The drive to it is along a very difficult dirt road

Peaceful and tranquil location

Stayed in April 2024

1. The drive, but with an SUV and air conditioning, we were good. 2. Some mosquitos, but that's what bug repellant is for and they do provide that throughout the property. Really, folks, there weren't any negatives.

Breakfast was ample and delicious: what a feast! Great coffee, hibiscus juice/tea, and also orange juice was provided. Perfect for fueling us for our outdoor activities of snorkeling and swimming. We were in the Bali Room, and the bed was quite comfortable, the shower heats up faster than mine at home, and the little frig was just large enough to stash our fruit in. The views of the hillsides and the Sea from the room were amazing. Loved having 2 patios: could have morning coffee and quiet time in the shade or the sun. Everything is beautiful here. The gardens are lush, and there are many sweet little hidden spots to sit and enjoy. The rooms have lots of interesting decor that has been collected over the years. The Pool is large and beautiful, with great views of the Sea. Beach toys are provided, a swimmable beach is within walking distance, and miles of beach to walk or jog down. The staff is delightful and helpful. The elegance and quiet is simply stunning.

That ou stay couldn’t last forever

Wow! Wow! Wow! No word or picture can make this place justice! To describe the immediate sense of relaxation? Hard. It’s a bit similar to jumping in a warm turquoise sea. Stress is dead upon arrival. (And no, the ocean there is not that warm. Just a comparison). The place is paradisiac. The views. The art. The drinks. Iciel at the bar, Hector at…everything. There have kayaks and standup boards. Do not go there, however, if you want ac, WiFi in your room, loud music, crowds, zillion of restaurants nearby. This is NOT that. This is for people who want to slow down and immerse themselves in pure beauty. Who don’t mind a rough drive to a secluded place. Rent an SUV! If you book an SUV and the car rental tries to give you BS like Europcar did ( “you are 15 minutes late, your suv is gone”), look for a suv with another car company. Avoid that Europcar, btw. Anyway, we only had 2 nights and one full day and yet could unplug totally. No car noise. Watch whales jumping out of the ocean all over, tropical flowers, beautiful birds, artfully decorated buildings… We went kayaking and ended up a few yards from a whale. One a the most magical moment of our lives. We walked on the secluded beach, went in the ocean, took a nap under their rotunda on the beach, watched sunrise, met other travelers, talked to the owners and some staff members… We want to go back.

That we couldn’t stay longer

Loved learning about the history of the place and the artists who built it. The food was great and we loved the staff.

This is not an easy place to get to. You have to appreciate adventure to find it, but once you do… you won’t be disappointed! Make sure to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle.

The eco-hotel was beautiful inside and out! The hosts and their staff keep the grounds landscaped with stunning plants around every corner which attract all kinds of native wildlife. The hotel itself is a piece of artwork from the architecture to the decor. It’s different than any other place than we have ever stayed. It was really a treat for the senses! And the meals we ate there were delicious too.

From the grounds, art, rugs, hand-carved furniture, tiles, library, swimming pool, food - every detail is stunning.

Villa Faro is a family home that has opened its doors to visitors. Every inch of the property is a work of art.

The breakfast was very good, and the dinner was great. They have a four course dinner. The grounds and the beach has so much to see, it takes a couple of days to see it all.

This is a small and quiet hotel, it’s a drive down a long dirt road and is not close to other hotels/ restaurants. This made for a perfect, quiet escape but don’t chose if you like a lovely resort

True paradise, this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. Peaceful, full of nature and glorious ocean views. It only has 8 unique rooms , all with views and crammed with gorgeous folk art the owner has collected over the years. They offer a homely dinner each evening g and have a small bar/ restaurant overlooking the sea. The rooms are cooked by fans and the ocean breeze- no air con and limited Wi-Fi but you go here for peace and to soak in the stunning views , bird life and other nature which is literally on the doorstep.

We didn't order dinner cause of the price but after having breakfast I imagine it was worth it.

Beautiful property with nothing but nature all around. The breakfast was generous and delicious. The staff were helpful and available when needed.

Beautiful Estate, grand views, excellent meals, peace and quiet ! Loved the remote location, viewing the whales, manta rays and orcas. Enjoyed the horseback riding nearby, the snorkeling with sea lions and even the dirt roads were fun. Coffee with a beautiful sunrise from our front porch overlooking the sea of Cortez was memorable. The pool was refreshing if the surf was rough at the picturesque beach. An awesome get away !

Not a single thing other than we wish we had stayed longer.

Absolutely everything. The property was amazing.

An incredible place to stay! Beautiful, awesome location, amazing food and staff!! We would highly recommend!!

Nothing about the place itself - maybe some better directions - we took the inland route through Palo Escopeta as advised but on return we went the coastal route using directions on a blog, it;s much more beautiful and we were able to turn off onto a paved road after about 35 mins, it was much quicker too!

The place is beautiful, the owner's and host were very welcoming and the food was great. The Bali room was a unique experience and I would definitely go back.

We loved all of it

I found Villa del Faro as a treat for the final nights of our stay in Baja and we were not disappointed. We stayed in the Stone Cottage on the beach and absolutely loved it!! Listening to the waves as you go to sleep is wonderful and being able to step straight out onto the beach for sunrise and whale watching was magical. We also loved the grounds, the swimming pool, the breakfasts, the dinners, the chat with other guests, the hummingbirds, the list goes on. We could have stayed forever!

The property is absolutely beautiful and stunning. The views are breathtaking. The property feels like a luxury mansion style compound. The property is very quiet and private It is so vast that you really feel like you are by yourself if you want. The walk to the beach is beautiful amd prestine

Our outdoor bedroom had no screens, which made me a little nervous. We had the family suite and that may be particular to it.

spectacular setting, beautiful grounds and lush garden. Generous suite with multiple covered decks,, ocean view, outdoor kitchen. Total privacy. It felt more like visiting friends than staying in a hotel.
