"Best restaurant on Intercontinental property. Service was impeccable. The waiters were trained really well and were such gentleman. Food was 1st class. Prices were high but certainly well worth the quality of the food. We celebrated my birthday there and they really made it special. Highly recommend their Pad Thai."

"Our favorite restaurant on the IHG premises. Every dish was 5/5 - super fresh and bursting with flavors. Highlights included: ceviche, octopus, Peruvian corn chowder, and seafood risotto. The octopus in particular was so tender and paired well with the avocado, sweet potato, and beet chunks! Highly recommend this place for its seafood and somewhat local/Mexican-inspired dishes."

"The only good restaurant in the hotel. I had such terrible food the past few days at the hotel paying high prices. Managed to try Faro Blanco on the last night of my stay and I was shocked at how delicious it was. The seafood risotto is actually so flavourful and can really compete with top restaurants in Europe. The complementary prawn bisque and cheese pastry was so delicious too. The view of the ocean with the sound of the waves was wonderful. Thank you for the great end to our stay"

"We had the pleasure of being hosted by Kelvin at Faro Blanco for an elegant seafood dinner. I was impressed with his detailed recommendations and optimal drink pairings. The staff is top-notch and I would definitely return."

"Everything was absolutely delicious! The staff and service was friendly and attentive while the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. We ended up dining in for dinner and had the short rib ravioli, mahi mahi, tres leches with coconut cream sauce, and coconut ice cream. The restaurant also provided a complimentary appetizer with a small glass of shrimp bisque with a cheese flaky pastry puff. It was all so tasty and I've never had a better tres leche anywhere. We would've ate here multiple nights if not for the short trip and definitely plan on coming back for the next!"

"I’ve dined at this restaurant around six times over three visits to the resort, and it has been exceptional every single time — from the food to the service to the atmosphere. The lobster fettuccine is my favorite pasta dish anywhere. On my most recent visit, I tried the Mexican seabass (lubina), and it was the most flavorful fish I’ve ever had. Even the small bites they start you with are unbelievably tasty. Looking forward to coming back every time."
