Elba Carlota Beach & Golf Resort

lovely staff, amazing beach, an awesome assortment of food , great place to stay, weather was lovely for march also, the beach right outside the hotel was the best in the whole area, the food on offer was of every type possible, different variety every night and topped up regularly, can't fault anything, would love to go back soon again,

Very clean & tidy hotel & resort. Nice grounds and nice walk way directly down to the beach. The hotel had a games room, an evening entertainment venue (usually starting at 9pm) and a fab kids disco in another area (from 8:30pm). Always plenty of room and not too busy the week we went in these venues. We had a bath with an over bath powerful shower, always with plenty of hot water. All staff at the hotel, resort & airport were welcoming & friendly, this made a real difference to us feeling relaxed and comfortable staying here. Kids club - we were able to just go and do our own thing e.g. use the soft play, arts & crafts (our autistic 7 year old wouldn’t have been able to stay on his own especially when they were off doing activities, in particular at the pool). No queues at the restaurant whatever time we went. Always plenty of seats at the restaurant & tables always being cleared Food hot, plenty of choice and ‘safe’ options too. We were 1/2 board, you get a drinks list when you go into the restaurant for your evening meal (not for brekki as all the drinks were included then), a staff member takes your drinks order(s) and adds to the list to use as your bill you take to the till to pay on your way out. Being 1/2 board we were able to book one a la carte reservation for the week. The only thing we didn’t realise, the a la carte was only open Monday-Weds (our stay was Sat-Sat), we went to book Weds to find we missed out going there :( Cool-warm pools, not freezing. Meaning our son did get to enjoy them most days unlike a lot of past 3-4 star hotels we’ve stayed at where the pools have always been freezing even in super hot countries! Super location, right next to a lovely quiet beach, with lovely promenade walks. Market (open Sat & Tues) 15-20 mins walk away. Only 15-30mins from the airport (depending on how many hotel stops on route). It didn’t bother us being on an air flight path, the planes weren’t that noisy. A couple of minutes away from some shops, restaurants and a supermarket. A playzone including; bowling, pool, air hockey & arcade games (you need to go to the machine to get a min 5 Euro card to use on the arcade machines). Also, a little kids pay for adventure park which included: trampolines, bouncy castle slide, go karts and a carousel (12 Euro for 30mins but they let us stay longer & come back if not too busy). Our visit to the zoo was amazing. Bus pick-up outside the hotel every morning (9:30am during our stay) 5 Euros per person return. Weather - I think we were a little unlucky the week we went (12-19th April 2025), it didn’t really hot up until late afternoon. However, we were mainly out on walks in the mornings and it was still warm. Just needed a jumper or a jacket to take the edge off the wind. We knew friends that visited a few weeks before and even in Jan with hotter weather (up to 28 degrees in Jan!). Would highly recommend this hotel & resort :)

Again we could find nothing negative about this lovely hotel. Just a twenty minute drive from the airport the hotel is situated right on the beachfront that holds a lovely sandy beach. A 15-20 minute walk into town on the left and a shopping centre next door on the right. On arrival reception staff were welcoming and friendly ,special mentions to Kirti, Bea, Lorena and Maite who always welcomed us with a smile each time we passed through reception and were all very helpful. Our room was kept to a high standard by Alba and towels were changed regularly. We thoroughly enjoyed all meals on our all inclusive package. Plenty of choice for everyone. The manager Miguel and his team would welcome you on entry to the evening meal and were always very approachable .The catering staff worked extremely hard as did the cooks, sometimes working under pressure but always with a smile. Special mention to Liani who always welcomes us back each visit. The daytime pool bar always a hit with the ever popular Paula behind the bar. Plenty of sunbeds to go round and the pools kept clean. Animation team worked extremely hard . All in all a fantastic holiday once again. Back in September.

Stayed here with a friend from 16th-23rd February and enjoyed every minute of it. •The hotel itself is very clean and very well maintained both inside and outside. The ground and the pool areas are spotless. •The staff are absolutely amazing and work tirelessly throughout the day and evening. •Shout out to the animacion team who kept the kiddies and adults amused throughout various times of the day. •Evening entertainment through the week was varied, anything from singers to acrobatic acts. •Food is great, I can’t possible imagine why anyone would go hungry here as the choices are plentiful. Self serve coffee and soft drinks are available, or wine/beer is on request and will be brought to your table. •Snack bar near the pool area has a selection of foods- burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and pastries. Probably more suited to the kiddies, but handy if you don’t want to go into the restaurant for lunch. •The bars have a good selection of drinks and a cocktail menu. •Pool are has plenty sun loungers for everyone. Didn’t really notice too many reserved loungers. Overall this was a really enjoyable stay and I would 100% return here.

It's a good spot, nicely situated close to a long promenade and not far from the airport. A heated pool is advantageous, but the water temperature could be a bit higher. The food selection is overall good, but the restaurant (as well as other parts of the hotel) might need some renovation. Seems like smoking by the pool is not prohibited. Also, most of the UK tourists tend to block sunbeds early in the morning (7 a.m. even). Side-view rooms might be noisy, especially in the morning, since there are two delivery/loading areas located on both sides of the hotel. The closer your room is to the seaside, the better.

Very nice hotel. Staff friendly and excellent service. Good location. I found the food and drink service very good indeed. We came to stay end of January 2025 for a little winter sun. Stayed at nearby group hotel previously so tried this one for a change. Really enjoyed our stay.
