This hotel has a great location, a very good pool and a private beach. The staff is attentive, friendly and welcoming. That's the good points. Everything else is bad- the hotel needs investing some money into renovation the rooms as our air conditioning was non-existent and water taps were working so badly that hardly any water was coming out, the furniture is basic and very outdated. The hotel restaurant is terrible - the breakfast and dinner options are of such a poor quality it's unbelievable. The desserts, apparently, are being baked in a prison in Padua and delivered to Elba- they cannot be fresh by definition. It's a 4-star hotel, they should use 4-star chefs, not inmates to cook the food! As a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teenagers, we were told at the beach that we are only allowed 1 umbrella and 2 sunbeds- really?? We had a double room, so surely everyone should be allowed to have a sunbed! So inconsiderate. The location is so beautiful so do come but do not stay at this hotel, it is stuck somewhere in the 70s.
