We spent 16 nights over Christmas and New Year at the Fariones and had a great time. The Hotel is beautifully and tastefully renovated with subtle luxury in a classic mid- century design which you would typically find in smaller boutique hotels. Many old features of the traditional Fariones Hotel were kept which all together provides a very comfortable and classy and elegant atmosphere without being stuffy or fussy. The grounds and garden resemble top luxury resorts in Thailand or the Maldives with plenty of palm trees, exotic gardens and many different and private areas for lounging, sun bathing, relaxing and so on. All 3 restaurants have their own style with great food and service. All rooms have sea views with a high level of comfort, design and decoration The sports center 2 minutes walk away although a little older offered everything needed and more... The hygiene concept was professional and taken seriously Hotel Director Jörg and his team made great efforts during Christmas and New Year with a classy programme of dining, entertainment, live music and daily piano sessions which all in all provided a very festive atmosphere. The multinational team of the Fariones displayed a very positive spirit. The hotel opened only a few month before the holiday season and it seemed that everone was exited to be back in business ater 4 yers of renovation. Despite the reopening there was not a single negative service moment in over 2 weeks. Just to name a few staff members who made it a special stay for us: Arnaud, Emilie and Javier from reception. Fransisco, Anna, Miriam and Elke from Guest relations. Marco, Elizabeth, Veronica, Ivano, Isaac and Julius from service Harriet and Patrick from Kaori The Lobby bar team Thanks to the Fariones team for a great Holiday I wish you all the best for the co ming months in this challenging pandemic times. We are looking forward to comin back at easter! A.T. (#624/625)

Always heard mixed reviews of the Canary Islands but having read about Lanzarote we thought it may work for us as it’s less developed and we can avoid the mainstream crowds that tend to go to Tenerife. Either way we weren’t expecting much, but given COVID we had to get out from London and with a 2 year old this was a convenient direct flight with sunny weather. I booked the Fariones even though it was much more expensive (like 3x) the average but this was our only holiday in the past year and the last one before our second baby in March so we splurged and booked a suite. This was honestly one of the most beautiful and well designed hotels we’ve ever stayed at and having lived in New York for 10 years we’re not easily impressed. Not only was it brand new but it was so tastefully done and perfectly designed from an accessibility perspective. The service was the best part, we were made to feel special everyday and ended up extending our 5 day trip twice to stay there for almost two weeks. One of our best nights was in the Cuevo Dona Juan which is like a speakeasy underground mixology bar hidden beneath the hotel. Ivan the bartender makes amazing drinks there, and if you stop by I highly recommend the black negroni. Only recommendation would be they update their playlist, but what a beautifully designed bar. Thank you to all the staff especially Elke, Wallace, Anna, the manager and all the staff at the poolside restaurant where we’d eat everyday and the housekeeping staff which took such good care of us and our daughter. We hope to see you again soon!
