Elba Premium Suites - Adults Only

We stayed at the Elba premium suites at the end of February 2025 and into March as it was my wife's 50th and chose this hotel as it looked good on the web. On arrival everything was good and check in was swift with the staff wishing my wife a happy birthday although it wasn't for a couple of days but it was nice all the same, I was surprised that there was no guidance to your room as most places these days have a golf boogie to jump on to anyway we found our suite in the adult only section of the hotel and the room was nice and clean although we did find a stray can of beer next to the bed from the previous residents, paying additional for the safe was a shock and an empty mini fridge was also a shock but you do get a bottle of water each day. The adult pool area and poolside bar is nice but the area is far too small for the amount of guests that stay here, most days all loungers had been taken by 10.00am and some reserved that the hotel states it manages but doesn't so you have to go to the main pool area which isn't bad but the water is Baltic. The food is by far the hotels weakness, every night some of the supposedly hot food is cold and not very pleasant to eat, this has been reported many times in other reviews with the management saying that they are looking into it but so far it's no better, in fact the best meal that we had in a week here was not in the hotel and trying to book a reservation at one of the two restaurants proved unsuccessful with no availability apart from a 9pm booking at Nonna's which we turned down as we didn't want to eat that late and talking to other guests it was probably a good thing. The adult restaurant was nice for breakfast although it seems as though the hotel gets it's delivery on Monday as the week progresses the offerings become less and less with various things running out and staff have no idea when it will be replaced, e.g. Nutella and honey ran out by Thursday and wasn't replaced until Monday, Sunday was our last night and the offerings were very slim with no hot meat or special themed food, hot water only comes via the coffee machine so everyone is queuing at one or two machines so the hotel would benefit from a separate hot water source but they don't seem that bothered about it. Overall our stay was okay but could have been so much better and we are in no rush to rebook for the Elba premium suites, there seems to be a lack of staff in most areas of the hotel and only having one staff member on a bar just seemed to frustrate people, good job we are not big drinkers, however if you wanted a coffee you had to join the que as the machine was behind the bar and not self service. With some investment the hotel could be much better however in it's current position we will be trying somewhere else for our next visit.

The Hotels premium adult only site is totally a must if you have no Children. Lovely private pool and cafe bar . The staff in this area are amazing so friendly and so efficient . Chass and maylin who work there are so so funny and friendly they really are keen to ensure you enjoy ur time at the bar and pool . There is water aerobics if you like to join in comfy loungers and umbrellas the sunny spots do get busy so best to get a lounger around 7.30 in busy seasons . The rooms are spacious and have lovely walk showers , garden terrace etc . The cleaners work hard and really did look after us on our 2 week stay . Fresh towels daily . You get access to the extra cafe and bar with premium and tea and coffee and fresh water . 10%off a spar treatment and a night in the Italian restaurant and a night in the steakhouse of your there for over 7 days . You do have to pay for a safe it was €4 a day !! The Hotels is impressive with a huge lagoon if pools and a beautiful reception. The mixed area and kids area is also huge rooms very similar It's brilliant for children lots of water activities slides etc . Kids clubs parks they will not be bored . Parents can relax while the kids play . Icecreams , sweets , crisps all available for snacking on if they get hungry . It's very busy in high season so we stayed in the premium which was lovely. There is also a Adult only bar and restaurant. This is nice to chill out in however the entertainment is a bit boring. Jazz singing , saxophone (player although he was good ) solo singing etc . Long ques in the evenings as only 1 barmen on every night it was the same no one helping them they had to clear and serve which was impossible on busy evenings . Lots of glasses left on tables etc . The hotel should improve on staffing levels in both restaurants and bars . Takes at least 30 minutes to get a drink every night and the bars and entertainment areas are very scruffy with lots of glasses bottles etc lying around . Also no ash trays so people chuck fag butt's in the garden areas or use paper cups with water its pretty awful if u are a non smoker as not pleasent around the hotel for Guests and not easy for smokers there should be ashtrays for them to use . The watering system for the plants and palms is a bit smelly as its recycled rain water can be quite horrible in the warm days when it's on but u get used to it . Food this was very poor in our opinion. Food was always repeated and warm never hot . Lots of fish stews , paella, pork , canary island potatoes only ever boiled!!! There was chips for kids with nuggets etc but for adults nothing to go with chips if you like plain foods. Lots of salads raw fish etc . They say its an international menu but it's not great for British tastes if you don't like fish or vegetables in sauce. I had to complain one night to the restaurant manager chicken cooked on the hot station was raw . She never got back to me with what happened. I was concerned about others eatin

The Elba hotel in Lanzarote is fantastic!! The rooms are beautiful bungalow style in blocks of 4 with the biggest comfiest beds nice coffee machine in room… we cannot fault this hotel at all this was our 14th stay. there is always plenty of food to choose from in multiple places to eat, the chefs work very hard to show the amazing foods the island has to offer, they also try to accommodate the different nationality’s staying in the hotel… while we stayed here the hotel hosted a wonderful show to get everyone in the Christmas spirit with a big light switch on its was beautiful…. The WiFi did go down for two days but this did NOT affect us in anyway because we were on holiday in such a lovely location!! Thank you to all the wonderful staff for helping us to make memories!! Each and everyone of them work so hard!!!!! Special shout out to the amazing hardworking animation team Costa Laura Danny denisa ramone Lulu roberto Paula nasa you guys are the BEST!!!
