Gilbert is a star.
During our stay at the hotel, we enjoyed many great margaritas at the pool bars, but two of them stood out as the absolute best. On our very first day, we had an incredible margarita—perfectly balanced. Throughout our stay, we had a few more, which were good, but none quite matched that first one. Then, in the second week, we finally had another margarita that was just as amazing. That’s when we struck up a conversation with the bartender and learned his name—Gilbert.
After looking back at our photos from the first day, we realized that Gilbert had been in the background, meaning it was him who made that first incredible margarita as well! It all made sense—his skill, attention to detail, and passion for making the perfect drink were unmatched. What truly set Gilbert apart, though, was his exceptional service. He remembered our preferences without us having to say a word—my mum’s margarita just the way she likes it, and mine without salt and always with a straw.
Gilbert wasn’t just an amazing bartender; he made every interaction feel special. His friendly personality and ability to make guests feel valued added so much to our experience. If you’re lucky enough to be at this hotel, make sure to find Gilbert at the pool bar—you won’t regret it.

We had such an incredible stay at Ocean El Faro. We had a swim up suite so every day just had beautiful views and was so convenient. In addition we had a butler named Jose, he was so attentive and made sure my wife and myself were taken care of. He booked all reservations for us, made sure our room was stocked, and took care of any special requests. We could not say enough how great he was, would recommend requesting him personally if possible. Where we were located we took advantage of the Pool Bar by the lazy river. Omar and Danny saw us coming and would have our drink order ready for us, they were excellent. It’s also close to the beach entrance, which we enjoyed some evening walks on. Our favorite restaurant at the resort was Dolce Vita, it is one that requires a reservation. Our server Luis was also a favorite, his recommendations made for an even better evening. The resort is large, but they make sure it is so convenient with multiple pools, restaurants, and a trolley you can catch to help you get around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Ocean El Faro and would love to visit again.

Great Resort, But Service Needs Improvement
I’m currently staying at this resort—three days in, three more to go. The place itself is beautiful, with great pools, a lazy river, and amazing food. The rooms are nice, and the atmosphere is enjoyable.
However, the service is disappointing. Long wait times everywhere—bars, breakfast, even just ordering a drink. You can sit in the lobby or bar area for ages, and no one comes to take your order. Even when you go to the bar yourself, expect a 15 to 20-minute wait. Bartenders are slow, serve locals first, and don’t modify drinks as requested. Even at drink counters, bars, or coffee stations with no lines, the servers take their time instead of being efficient.
Staff understands English but rarely responds in it, making communication frustrating. Overall, it’s a great resort, but the service needs serious improvement. Hopefully, the next three days change my mind.

Our stay at Ocean El Faro was absolutely fantastic! John, Juan and Justina at the Privileged pool were amazing. They were very friendly, attentive and always smiling. Staff at the Privileged restaurant were wonderful too. Always greeted with a smile.
Highly recommend this resort

Jhon at the privilege swim bar is amazing! He always has a wonderful smile on his face and is so attentive! Others should take lessons from him! We travel to all inclusive a couple times a year and I can say without a doubt he is exceptional! Justina is also wonderful!
Shout out to Michael in the buffet and Ramon at the Italian restaurant….also fantastic service!
