Days at Hotel Faro flow easily from relaxed buffet breakfasts to long, sociable lunches and destination-worthy dinners. The focus is firmly on quality, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and international flavours.

Ocean Buffet Restaurant
The main restaurant blends buffet and à la carte elements, with live stations and a generous spread of international, Italian, Spanish, Asian and local Canarian dishes at breakfast and dinner. Expect everything from show-cooked meats and fish to vibrant salads, plant-forward options and indulgent desserts. Smart-casual dress applies in the evening.

Callao Restaurant
Set right by the beach, Callao is the hotel’s signature Spanish à la carte. It specialises in elevated local cuisine – think seafood, rice dishes and seasonal tapas-style plates – served with Atlantic views that really come into their own at sunset.

Erizo Restaurant
A stylish poolside à la carte spot serving international dishes for lunch and generous snacks. Ideal for something more refined than typical pool fare without having to stray far from your lounger.

Bars
• Blue Marlin Ibiza Sky Lounge Gran Canaria* – Rooftop, adults-only lounge bar with a Balearic soundtrack, creative cocktails and panoramic views over the lighthouse, dunes and ocean (approx. 11:00–00:00).

• Suru Lobby Bar* – Elegant lobby bar (approx. 09:00–23:59) for pre-dinner aperitifs or a nightcap; beachwear is discouraged.

Guests on Half Board can dine buffet-style in Ocean Restaurant, while Half Board Plus (Half Board Premium) also unlocks set-menu à la carte dinners at selected signature restaurants within three nearby Lopesan sister properties (reservation and own transport required; drinks not included; subject to change).

What All Inclusive typically includes.
