Hotel Elba Carlota

We visited the Elba Carlota hotel last week, and have to say the hotel was excellent. Great pool facilities, with entertainment for kids, and also staff encouraging people (if you want) to get involved with daily excersices etc at the pool. Excellent bar facilities too, we were all inclusive, and enjoyed lots of proper branded drinks , cocktails , cava and local beer (Cruzcampo) on draft. Food served in main restaurant was excellent, plenty of options for breakfast and diner, not so much at lunch but that’s to be expected. Later in the holiday we also discovered that during the day we could get burgers and hotdogs at the pool bar, along with drinks and self service for branded soft drinks in draft at pool bar, all part of the all inclusive. Beware though if you are not all inclusive, cash cannot be used at the bar, you must pay by card or have drinks etc charged to your room. There is also an A La Carte restaurant at the hotel, we went once and found this to be ok just, food in the main restaurant was actually better we thought. Entertainment for adults seemed good too on some of the nights but perhaps could be improved. The Motown night was great. Staff are all really friendly, and are what makes this hotel most appealing. Very attentive, and whilst more people seemed to be all inclusive there were no long waiting times for drinks at the bar. Location of the hotel is great, right beside a eurospar and small shopping centre. The beach can also be accessed through the rear of the hotel grounds which is great. A 10 minute walk along the path at the beach brings you into the main part of town at Caleta De Fuste. We stayed in a upgraded room so had plenty of space and a large terrace area. One criticism I would have is that, compared to the rest of hotel, the rooms look a bit dated. A bit of a revamp , rooms being freshly painted , new curtains and small improvements would bring the rooms up to the standard of the rest of this hotel. All in all, a great hotel and we will definitely be returning.

I travelled to this Hotel as a solo holiday maker. I was delighted with my room very spacious and complete with sea-view. The Hotel although large offers a spacious outdoor area complete with two large pools and a separate children's area. A large number of available sunbeds so no need to panic to acquire one! I was all inclusive and satisfied with the food and drink supplied under this. Staff through out my stay were very helpful and always good natured. Improvements that I would like to see: changes in the times dinner is served (6.30 p.m to 8 p.m) would like to see this extended to 9 p.m. This would prevent the food frenzy which took place at the latter part of dinner. As the evening entertainment only starts at 9.30 p.m there is quite a lull. Only one main bar open in the evening resulting in having to line up to order drinks! Proposed changes aside I would recommend this hotel in particular for solo travellers and those with children.
