Elba Carlota Beach & Golf Resort

We got back yesterday and just wanted to give our review. Good bits 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Polite, friendly helpful staff especially the animation team and kids club team. So good with the kids. The hotel is really clean, room cleaned everyday. Heated pool is fantastic. Self serve soft drinks & hot drinks Water in tanks so you can fill your water bottle Close to the beach Close to the shopping centre with lots of different restaurants . Plenty of sun beds and these are jet washed daily. The Italian was lovely. But the kids portions were far too big. Also try the honey rum and coke . Bad bits 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Not much entertainment but that might the season. The food was not great and we are not fussy at all. The food was poor variety and it was bland. Nothing for children at all and forget it if you’re vegan or vegetarian . The “snack bar” is left overs from breakfast/lunch . Not great. Too many flies but that’s not the hotels fault but was annoying 🤣🤣🤣🫣 Thankfully we didn’t pay a lot of money but I can see why people get mad when they’ve paid £3k to go here and the food is naff. We personally wouldn’t go back…as prices for next year are double what we paid this year and personally don’t think it’s worth it. BUT I would recommend it to people but just if you’re fussy or your kids are then be prepared to have to eat out.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel it was much busier than I thought it would be, meal times were very busy. One or two problems we had were dealt with immediately. Staff on the whole very friendly. Pool areas were fantastic and the food was lovely and a good variety. There were many French guests at this hotel. The reception staff were excellent.

This hotel was wonderful! The staff were very helpful and friendly. Everywhere was clean and well maintained. The quality and choice of drinks were fantastic, loved the choice of slush for kids and adults! Beautiful beach area just outside the gate. Aqua gym everyday was great and some good shows at night too. Room was spacious with a huge bathroom and the view from the balcony was stunning! Could do with a bit more variety of food as it got a bit repetitive but always something to eat and food was hot. Drinks service at meal times was slow and could be improved but we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return!

Fantastic hotel with not much we could fault. There are arrival drinks for when you check in. You do have to pay 3euros a day for a safe and being half board we had to register a card and set an amount as the hotel is cashless. Rooms are lovely with free tea/coffee that is refilled daily. There is a mini fridge and towels are changed daily. Free showergel, soap etc and hairdryer in bathroom. We requested a room with pool view which we got and glad as some other rooms didnt have a good view or sun on balcony. The food overall was fantastic especially the mexican themed night and arabian night with doner kebabs. We were allowed to swap our evening meal for lunch which we did on one day so we could go out to eat. Heated pool is lovely but larger pool was empty as was too cold for March. Plenty of sunbeds too. Animation team were great and never seemed to stop. Activities such as aqua gym were popular and things on such as foam pool party, football, volleyball, archery etc. The sports courts were a great addition too for older kids. My daughter used the gym every day which had everything you need. There wasnt a lot of evening entertainment on but greatest showman was great and some of the live music. Location was great walk out of gate at back and directly on beach which is lovely and quiet. We walked to market on the Tuesday morning and loved the harbour which was a 15min walk along the beach...theres lots of activities you can book here. There is a shopping centre next door with supermarket and a lovely indian we ate at. We had a trip to oasis wildlife park which is well worth a visit and the bus picks up from hotel daily at 9.30am for 5euro return. We would definitely return to this hotel and loved it that much would look at other Elba hotels.

Very good hotel food was nice friendly staff, good choice of food plenty drinks different food everyday from around the world pool bar was lovely snack bar was had good choice nice double room spacious,lift excess to all floors had a very good fun o my stay

Once again a great holiday, hotel is doing amazing with all the upgrades of pool bed etc, had a lovely week, room was spotless, housekeeping was fantastic, reception staff are so helpful and friendly, service throughout was fantastic and what makes it amazing for us is the animation team, they are excellent, the shows they put on are wonderful, Alessio, Rosanna, Jessica and the rest of the team do a fantastic job around the pool area, keeping everyone entertained with all the activities. Looking forward to returning in 6 weeks.
