Unique rooms and stunning views.
Had a wonderful stay. Perfect place just to relax after a busy 2 weeks travelling the Philippines. Highly recommend it if you are fine without some luxuries like airco - the very unique rooms and views to die for make up for it through and through. As anywhere in the Philippines - the most wonderfully and friendly staff ready to assist with anything.

We liked quiet spot with water front views. Room's we're quirky and open, but would have appreciated air conditioning and WiFi extender to the room. Also no coffee available 24/7. This would be nice. And mistakes made with invoicing in hotels favour with no apology

Das Al Faro Cosmio Hotel ist eine Unterkunft mit herausragendem Service und einem besonderen Flair. Die Zimmer sind als Bungalows gestaltet, die an einem steilen Hang verteilt und von vielen tropischen Pflanzen umgeben sind. Die Fenster der Bungalows sind nicht verglast, sondern haben nur ein grobmaschiges Gitter, sodass es keine Klimaanlage und nur einen Ventilator gibt. Durch einen angenehmen Durchzug vom Meer her kann man aber dennoch sehr gut schlafen und die Ufo-artigen Bungalows schaffen eine einzigartige Atmosphäre im Hotel. Die Angestellten sind sehr zuvorkommend und haben uns mit Namen angesprochen; es gibt nur ca. 12 Zimmer, sodass das Hotel nie voll wirkt. Zum Hotel gelangt man nur per Boot, der Transfer auf das Festland ist aber jederzeit möglich und kostenlos. Da sich rund um den Anlegesteg am Festland nur ein weiteres Café befindet, ist man de facto zu jeder Zeit auf das Hotelrestaurant angewiesen. Auch bei der Fahrt vom/zum Flughafen hat man praktisch keine andere Möglichkeit, als den Flughafentransfer von 2,000 PHP zu wählen. Die Preise des Hotelrestaurants sind zwar unter europäischem Preisniveau, aber doch 2-3x so teuer wie das normale philippinische Preisniveau in Restaurants und Cafés auf der Insel. Als Gast sollte man sich dessen bewusst sein und ein ausreichend großes Budget für den Aufenthalt im Al Faro Hotel einplanen - uns hat diese Situation etwas überrascht, aber dem Genuss des Aufenthalts keinen Abbruch getan.

Our 4th visit
We have stayed Al Faro 4 times now and always found it to be excellent in every way. The staff are all extremely friendly, welcoming and efficient. The hilltop position is stunning and the pool fabulous. Food is always very good and varied. Being picked up and dropped off by speedboat always makes it special too. Rooms are very comfortable and have stunning views.

Great for a getaway
We spent 3 days first in Al Faro then 3 days in the town and were suprised by the stark contrast between the two. The former can be a little quiet, if you seeking to relax and admire the beautiful views, but can be too boring as you are isolated. The latter is chaotic and dirty but you have more access to services and attractions in the area, bar/ restaurants, bank, boats, hot spring etc.

Lovely setting
Great range of excursions available. Really enjoyed the snorkelling. Views of sunset are unsurpassable.
Food cooked well. Friendly and helpful staff.
Could do with slightly more communal space around the pool/bar/restaurant if large groups staying, but veranda by bungalow helps make up for that.
Very popular location with plenty of people choosing to spend an evening there even if they’re not residents.

Très beau mais très cher
Très bel hotel avec une superbe vue. Service impecable et ils organisent des excursions pour le island hopping.
2 points négatifs a apporter: La localisation: il faut savoir que pour accéder à l'hotel il faut impérativement les contacter car le seul moyen est par la mer.
Le prix des boissons et repas: beaucoup trop cher.. ils se rattrapent sur le fait qu'ils sont isolés et du coup augmentent le prix des consommations. A cela, il faut encore rajouter 7% de service charge.

Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, few amentities
My husband and I visited Al Faro for one weekend. The island was beautiful and the staff were friendly and accommodating but there were fewer amenities than we expected: WiFi was only turned on from 6 am to 10 pm and available only in the dining area, no air conditioning, no hot water, and no conditioner (shampoo only). When the WiFi was on, we still had trouble connecting. Overall, it was a nice, relaxing weekend but we would have enjoyed it more if we knew what to expect.
Also, expect to spend a lot of money once you do arrive at the hotel - you can visit nearby islands during the day but it cost about $40 a trip, exclusive of island fees and meals. There isn't anything walkable around the hotel either so the only food option was at the hotel. It's also useful to know that you can settle your bill with credit card but they add a 3% fee.

