It was an absolutely wonderful evening. Such a beautiful setting, the sunset was spectacular. Our Server was so caring and attentive, the food was delicious, and served hot. We are here in Aruba for the first time, celebrating our 32nd anniversary, and Faro Blanco was our first dinner reservation, what a great way to start our time here!

The experience was wonderful! The view, the ambiance left nothing lacking. The food was really good. My husband and I both had a pasta dish. The waiter was very good, but I think he got a little too busy. The overall was fantastic! Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Beautiful all around. Great food and wine selection. Gets a little overwhelming at sunset if I’m the bottom deck due to the loads of people taking pictures. They will not hesitate to stand directly next to you for that perfect shot or even interrupt your dinner to take the pic for them! Upper deck table highly recommended

Faro Blanco is a fantastic restaurant, the food was amazing the setting is great and the service was really good. The only knock I would put on it, was that it was pretty expensive, but everything was great so it wasn't too bad.

My daughter and I had an amazing time, wonderful ambience, food, service- it was beautiful. Citronella candles on the deck would have been great since mosquitoes were biting a bit. Other than that, lovely lovely experience.

It is a great location with the sun setting in the background. The food and service are always top notch and were in excellent form during our visit, especially considering they had only recently reopened. Highly recommended!

We requested for 4 cappuccino Were told by the waiter that the coffee machines “was broken” I Think it was more like they didn’t want to use it cause it was already cleaned.

Food presentation was lacking! Service was slow (refills took awhile)! Introduction do the restaurant could have been better e.g. (the waiter name? Presenting the menu? Specials of the day? Etc) Nice environment! Good music! Beautiful view! Thx
