Elba Premium Suites - Adults Only

Currently at Elba Premium Suites for a fourth visit in the past few years - the adults-only area of the hotel. It's a lovely laid out resort, with adult only breakfast, pool/lunch bar and evening meals - other facilities are shared with with the family areas. We especially love the lunchtime Bar Jameos - a lovely chill out vibe with lunch food service, and the most fun team serving drinks! The amazing Chuss who runs the bar, ensures you have a good time, serving drinks in a friendly way and plays great holiday friendly music! This personal service by all of the Elba team is the reason we regularly revisit!

We arrived the 6th October and after the check in we were invited to go to the guest room to change clothes and after opening the door we saw a cockroach. Not the start we were expecting. During our stay our room was not properly clean once. This was the biggest issue, I don’t know if they are short of staff, but sometimes it was hard to see setting tables without cleaning. The food at lunch in the premium side was not bad, but choosing between 2 sandwiches, 2 hamburgers, pizzas and salads for a week stay is quite limited. At dinner was even worse. After 3 or 4 days I missed a hot comfort dish. I tried the pizza at nonna restaurant, that you can reserve for free once in a week stay, which was very disappointing. Not cooked enough. At night it was tough to watch the stress that the barmaid endured because the amount of work for just one person is too much. When I tried, for once, to talk with someone about the this problems, she didn’t let me finish to speak, saying “we are trying to get better and have a good night”. It’s a shame because the hotel is beautiful, have great commodities and should be better. The best of our stay was get in touch with island which is beautiful we a lot of beautiful places to visit. Best regards

Stunning hotel with brilliant facilities. Chuss in the Jameos Bar is a fantastic host and represents the hotel brilliantly. Whatever they’re paying him is not enough! We’ll be back again - mainly thanks to Chuss. Cant wait until next time.

Fabulous hotel, abit out from the main ***** but walkable. Rooms cleaned daily, surroundings spotless. Adults only pool is the place to be. Chuss and tean make it so enjoyable as he is so friendly and the music he plays at the pool is amazing, Christmas songs and all! Food at the pool bar is my favourite, along with the branded drinks. Will definitely come back to this little peace of heaven

Myself and my mum visited for a 5 night stay and booked in the adult only area. We were a little apprehensive due to some of the recent reviews as we hadn't stayed here before, but we had a lovely time. The room was very clean and cleaned daily, the bedding was good quality and clean, beds really comfortable too. The fact you have a good size terrace attached to the room was perfect for us as we are not ones to want to lounge around a pool and found being on our little terrace was really peaceful. The only thing with this is there wasn't an umbrella for shade, which we would have benefitted from during the higher temperatures midday. We paid for the prestige service and so our mini bar in the room was restocked daily. Around the hotel we found it to be clean, the staff were welcoming and helpful and the food is what you expect in an all inclusive hotel with a few dishes being repeated every day but then at dinner there was always something new to try. I would say there was something for everyone and we certainly didn't go hungry. Sometimes you would need to asked for plates or cutlery but the staff would resolve the issue straight away and we found that the tables were always cleared quickly. The gym is small but has enough equipment to have a decent session and is fully air conditioned. Overall we couldn't fault anything on our stay and would stay there again. We went 4th - 9th October and so I am guessing the hotel was probably quieter than during summer holidays / school holidays but could see that nobody seemed to have any issues getting a sunbed at the main pool or around the adults pool. In terms of location, you can walk down to the town and coastline in 10/15 minutes and is a pleasant walk. There are quite a few places to get food, drinks, etc. which we did a few times for lunch and found it to be reasonably priced.