Bel hôtel très calme et bien situé mais.......
Bel hôtel très calme mais situé tout en haut d une colline qu'il faut grimper à pieds.... Pas évident pour tous.
Vue magnifique mais piscine avec eau trouble pendant tout notre séjour. On ne voyait pas nos pieds dans 1,20 d'eau. Notre récupération au port a été oubliée et nous avons dû attendre plus d une heure en pleine chaleur avec notre fille de 3 ans après 4h de bateau.
La nourriture au restaurant est basique et plus chère qu ailleurs. La chose la plus folle, que je n ai jamais vu dans tous les hôtels que J ai fait, c est qu'il faut aller demander à la réception à chaque fois que l on veut de l eau chaude pour la douche....
Incroyable. Personnel très sympathique mais il manque très nettement un responsable pour répudier à toutes ces contraintes pour que cela soit top !

Beautiful hotel with stunning views. Room with separate terrace with day beds and hammock was brilliant. Great food and staff. Lovely pool and massage area. Nothing we didn’t like but it would be good to have some flat sun beds around as well as the shaped ones? Would also have been nice if the bar could have stayed open later.

Little pearl with beautiful sunsets
Very beautiful small resort with pool in well kept hilly garden area. The swiss owner is a little atrist with a sence of unorthodox architecture. He and his staff is very helpful and friendly. They use solar panels to produce electricity, so it's not enought to run aircons or TV. But end of February there was always a cool brise at night. Good food at the restaurant. Close by you'll find the best snorkelling in Coron area: Beautiful Pass island and Lusong coral garden. Boat costs 3000 pesos for more than 2 people, 2500 pesos if you are alone or 2. There are Kayaks,, free for guests. Take them to explore the nearby wreked waterplane ore the mangroves. You'll stay on a hilly peninsula far away from Coron: So don't expect any nightlife, be satisfied with the sunset and the calm of nature. Only disadvantage are the noisy fisherboats leaving the bay in early morning.

Genial, wir hatten Glück das letzte Zimmer für 4 Nächte über Silvester zu ergattern. Auch im Lonely Planet wird dieser Juwel empfohlen und es hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir weitere 7 Nächte geblieben sind. Perfekte Location, toller Blick vom Pool, Tauchbasis mit super Wracktauchmöglichkeiten 2 Minuten entfernt, Bootstouren ab Hotel zu den umliegenden Inseln, Massagen und Yoga. Auch Motorrad/Roller Verleih wird angeboten und hat problemlos funktioniert. Man hat hier nicht den Trubel von Coron aber alles was man sonst so braucht. Die Duschen sind entgegen mancher Bewertungen Warm solange man Bescheid sagt an der Rezeption wenn man es benötigt. Auch Wifi funktioniert wenn man mal den richtigen Hotspot gefunden hat. Preise/Qualität für Essen und Getränke für Hotel voll in Ordnung. Unsere Favoriten Kinilaw und Lato-Salat. Normal sind wir keine Wiederkehrer aber hier würden wir tatsächlich wiederkommen. Danke Al Faro!!!!

This place is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, and I've stayed in many beautiful hotels like London's The Shard and Bali's Ayana Resort. This place is amazing in a non-boujie type of way. It's simple, yet breath taking. The staff is extremely accommodating and the ambiance is so relaxing. There is no wifi in the room, so be prepared to be in the moment and enjoy everything technology-free. The way up to the reception area is a bit of a trek, so be ready for some daily exercise! The staff was kind enough to upgrade us to what they call the 'honeymoon suite' and as soon as I got a glimpse of the view, I had to stop and think 'what did i ever do to deserve this -- to wake up to this everyday for the next few days...' I am so grateful to have experienced this hotel. I definitely plan on coming back. Maraming salamat po, Al Faro Cosmio 💖
