Gem of a hotel. Staff could not be better, Food fantastic, great golf facilities

Elba Palace Golf Boutique Hotel has the potential to be an outstanding establishment, however on my visit it was not perceived as a 5-star hotel. I arrived on a Saturday, and the spa was not available. On Sunday the pool was closed for renovations - when I enquired I was told all guests were informed prior to their stay - regrettably I was not informed. The spa still not available. The food served in the breakfast room was not appetising at all, so I resorted to the fruit, however the watermelon was spoilt as well. Dinner was a good variety, however after the second and third day it became apparent that previous desserts were being rotated and dressed differently to appear as a 'new' variety. On Tuesday, the orange fruit at breakfast was once again spoilt, and I landed up being sick. Besides the above, the room service staff and a few other staff members were exceptional...pity about the facilities on site.

Beautifully appointed hotel with quality furnishings and fittings superb huge bed . Spacious rooms and social area's. A bit of maintenance required but nothing in your face. Friendly and helpful staff the room always clean and immaculate. Lovely surroundings Lovely restaurant with good food. It's a golf hotel so the emphasise is on golf leaving something to do for non golfers a bit lacking. The tennis court is for paddle tennis which is a bit weird but you are discouraged from playing it by being charged 20 euro's per hour. Probably because of it's inappropriate location next to the pool area. The only other criticism is that the air con in our room was barely adequate. Great hotel, loved our time there, can't say the same about Fuertenfura.

Unfortunately the Elba had double booked our rooms so we were given rooms at the Sheraton, so unable to accurately review this Hotel.

Quiet And Peaceful

The hotel is in lovely grounds and the rooms are a good size, comfy bed and large bathroom. The big downside on this hotel is that if you think you are going to a 5* hotel and will experience 5* food, you will be very disappointed. The breakfast is ok... not great. I have been to 4* and had far superior. Dinner main course is pretty good, starter buffet is grossly overpriced for what you get but is “ok”. The desserts on the other hand are beyond bad in every way. They are poorly presented, cheap bought in rubbish and what little is made in house I’d so bad and looks terrible. We visited a few 3* and 4* hotels nearby and the comparison on quality and presentation was huge. If you like good food, go to one of the other Elba 4* hotels !

Th staff always go the extra mile and could not be any more accommodating. Food is great and the selection is more than enough. The location is 15 minutes taxi ride from the import and is the easiest way to get there. It is a quiet hotel, which is very clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend to others and return ourselves.

This is a fantastic hotel. If you are after a peaceful relaxing, quiet yet well-appointed hotel, this is great value. The location is excellent just 10-15 minutes and 18 euros in a taxi from the airport. It’s a 20 minute walk to the beach, shops and supermarket, however the hotel runs an hourly shuttle bus to Caleta via the other large hotels in the area. We have stayed twice and loved both visits. Staff are delightful and we received plenty of complimentary drinks and other treats during our stay. We stayed b&b first time around but opted for half board for an extra 2 euros each per night. That gave us 3 course dinners for the week for £25! Rooms are spacious- separate bath and shower and double sinks in the very large bathroom. Huge bed and lovely balcony overlooking the golf course, hills and sea. V quiet air con. Pool is fab, no fighting for sunbeds, no getting up at the crack of dawn either as you aren’t allowed to reserve them, not that it gets hugely busy anyway. We also got served fresh fruit by the pool in the morning and afternoon which is a lovely touch. I’m not a golfer but the course looked lovely and didn’t seem hugely busy either. Very well maintained. Nice gym on site. The staff are just lovely throughout and pay attention to detail. Highly recommended for couples who want a nice romantic week or two in the sun. Not really a party hotel so not for those wanting a lot of nightlife. Very accessible hotel too, step free access to all areas.

Excellent service and accommodation. Can’t fault anything!

We're not golfers so enjoyed the peace and quiet whilst most others were out on the greens.

Nice hotel, nice staff. Only let down by really poor quality toiletries and lack of iron in the hotel. These 2 things could be sorted quickly to bring up to the standard of the Sheraton

Beautiful Hotel, comfortable spacious rooms, ours had a balcony with a lovely view over the golf course down to the sea. We loved the pool area, spa, Patrick playing the piano whilst eating and then singing in the piano bar after dinner. The hotel isn’t massive and being adult only makes it quite quiet as it is also set away from the local town ( to which there is a free shuttle bus hourly). If we had a complaint it is the food which isn’t 5 star and the service particularly at breakfast is somewhat chaotic. But we would return.

All you would expect of a 5 star hotel. Food and facilities were excellent. Staff were very attentive. Even came around the pool with free fruit kebabs!!

All was fantastic, a great place to relax. Friendliest staff ever, will definitely come back, true 5* experience

Rarely do we go to the same place, but this is our second visit in 18 months to this hotel. Everything about it is fantastic. It is immaculate, the rooms are spacious, food is plentiful and of an excellent quality and the staff can not be faulted. Nothing is too much trouble. Being at an adult only hotel feels more relaxing and Cava at breakfast was an added bonus too.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious, comfortable and quiet and overlooked the golf course which is adjacent to the hotel. There is a driving range also adjacent to the hotel. The swimming pool area was nice The hotel restaurant served a good choice of food at breakfast and the dinner menu had an abundant choice of dishes, with a self service starter buffet and sweet course. Although we did not use it there is an in house spa and a gym. The hotel also runs daily walks, exercise and stretching classes for guests.

My wife and I had a really relaxing holiday at this hotel. We stayed for 3 weeks and enjoyed every moment. We are not golfers but enjoyed breakfast looking out over the course. We hired a car for the length of our stay and enjoyed exploring the island.

This was a late booking that was well worth it. Located In a quiet area. With complimentary bus to the beach. The room and large balcony over looking the golf course and the facilities are lovely. The staff were very welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed water aerobic and walks. Would definitely recommend this place if you want a peaceful holiday.

I love the Elba Palace. I know a lot of people stay because of the golf course, but for me it's either to completely chill away from everything, or alternatively as a place to stay when I'm working in the area. It has a very relaxing ambience, feels very luxurious and the staff are very helpful. I like the fact that it's a smaller hotel - there seems to be a higher than normal staff to guest ratio.

This was our second visit to this lovely hotel can't say enough about it the staff are all lovely and so helpful breakfast is amazing plenty to choose from then a la cart dinner is brilliant lots to choose from the hotel is 10 minute walk to the shopping centre and beech fine chance to walk dinner off!!!!!!! There are always plenty of sun beds available and a brilliant golf course on site can't wait to return
