Far Out Inn

The ‘garden’ view is more of a street view with street lamps lightening up the entire room. The partial sheets of cotton that appear to function as curtains let all the light in. Eye blinds are required to create a sense of night. See attached photos. The street view provided a lot of noise from traffic from one side and the kitchen from the other during day and evening - either dishwasher or washing machine. Ear plugs are required to create peace. We had to eat breakfast in the bed or in other people’s rooms’ terraces. This was not clear from the offering. Orange juice was disappointing. The portion size was relatively small. Coffee is tasteless. Location is good. Yoga fine.

The setting of the hotel was stunningly beautiful. My room had garden views out one window and skyline and beach views from another window. The hotel is perched above the "Playa de la Concha" and is about a 20-minute walk to the old part of town. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The best part of the hotel for me were the free yoga and meditation sessions offered in the mornings and evenings. These were conducted in a spacious, sunlit room with an amazing view of the bay. Yoga mats were available from the hotel. Martina, the yoga and meditation instructor, conducted the sessions in a very relaxing and easy way for people at all levels. The breakfasts were delicious and brought to my room each morning. There is a coffee machine and tea maker in the room, but if you ask, staff will bring a freshly made coffee with your breakfast. There is a wide multi-level stone stairway close to the hotel by which to reach the main drag along the beach directly, and visitors should know that it takes some effort to climb on your way back up to the hotel. I loved my stay at the Far Out Inn and hope to return again soon!

Our room which had a private bathroom was OK. There are two issues with property, the first is the car park which is extremely difficult to enter and exit with a SUV. Also the frontage to the property is very shabby and is rather depressing on arrival. On a positive note, the receptionist was very helpful and has good English. Some other reviews are not complimentary about this accommodation but we thought it was OK.
