Repsol Sol cooking on a terrace above the pool · €€€€
The neighbouring sister hotel's dining room, six minutes up the avenue, holds one Repsol Sol under Wolfgang Grobauer, who cooks light, modern dishes with fruit from island fincas: sea bass ceviche with mango chutney, Galician turbot with fregola and lobster sauce, Black Angus fillet with truffle, a Valrhona coulant with figs from Montaña La Data. Dinner is on a terrace over the pool and the palm gardens, from 18:30 to 22:00 in winter and 19:00 to 22:00 in summer. Outside diners are taken when there is room, so ring ahead; men need long trousers and closed shoes.

Charcoal grill facing the Atlantic
The seafront restaurant of the Hotel Faro, at the foot of the lighthouse, cooks Mediterranean dishes with an Atlantic accent and puts premium meat and fish through a Josper charcoal oven. It opens at 13:00 and serves straight through, with lunch to 16:00 and dinner from 18:00, so it doubles as a late lunch after a morning on the dunes. It is the dinner to choose when you want the ocean in front of you without sand underfoot. Book a table through the hotel's site.

Cocktail bar in the Hotel Faro
The Hotel Faro's cocktail bar, eight minutes away at the lighthouse, is an intimate room where the bartenders build original drinks around local produce from Finca de Veneguera. It opens every day from 10:30 to midnight, so it works as a drink before dinner at Callao or El Senador along the front, or a nightcap after the hotel's dress-code dinner. Reservations are optional and can be made online for a busy night.

Breakfast
Breakfast is included in every plan the hotel advertises: bed and breakfast, half board and All Inclusive Premium. It is a buffet in the Main Restaurant from 08:00 to 11:00, on the terrace under the palms or inside: crêpes and a full English cooked in front of you, a long continental spread, fruit smoothies and sparkling wine, with gluten-free and dairy-free versions of everything. The dress rule is resort casual, with a covered swimsuit allowed and no sleeveless shirts for men, and room service starts at 08:00. Outside, the nearest late-morning option worth the walk is El Senador Beach House, six minutes away, which opens at 11:00 and serves coffee, crêpes, waffles and smoothies by the beach.
