Went for a quick “babymoon” getaway - came without great expectations, just some relaxing time by the pool to decompress. Instead was blown away by the beauty of the location and the top-notch service. Stayed in Room 25 (a generous upgrade from our booking) and I don’t believe the photos on the website does the place justice! Incredible views of the ocean, and the plunge pool was so key to the experience. Francisco was our concierge and he left the most adorable baby shoes and hand drawn card on our bed at check in, knowing it was our babymoon. When we mentioned to the staff showing us our room that we were actually expecting twins, another pair of booties and another adorable card showed up at turn-down! Knowing I was worried about mosquito bites, he also sent along insect repellent in the evening without any prompting whatsoever. The guacamole and coronas at Happy Hour in the room is such a simple but nice touch. At breakfast, the waiter (I forgot his name!) immediately brought me a pillow for my back without asking. The poolside staff were always quick to bring waters, refills, and move your umbrella for the perfect shading. We were lucky we caught the end of whale season as we would just spend the day laying out and watching whales breech in the ocean in front of us! Food was always delicious - El Farallon is a magical venue. I do wish there were a la carte options so I could sample even more seafood than just the main course. The grilled fish we had was truly perfect though. The blackened shrimp we enjoyed at the family pool restaurant was outstanding. Also - the hotel was at full occupancy (we were told) while we were there, and while it was busy, the service never faltered and the place never felt crowded. I am gluten free and there were always ample options and substitutions made for me - including amazing gluten free churros, and even gluten free cookies to take-away on our car ride to the airport!!! We will definitely be back- hopefully with our 2 babies in tow the next time!
