El Faro" or The Lighthouse			This is the restaraunt on the far right of the resort with lovely views. It is kept very clean and run by a really nice English guy called Sean who was always very attentive.  'The food was great at about 1200pts (June'01) for the main course. There wasn't any veggie dishes and they were having trouble getting hold of some delicious deserts. Plenty of the frozen kind though.'