We are only 3 days into our 10 night stay as a family of 9 with one 5yr old. It has been a special trip for us as one family member has proposed too his girlfriend and another turns 50! The hotel has been amazing, allowing us to set up the room to surprise the couple offering champagne and creating a special birthday cake for us, The food is lovely with a wide selection so you can always find something to enjoy. The range of pools both salt water and chlorine is great you don’t feel crowded at all, there is alway sunbeds and no silly putting towels out at 6am you can still get a great spot at 9am. The two team members on reception Paige and javier have been so helpful and welcoming. They also offered us a drink and snack bar when we arrived which our flight was delayed so it was near 11:30pm by the time we got checked in. Only down side is waiting for drinks at the bar it can take up to 20minutes to get a drink this applies to soft drinks too. We booked into the brassiere and it was absolutely lovely it was not rushed, they helped set the table with special decorations ect. The rooms are spacious and are kept at a high standard. My daughter used mini club the last few days and she absolutely loved it, face painting, crafts, soft play and games it allows the kids time out of the pool, although she is shy so I didn’t leave her many parents did. Over all there is not many things at all that I can complain about,

We stayed in the Premium Suites, adults only. We had a lovely time. Rooms were clean, light was flicking in the bathroom, spoke to reception in the morning and was fixed by the time we went back that afternoon. No waiting at the bar for a drink, always had a sunbed, I was a little apprehensive due the reviews but really should not have been. Food was lovely, we were their for 10 days and always had something different to eat each night. Plates and cups were clean, all staff were great. Maybe the spa bathrobes needed updating but that's all I have to complain about. The hotel is what I would call a sleepy hotel, breakfast was opened at 8am, lunch started at 1pm, dinner was 7pm, although you had snacks at the pool bar, if you were peckish or missed breakfast, the gym opened at 8am, this would be my only complaint, if they could open the breakfast 1 hour early to accommodate guests going out early that day or early risers, lunch could start at 12.30pm and maybe dinner open at 6.30pm and gym open at 7am for people to work out if they wish to before breakfast. This did definitely not spoil my holiday. There is a path down to the town, a 1 minute walk from the hotel, which took no longer then 10 minutes to walk down. I would recommend this hotel.

Elba hotels Holiday2024 Issues with the suite, obviously not inspected prior to allocation which is different from the directors interpretation. No bathrobes, no hand soap, towel peg hanging off the bathroom wall and outside seating pads and cushions grubby which were never changed although 70% of the others we looked at were the same. Adults only restaurant, poor service and food never turned over, this did improve once it was mentioned but as always with these dining areas the food is nowhere hot enough. Only one member of staff attending the chill out bar so at times long queues, this was even worse at the downstairs bar. You have a choice of one visit per 7 day stay to their a la carte restaurants, 10 day stay still only one visit. A brasserie or an Italian. Brasserie only open Saturday and Sunday which is probably a good thing as it was shocking! The turbot wasn’t served with the correct accompaniments to which they were appalling, the meat choice again was supposed to come with vegetables but didn’t. If you choose a choice on the menu and the accompaniments change then let people know, again the guy who was running the brasserie wasn’t the least interested. The general meals and themes are both equal whether you eat or dine upstairs or down (with families) but as we found downstairs the food was improved due to the turnover and numbers of staff. The adults pool and bar area very good but pool area no where near big enough for the amount of suites, it appears that they have made this area and just pushed it into the corner of the complex. General grounds are ok, a lot of paths as you can imagine depending where your suite is located. Leaves and rubbish never cleared from the paths or roads. You go through a gate from the suites to access the main hotel complex. No where near enough staff to clear used plastic drinking receptacles, no correct drinking receptacles given on your particular choice of drink. Weak spirits and extremely poor choice of cocktails for the AI. Staff at the adults pool bar very good, shout out to Chuss, but they were all great down there. Most of the other staff were ok, but evident that there was a language barrier in certain circumstances. The adults suites are quiet and well kitted out. It’s a good walk to Playa Blanca and a further one to the Rubicon marina although there is a complimentary bus to the Dorada beach which is useful. Jet2 rep and comms very good and also Maciej, the hotel’s guest relations manager who actually listened to the issues. Shame about the hotel director, Miguel Rincon as he wasn’t one bit interested or even listening when I spoke to him. The resolution to some of the issues didn’t really benefit as again the offered drinks were poor and there was a clear flaw in the provision of ingredients, this would have been more annoying and frustrating if you would of paid 9.50 euros for them! The suite safes will cost you 4 euros a day and you pay 10 euros deposit per towel. Kids in the adult only ch
