MUR Hotel Faro Jandía

Stayed here for ten nights n March in a superior sea view room. We had stayed here about nine years ago and enjoyed the hotel and the fabulous beach. The hotel is very well situated to walk into Moro Jable. The hotel itself is excellent. The rooms, the dining room. the bar and the pool area are well maintained and very welcoming. The staff are very friendly. The bar prices are very reasonable and there is a water and ice dispenser in the bar area by the pool where you can help yourself to cold drinks. Sadly, the food was a big disappointment. We stayed on half board and the breakfast was OK although there was no porridge! The dinners were a big let down. Not a lot of choice and very repetitive. The cooking station provided very small pieces of fish or thin steak not very well cooked.

I don't usually return to hotels, I take the attitude that it's a big world and there are thousands of hotels to choose and it's always exciting trying new places. However I had been here on a solo visit about 10 years ago and was impressed so thought I'd revisit it with my partner, and guess what, I'm even more impressed! We had a top floor superior Seaview room, which was well worth the extra. The room was extremely spacious with a huge balcony complete with table chairs and sunbeds. The bed was comfortable with nice quality bedding and towels, it had everything you could wish for including beach towels, sunhats, robes and slippers. I enjoy showering and the shower was excellent, plenty of hot water with good pressure in a spacious cubicle. Lighting was good for applying make-up etc with a separate shaving mirror. The hotel was dominated by German guests however I find that the Germans have high standards so for me this is a plus. We were on a half board basis, breakfast was more than adequate, I found the eggs to be especially good. Dinner was always very good, there was always something to tempt,we particularly liked the white linen table cloths and napkins, I hope they persevere with it as it certainly adds a touch of class to the room when so many other hotel restaurants seem to resemble school canteens, could even add candles in the evening? We never got to use the spa so can't comment but I'm sure it's outstanding. Lastly the staff, absolutely outstanding, everyone we came in to contact with was brilliant and couldn't do enough for you, they even arranged for me to watch a particular football match in my room. We will return.

9 lovely sunny days at this hotel cannot fault the hotel deserves its 4 stars. Used the spa very good everything clean and spotless loved the table cloths in resturant not like some hotels wooden tables sprayed with cleaner after use. Evening entertainment a bit iffy Food a BIG let down specialy the cooking stations food under cooked chicked, fish raw! coud not be eaten for fear of upset tummy felt guilty leaving food on plates to be taken away, but there is plenty of salad and desserts a plenty. did not go hungry. Will not be back but not because of the hotel its just a bit quite after dark for our liking in the resort.

A lovely hotel in a lovely place. Great value for money. Staff excellent, really nice, friendly helpful and professional. Definitely a hotel we we return to. Big shout out to Ivan on reception, very helpful chap.

Ein wunderschönes Hotel, zwar in die Jahre gekommen aber sehr sauber. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und nett. Das Speisenangebot könnte ein wenig mehr Auswahl bieten und das Essen sollte heiß bzw warm und nicht lauwarm sein.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel, nice homely, traditional feel to the place. The staff were all exceptional. The main nationality of guests is German and this is reflected in the food which we found to be very good. Just don't expect a full English fry up or pie and chips. The bar prices are very reasonable and we loved the location all be it situated between shops and amusement arcade on the main street. Once inside the hotel it's peaceful and welcoming. Main age group of guests was over 60 , though more families did arrive for Christmas period. Kettle in room and some water on arrival provided as well as some bathroom toiletries. We would definitely return to this hotel.

Gutes Hotel mit sehr freundlichen Personal und absolut ruhig,lädt ein zum Wiederkommen

