden from other guests. Every afternoon when... more

We stayed for one night on the 24th of April. I had a booked a landview room and specified that i wanted to be in the modern part of the Hotel (thanks to the previous reviews). The Hotel is really in a very nice location, litteraly sitting on the sea. The Terrace is modern, with up-to-date chairs and table and... more

We stayed at the Farol Design Hotel on the weekend of 19 to 21st June 2009. We were given a standard room in the older part of the building. The room was small, some 13 square meters, plus bathroom. It was nicely decorated, but not really what we would expect from a design hotel; the design rooms are in the... more

We've stayed at the Farol 4 times in the last couple of years & are going back again in June, we absolutely love the hotel. The standard rooms they have are by no means 5* but everything else about the hotel more than makes up for it. Having a yummy breakfast overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is the best way to... more

My Fiancé and I stayed at the Farol Hotel for 2 nights at the end of June and found the Farol the be the perfect luxury getaway from a stressful London life. As soon as you walk up to the hotel you can see straight through the hotels floor to ceiling glass doors to the Atlantic Ocean. The pool area... more

Although the Farol reviews we read on tripadvisor were not very encouraging, we still decided to give it a try for our honeymoon based on the extremely appealing website of the hotel...But what a terrible mistake. The website in question is misleading... "We do not have anyone to help you with the luggage and the pool is out of service... more

As you walk into this hotel and witness the stunning views and contempary surroundings you feel you have found fantastic place.This soon changes when you realise that the fundamentals of running a hotel are not understood here. Staff are polite but woefully short of training and the rooms are poorly maintained and basically cleaned, a long long long way off... more
