Elias Beach Hotel

Having recently returned from Elias Beach Hotel, overall have great mixed feelings about the property. Whilst there was nothing drastically wrong with any part of the Hotel itself, and on the whole it felt the staff were doing the best they could with what they had, there were many areas that really fell short of expectation. In terms of the rooms and public areas whilst clean, they did fill extremely dated in places, with stained walls, carpets and the odd leaking patch of ceiling. All minor issues overall, my only real frustration was when you align these standards to the room rate of almost €250 a night, it does feel exceptionally expensive for the overall quality on offer. Again, showing the age of the property the elevators experienced frequent problems during our stay with one of two available being out of service. The lock system for the room doors was temperamental to say the least, across 10 nights, I had to recut the room key on 5 different occasions until eventually reception cut 5 spare keys to keep as back up for when the old key eventually failed. Both issues minor alone, however combined with no phones in the hallways and a broken elevator, led to quite a frustrating experience. Walking to and from the room to resolve. The redeeming aspect of this Hotel was without doubt the food & beverage offering. Despite some issues in terms of capacity and accommodation of our party. Once seated; you couldn’t fault the quality of the food. Across the evenings, the buffet restaurant served a great variety of dishes and themes. Despite the format, the food was always fresh and none of our party were stuck for an option. Plenty of choice. The same can be said for the bar offering, whilst the offering did vary across the bars, the overall selection was great with plenty of branded spirit choices and friendly and helpful staff. For anyone planning a stay and booking direct, would recommend taking advantage of the loyalty scheme, quick and easy to sign up and instant discounts available.

Went away for a wedding and this hotel, was fantastic, had a great atmosphere. Not too busy so plenty of space round the pool, and on the beach too, which was fab and was right by the hotel. The buffet was spot on each day, plenty of decent choice and the service was great from all the staff.The pool is spot on and the drinks were all decent. The rooms and hotel itself are well looked after and the staff were lovely. The wedding itself was brilliant, everything ran smoothly and the pier was a stunning venue for the ceremony. There were activities every day with the all star team, which were a great laugh and kept you busy in the day if you wanted to join in. The entertainers themselves were fantastic, really enthusiastic and full of energy and just a great laugh. The shows they put on were great as well, clearly a very talented team. Have to give a shout out to Jess too who was a super star! Defo will be coming back to this hotel in future.