TA members from the UK will notice that there not many reviews on this hotel so forgive me if I post a long summary of the hotel and its facilities We arrived for a 5 night stay with Jet 2 and the transfer took one hour twenty minutes which allowing for one drop off in Costa Calma and three as we entered Jandia did not seem too bad. The front of the hotel is not grand but walking through the door and its like a different world. Only one other couple got off the coach with us and we beat them to reception where we received a quick check in and a drink . A friendly porter took us and our luggage to our room (315) and gave a quick explanation of how the free safe worked. Ours was a pool view room and I had asked for a room off the ground but we could still see the sea from the balcony. Our room was spacious with 2 single beds, a settee, chair, fridge, TV, kettle and plenty of draw and hanging space. The bathroom had a walk in shower, bidet, hair dryer, toiletries and good sized bathroom towel. On the balcony was 2 chairs and 2 sun loungers and was very private unless you stood right on the edge. The room was very quiet except in the bathroom where you could hear voices from somewhere else in the hotel. The TV only had a couple of English speaking news channels, one English speaking film channel but on some channels you can change the audio to the original recorded language if English. The air conditioning is good and sometimes we needed to turn it off. The restaurant is on the ground floor so there are some tables to eat outside and notices ask for men to wear long trousers. ( More of that later). Many tables are for 2 only because this hotel seems to be popular with mature couples and the food is by way of a buffet. The hotel only has 214 rooms so there is not the widest choice of hot food available at dinner but there is show cooking for fish and meat. Breakfast has omelettes to order , egg, bacon, small sausages and sometimes beans as well as cold meats etc. Service is excellent, coffee at breakfast brought straight away to your table as you sit down and tables cleared and reset straight away. At dinner your drinks order is taken quickly and I was surprised what good value the drinks were for a 4* hotel. House wine 4 euro for a decent sized glass and a 750 mil bottle 18 euro. Not all waiters speak good English as their second language but their enthusiasm for their job outweighs any mistakes. There was never a queue in the evening for tables There does not appear to be any day time entertainment activities, not even Aqua Aerobics but there is nightly entertainment 6 nights a week. This is either a singer/s, acrobats or dancers, some are quite good. Table service at night in the bar and attendance varies but the stools at the bar are very popular. There is a Spa offering massages and beauty treatments. There is an indoor pool with a reasonable temperature, sauna and steam room. The latter was popular and I find it great to sit in the buff in the sauna with different nationalities late in the afternoon to learn more about other guests. The main pool is not large but the sun loungers are good quality and despite notices you always get the odd idiot who insists on putting their towel out early and disappearing when there are always spare beds throughout the day. The beach is only 200 metres across the road, sandy and wide with all the facilities you need. The pool towels are large and good quality. Free Wi-Fi is provided but I found it impossible to access in my room but was good downstairs. The notices for men to wear long trousers are all around but this resulted in men wearing jeans and trainers which to me defeated the point and maybe smart dress shorts should be allowed . The majority of guests were German with a few English , Belgium and Spanish. I would compare this hotel to a good quality RIU with excellent service and comfort. The location for the shops and beach is good and I would definitely recommend this hotel for older people rather than families with children or you couples wanting night life I will hopefully return

Lovely hotel with very pleasant and helpful staff. Food choices not the greatest but still plenty to choose from.

I have stayed in this hotel three times previously with my wife however on this occasion I returned for a weeks holiday with my son to get some pre winter sun and relaxation playing golf at three of the islands golf courses. On this occasion we booked a package through Jet2 Holidays staying in a sea view room on a half board basis. Our flight arrived on time late in the evening and the worst thing about this hotel is that it takes about 1 hour 15 minutes in a bus to transfer and this can be worse if the holiday company is dropping people off at other resorts such as Costa Calma. This time we were lucky and the bus took us straight to Morro Jable and we were third to be dropped off. A good option to this is to book direct with the hotel for a minimum of 10 days and the hotel will give you a free courtesy transfer. Arriving at the hotel is strange due to the amusement arcade adjacent however once you enter into the hotel and witness the surroundings you are made very welcome . The receptionist also noted that I had stayed in the hotel previously which was nice and after a quick updating on restaurant times etc we were allocated a room on the 6th floor which gave us a wonderful view. The hotel also provides late arrivals with a cold buffet in the restaurant which was gratefully received. The room has the same decor as the one we had the first time we stayed in 2015 but it is spacious and has a good balcony for sitting out The bathroom has however been refurbished to a good standard. Breakfast and Dinner are served on a buffet basis. We particularly liked the freshly made orange juice at breakfast and we thought the breads and pasties were excellent. The hot food could be slightly warmer and sometimes the choices were to say the least different but you have to remember the vast majority of the hotel guests are German so choices are geared accordingly. Dinner again was geared to the German market but on the whole were good with the deserts being excellent. Personally I would have liked a greater cheese selection. Drink prices were very reasonable and my son and I enjoyed a different red wine every night . All excellent. The one huge asset this hotel has are the the staff. They all work extremely hard. Juan in the dining room runs about, constantly on the go making sure you are attended to. My son enjoyed the gym and spa however remember there are German guests so you are sure to meet naked bodies in the sauna. The hotel is very well placed in the town with that idyllic beach across the road. It really is second to none. The hotel is also close to shops if you are looking for a branded item or a 15 minute into the old town. On the last day of our holiday we had a late flight so we decided to play golf which meant an early checkout. On speaking to reception they assisted with this and kept our luggage and gave us a courtesy room on our return to allow us to shower and change. Thanks again Faro Jandia I am sure I will return at some point
