Reviews for Elba Palace Golf & Vital Hotel
Dream team
30 visits and this hotel is consistently amazing. Every visit, no matter if it was the first or our thirtieth, we have been treated with first class service. Other reviews have suggested that if you’re not golfers, there is nothing else to do. Well, apart from total relaxation and a dip In the pool in the most tranquil setting after a session in the gym followed by a delicious breakfast - sounds pretty perfect to us! Lunch at Hole 19, which has always been spot on, with beautiful salads and small tapas plates, and ending the day in St Andrews restaurant (highly recommend the salmon!) Top all this off with a beautifully decorated and characterful hotel with views over the pool and golf course. Then, as nearly all reviews have stated, the staff! The assistant manager, Pilar is the star of the show - making every visit so wonderful. The new manager, Mercedes, has brought even more class and glamour to the hotel. Not to forget the unsung heroes - the awesome Ali, Yamilla, Theresa, Tania, Angel, Andrea, Carlos, Camilla, Jesus, Lupe and Valeria... and the amazing Mulud!! A dream team! The new year’s gala dinner and celebrations were the best yet! Brilliant food and entertainment - the management team absolutely smashed it.

All about the Golf..
Firstly, the hotel is a lovely size, not too many rooms, very well cared for and all of the staff are excellent, all have a smile and they can’t do enough for you, they are a real credit to the hotel.. Golf The hotel is all about the Golf, pretty much everyone is there to play golf and obviously many come on a daily basis to play golf, so it’s all golf attire and golf banter around the place including on the terrace. The course is well kept, some nice holes and we both enjoyed it. It is achievable in comparison to some of the more challenging mainland Spain courses, quite flat and easily walkable.. The driving range and practice areas are also very good.. Food This is where it needs improvement in my eyes. Firstly, Breakfast is probably the poorest we’ve had at any comparable rated hotel. Very limited hot food selection and ‘hot’ is what it is not, mainly all the food in the warmers is cold which isn’t great…. Usually with a hot food selection you would expect standard additions like tomatoes & mushrooms but these additions are not on offer… There is an egg chef where you can get the only real hot option and the omelettes are lovely.. A strange set up is that the chilled yoghurt and fruit is right at the side of the egg chef which seems to contradict what I would expect to be normal food hygiene procedures (hot & cold) but I am no expert.. Lunch is basically sandwich, pizza or burger and quite limited, we would have preferred to see some small plate / tapas options to share as not everyone wants frozen food everyday. Lunch is on the terrace and a shared area with golfers who may / may not be staying at the hotel. Dinner is more of a let down as the concept and service is excellent, walk up buffet starter and then al a carte main course from a mixed menu. Sounded perfect to us, however some of the food really isn’t nice, I am not sure the chef tastes the food he serves as some of it is inedible.. An example, the risotto is so over powered with garlic one 1/2 of a spoon was all either of us could manage and it was returned.. We were also there for the Christmas gala dinner and most courses were not nice and some were inedible, a real shame as you could see the staff wanted to make it a special meal. I don’t think anyone in the room ate the meat course, all were returned from what we could see. Rooms The rooms are an excellent size, very large bed & bathroom, good quality furniture and our balcony overlooked the golf course and the sea, pretty perfect. Regular linen and room cleaning, very good… Pool The Pool is a nice area, well spaced out and good quality beds etc.. You have to access via the Golf pro shop / golf buggy collection area. The golf driving range is alongside so you’re never far away from the golf & if that’s why you are there it’s pretty perfect.. If not you may want to have a think about being surrounded by golf all day.. We are golfers but if not there isn’t a lot else to do.. Location It is a 30 minute walk to the nearest shops, restaurant so if you just want to escape the golf for an hour you need to take into account the walk or use the complimentary shuttle / take a taxi into town. We prefer to have somewhere to walk to close by for a change of scene. Overall It’s all about the Golf, the hotel is a lovely place to be if that’s your thing.. We are both golfers but it did feel a bit much at times, another area for non golfers for a nice lunch would be a good idea.. The staff are the real star of this hotel and are superb..

It’s the little things that make a difference
Currently staying at the Elba Palace for a week golfing. The hotel is lovely, well situated for the golf course. The rooms are good, with everything you need. Housekeeping are very good too. The restaurant and breakfast staff are also excellent and nothing is too much trouble, including Yamilla’s wine recommendations. The things that could be improved: hot plates at breakfast. A more varied main course menu for dinner, in fact on a couple of occasions we’ve not had a main course at all. It’s small things that make a difference

5 star overall
Just returned following a fabulous stay in this fantastic hotel. The rooms were outstanding especially our room which over looked the 18th and above the 19th (room 111 ). The staff were extremely attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, it was just sorted. The cafeteria for breakfast was excellent and catered for all, from a full English to fresh honey dripping from the honeycomb tub. Lunch in the hotel was no more expensive than wandering to the local tourist area, drinks too were on a par, certainly not overpriced a large campocruz and large wine 10 euros. Evening meal was great, buffet starter with a great selection and a varied theme each evening, then you ordered from the al a carte menu which was great. The house keeping staff were so friendly and super efficient. There were so many touches that made our stay special, for example staff bringing fresh fruit around the pool area mid morning. The only area lacking was evening entertainment, very limited a violinist, harpist and a singer over our seven night stay (neither were to my taste) however there could be more and a little more varied especially considering the size of the hotel and the under utilised public areas that there were. Overall a fantastic relaxing stay, whether you play golf or not.

Just WOW!
This hotel is a hidden gem and I almost don't want to share how wonderful it is in case I miss out on a room in the future! What can I say? Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Upon arrival, we were given cava whilst we checked in and our bags were taken to our room. We booked a suite and it was perfect. We chose the pillows we wanted from the pillow menu, something my husband particularly appreciated as he always has pillow issues in hotels! Our evening meals were fantastic! Buffet starters were plentiful and delicious. Main courses were served with a fantastic choice, including two specials a day. Breakfast had everything you could possibly want, including freshly squeezed orange juice and eggs freshly prepared to your liking. All staff encountered were happy, helpful and couldn't do enough for you. The hotel is immaculate and so very pretty. As the hotel is small, it feels so private and special. I've never felt so relaxed anywhere in the world. Needless to say we are returning next year and cannot wait! Thank you to the deputy manager, Pilar, who personally showed me another room in the hotel I might like and spent time talking me through the benefits. She also sent us a gift of chocolates and cava to our room on our last evening! Can it really get any better? Well done Elba Palace - we will be home again soon!
