“Can't wait to come back :)”

2nd time staying here. Last time 6 years ago. We have had the best family holiday and did not want to come home. We were worried due to some reviews however we didn't need to worry. Even though this was during the kids easter holidays and staff were worked really hard, they were all polite, helpful and smiling. Food was hot, good variety and different themes each night. Our kids can be quite fussy usually and always came away full. All areas were kept clean and tidy and housekeeping did a wonderful job each day. Pools were lovely and clean and big enough for multiple families to enjoy at one time. Mostly managed to find sunbeds for 5 of us each day if we wanted them. Weather was hot and aircon worked well. Most areas were quiet in the evening and we had a great night's sleep. As mentioned above all staff were great but we want to say a special thank you to Andrea who was lovely and made our dining experiences even better. Minimal downsides.. neither safes in the room worked and one room the balcony doors didn't fully lock. Decor little run down and could do with a freshen up in certain places round the hotel. And housekeeping, even though cleaning standards were amazing.. towels kept getting missed and they left the balcony doors open on several occasions and we were ground ground floor. These are small things that could be improved but did not affect our holiday and we will without doubt be back as soon as we can. Thank you to all the staff at Elba Carlota :)

“Brilliant weeks holiday - lovely hotel”

Absolutely fantastic week away. We were greeted by some very nice staff on reception. After checking in we found a lovely room with a pool view and view of the sea. The room was a good size and was spotlessly clean. The buffet dinner was varied every night with some theme nights such as Asian and Spanish - I really don’t get why some people are complaining about the food - there is so much variety that I find it hard to believe that there isn’t something for everyone! We used the gym a couple of times during our stay - for a hotel gym I was really impressed! Plenty of equipment which allows you to get in a full workout - with the amount we eat we really needed it! I agree that the evening entertainment was a bit hit and miss - they are trying to please a lot of people so it’s understandable that the entertainment may not be to everyone’s taste. We bought a pack of cards and had some great evenings playing games and having drinks! I just want to mention the greatest asset of the hotel is the staff - they were helpful and friendly without exception! Brilliant team of people! Overall an excellent stay - would definitely stay again!

We got back yesterday and just wanted to give our review. Good bits 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Polite, friendly helpful staff especially the animation team and kids club team. So good with the kids. The hotel is really clean, room cleaned everyday. Heated pool is fantastic. Self serve soft drinks & hot drinks Water in tanks so you can fill your water bottle Close to the beach Close to the shopping centre with lots of different restaurants . Plenty of sun beds and these are jet washed daily. The Italian was lovely. But the kids portions were far too big. Also try the honey rum and coke . Bad bits 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Not much entertainment but that might the season. The food was not great and we are not fussy at all. The food was poor variety and it was bland. Nothing for children at all and forget it if you’re vegan or vegetarian . The “snack bar” is left overs from breakfast/lunch . Not great. Too many flies but that’s not the hotels fault but was annoying 🤣🤣🤣🫣 Thankfully we didn’t pay a lot of money but I can see why people get mad when they’ve paid £3k to go here and the food is naff. We personally wouldn’t go back…as prices for next year are double what we paid this year and personally don’t think it’s worth it. BUT I would recommend it to people but just if you’re fussy or your kids are then be prepared to have to eat out.

“Nice hotel, some aspects need improving”

Flew with jet 2 which I can say was a very good flight and service both ways. The bag check in was great. The hotel itself is lovely and clean, rooms very nice. Food really good - catering for all (will always have some people that moan but I found there is something for everyone). The all inclu... more

Flew with jet 2 which I can say was a very good flight and service both ways. The bag check in was great. The hotel itself is lovely and clean, rooms very nice. Food really good - catering for all (will always have some people that moan but I found there is something for everyone). The all inclusive aspect lacks a little in the fact that only 3 cocktails are all inclusive. There is limited bar staff meaning that the service to get a drink can be long. The animation team is about 90% French and when you see their mates come over on holiday and half the team seem more bothered with their mates I wasn’t overly impressed. The holiday was a very nice break and would 100% recommend the hotel. They just need to make all inclusive - all inclusive and improve their bar service & animation team.
