Hosteria Farallon Dillon | Informal Campsite

Payed 10 $. They didn't allow us to park in front of the reception even though the hotel was almost empty (our truck is not longer than 6 m, so we are not a big rig). The outdoor shower in the dusty lower parking area was dirty and full of leaves, certainly not used or cleaned for many weeks. Area downstairs by the beach with only 1 hammock was dirty and looked completely unmaintained too. Service by the pool was bad. All staff left for more than an hour in the afternoon, we couldn‘t order or even pay the bill. Tried to have dinner on the fantastic terrace later, we were told, that the restaurant is open until 7.30 pm, but at 06.00 nobody was there to get the menu, as we found it inside, nobody came to take our order, staff was sitting inside and ignored us. At least, after they turned off all the lights around us, we left and had dinner in the truck. Better to go there only for a drink (if you are lucky to get one) and enjoy the wonderful view and the extraordinary naval architecture and objects. It’s a shame for this beautiful place but we cannot recommend it for camping overnight, only using the pool in the morning was really wonderful. But maybe everything is good in high season.

Beautiful place! They also let us park in front of the reception, very quiet and amazing view to the ocean. $15 for vehicle with 2 people + 1 dog. Pool included in the price. However, only outdoor cold shower available by the pool. We arrived at night so the reception person was nice to let us use their staff shower.

During the week you park up by reception for an amazing view! On the weekend or holidays, you will likely have to park down in the parking level. Wifi reaches vehicle when by reception. Clean bathrooms and cold outdoor showers. $5 per person per night ... it costs an additional $5 if you decide to use the pool. Hosts are kind and sometimes there is live music in the bar/restaurant.

My advice: stay here during the week , park your not too big camper in front of the reception, you'll get one of the best places in your life.

Quiet parking lot, electricity and good WiFi, but the showers are cold. Friendly owners and good restaurant. 5 pP to expensive for what you get.
They said they will repair the showers for hot water.

Great restaurant area but not a great van camp spot. Not allowed to park up by the reception. Lower parking lot is dusty, no shade, no view, but you can walk up the stairs and hang out in the lovely overlook/restaurant. They now charge for kids and also charge extra ($5/person) if you want to swim in the little pool! Or you can walk down to the beach and swim in the ocean - calm & warm water.

Cool place, great view, friendly stuff and welcoming owners. Recommended!

ACHTUNG: nicht den Wäscheservice nutzen - Wucherpreise - für eine normale Wochenwäsche haben wir 44 $ bezahlen müssen. Trübt den gesamten Eindruck sehr stark.

Sehr interessanter Stellplatz. In der Woche vor der Rezeption und am Wochenende unten auf dem Parkplatz. Sehr nette Mitarbeiter. Anlage sehr sauber, gutes WiFi vor der Rezeption.

everything as described below. this place was very cool, very different from anywhere else we have stayed. check out the restaurant (even if you don't eat) there are many antiques. also the building next to the toilet has a million items in it too. great place to stay if you have kids, there is so much to keep them entertained. if arrive on a Thursday or Friday and want to stay a few days ask to park down below.

Very interesting place with fantastic views and excellent sunsets! Hotel staff very friendly and accommodating. Amazing maritime decorating throughout. Agree with all the previous comments- all amenities are top notch! Would have stayed more than one night but they were having a large party and we did not want to get in the way.

Really nice place with nice staff. Views are stunning. Felt really welcome to park right in front of reception. Lower parking lot is near the tennis court and can accommodate any size rig. We were allowed to use TV in the lounge area to watch NBA finals. Pool and pool area very clean. $5pp per night. 4 year old free.

A real amazing place. Very gentle and helpful staff, very secure parking. The restaurant has very good food. But the best of all: this fantastic atmosphere
There are so much lovely details all around an inside the buildings. You always look twice to find another lovely detail. Don't miss the sunset on the terrace. This site is highly recommended.

Can’t say enough good things about Farallon Dillon! The staff are so helpful, especially the owners Yolanda and Captain Dillon. Such a welcoming and generous couple. The pool is fantastic and the restaurant chef (Belgian) prepares the most amazing Mahi Mahi. Don’t miss this place!
Power and water were available to us at the upper parking lot (amazing sunset views)

As described earlier a great place to stay/camp with really great hosts and staff. The entrance for smaller vehicles are in the front. You can also camp in the front.

$5pp including infinity pool. we are 26' long so they asked that we park in lower lot which had shade and power outlets but no wifi. Bathroom is large, clean, with a suicide shower and places to put stuff as well as a bath mat! Toilet has seat and there was TP. Claro went between 4G and H+. Quiet at night, no dogs, roosters....Wifi at reception, slow or not working while we were here.

Best part about this place is the lovely almost private beach down below, and the pool [which we weren't charged extra for].

First night we stayed up top near the lobby so we had access to wifi and power, but it was loud. Second night we stayed in the carpark down below, no power/wifi, but you can go up to the lobby and sit there.

Nice staff, access to hot shower/bathroom. Interesting museum, and grounds.

Très bon rapport qualité /prix.

Captain Dillon, his wife, and his staff are very welcoming. They not only allowed, but asked, us to park our camper pickup next to the reception where there is electricity and water connections. Bigger vehicles would not fit there but in the large parking lot below.
