Nov 04, 2025Avoid this filthy hotel with horrible food.
We’ve never been as disappointed with a hotel as we were with this one. The rooms & property were very old and in a state of disrepair. They were also dirty. There were stains on the drapes and furniture & mold / pubic hair in the bathroom. Management promised a “deep clean” after hearing our complaints but very little was done. On top of that, the food was horrible. Due to the late hour, we spent 1 night and moved to another hotel. Otherwise we would have moved immediately. This place should be condemned.

Great experience - a fabulous hotel
We’ve just returned from our first visit to the Dominican Republic. We stayed at the ocean el faro hotel in a standard junior suite, staying all inclusive. We have had an amazing time. Room Junior suite with 2 x double beds. Huge bathroom with jacuzzi bath and separate shower. All toiletries provided and replenished daily. Tea, coffee and mini bar replenished daily with no additional cost. Fully furnished balcony. The room is very comfortable and the housekeeping team ensured everything we needed was provided. Food The buffet is lovely with everything you could want. We tended to use the buffet for breakfast and the restaurants for evening meal. The bread is all baked in site and is delicious! Restaurants Blue moon - our favorite delicious meals - the salmon and asparagus was particularly delicious!! Dolce vita - Italian, lovely meal with standard Italian dishes - this restaurant needed to be booked in the morning Route 66 - diner style burger joint! Run of the mill but a nice change from a la carte Margarita - Mexican - nice meal and some variety for spice wimps!! Steak house - nice bbq style meals with decent sized portions Mike coffee shop is amazing with delicious coffee and fabulous cakes and cookies! Their still lemonade is divine!! A real gem in the hotel! Snack bar - by the pool for something quick for lunch by the pool. The fries are lovely. Hotel The hotel is beautiful, well kept, clean and in a nice location. Pools Lovely and spacious, plenty of room for swimmers and those who like to just sit. Floats are allowed Cleaned daily Plenty of sun loungers - we did not have any issues with getting a lounger - we did. Not witness any sunbed wars!! Lazy river What an experience!!! Far from lazy! But lots of fun!! They do have floats available but in busier times it may be wise to bring your own. Beach In 2 separate parts, the initial part of the beach is rocky but beautiful to the left of the light house is a lagoon section which is calmer and suitable for swimming and paddling. I’d recommend shoes though as the rocks are sharp. I’d highly recommend getting up early one day to see the sun rise as it is spectacular from the beach! We made our way down there at 5.30 to watch it and we are so glad we did, definitely not to be missed Staff The can not do enough for you and are very helpful. We had a lovely young lady in block 8 (floor 2) for housekeeping and although she could not speak English she went out of her way to ensure we were happy and did all she’s could to communicate with us - in our opinion she is an asset to the hotel ( I wish we had got her name now!) Shop Has a good selection of clothes, snacks, souvenirs and essentials like medications etc, it’s slightly higher priced than average but I’d expect that

Bad experience at Ocean El faro
Though check in officially at 3 pm I was delayed about 30 min to get the room. I had a problem with the safe in the room and requested service at 9:45 am the person showed up at 12:30 pm to fix the safe and my morning was just wasted waiting for the service. Their technology doesn’t work if you want to book a restaurant through their app there is no way to get through. If you call from the room front desk or guest service there is no answer.
