Elba Lucia Sport & Suite Hotel

The Hotel is ok, quite basic, and not great for storing clothing, unless you can hang things, as the wardrobe is enormous, although you would need more hangers than those provided. Drawer space is not great, once you have unpacked underwear, there is no room for t shirts, or normal drawer clothing. It is very clean, and spacious. Normal safe protocols, ask on reception, and pay €2 per day, plus €10 deposit which .you get back when checking out. The pool area is lovely, but no toilets nearby. You need to go to your room for the toilet, or up to the bar area, more stairs! I would also say there is an abundance of stairs, we had three flights to our room, not accessible by lift, as were most rooms. Just hope when you check in you are not on the third floor! There is a lift to the dining area, or again stairs, as it is on the second floor, the food is well presented, but tasteless, and quite repetitive especially Goat, which appeared more than twice within our weeks stay. Three times we decided to eat elsewhere as there is local bars, thankfully doing food. Italian night was dreadful, with macaroni cheese, without the cheese, cannelloni which was a Bain Marie full of cheesey slop, having to fish about for empty pasta tubes. Didn’t see much in the way of vegetarian meals, just vegetables, which were not very inviting. Desserts were virtually the same every day, a set blancmange type thing in a glass dish, or a sponge effort with no taste. Thankfully there was a freezer full of ice cream in small tubs, which were very good. The bar outside by the pool was pleasant, and had snacks available from early on, starting with cheese and ham rolls, or cheese and tomato, wrapped in cling film. Then at 1500 once the restaurant closed the snacks turned to the same thing every day, toasted sandwiches, burgers, hotdogs, and chips. Drinks are usual all inclusive non branded spirit, and local beer, which is expected. The free bus is handy, but only stops at other Hotels. It says takes you into the local town of Caleta De Fuste, but the nearest stop is at the Elba Antigua, and you need to walk into Town, which is around 10 minutes. Not far, but a little deceiving, as we had no idea where we were going. The Saturday Market is ok, with lots of leather goods, and clothing, and a huge amount of Michael Kors knock offs. The bus does not stop anywhere near the Market, so be prepared for a short hike. We did walk into town from the Hotel, along the coast, where the chipmunks run up to you for any food. Take bread if you decide to go. They are quite entertaining. We had a nice break, the weather was great, food a big let down, and the entertainment a bit non existent. The bar is under the dining area, so you are climbing stairs up and down throughout your stay. I think it would be a nightmare for a wheelchair user, as the lifts do not access all floors, and although there are slopes the immediate area surrounding the hotel is very rugged, even the pavements. Not going to return any time soon

Had a good break staff very friendly and helpful room was clean and of a good standard food was first class would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a chill out holiday.There is also free transport to and from the centre of town

Cannot fault this hotel and the staff are amazing everyone of them work so hard and always have a smile on there face there was a party of 9 of us and we asked to be close together in our hotel rooms which we were accommodated nothing was too much trouble for us, the food was really good considering the amount of people they have to cater for, PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS, after this hotel is rated 3 star and that is exactly what you get the entertainment in the evening was varied and by the time it had finished we were all ready for bed anyway. Definitely would 100 per cent return to this hotel
