I recently stayed at the hotel and unfortunately it was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. The room itself was in a terrible state, with peeling wallpaper, dirty carpet, and a musty smell that made it hard to breathe. The bedding was stained and uncomfortable, and the pillows were flat and offered no support. The bathroom was not cleaned properly, with hair and grime in the shower and dirty towels. To make matters worse, the staff were unhelpful and unprofessional. When I brought the issues with the room to their attention, they were dismissive and unresponsive. They were not willing to help or make any effort to improve my stay. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was rundown and uninviting, and it was clear that they did not value their guests' comfort and satisfaction. The hotel was also far from any tourist attractions or restaurants, making it difficult to enjoy my time in the city. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, and will not be returning. I have stayed in many hotels before and this was by far the worst experience. I would advise anyone looking for a place to stay to avoid this hotel and look for a better alternative.

Be ready to pay extra for everything
It's a pretty nice hotel with very good management. A bit outdated but well maintained. Isabel at the reception was so nice and helpful, she is amazing and Hermano (I believe) is just a star. Amazing example when people do their job with all the heart. The only and biggest issue I had was the lack of water everywhere! I was not allowed to have even glass of water during dinner, that's ridiculous! I paid £180 per night with half board food and when I came to have dinner I was told that I am not even allowed to have a glass of water, I need to pay for any drink I want to have. At least they did not say anything when I gave water to my baby form her bottle, I was really angry and ready to argue about that too. That's a shame, I won't be back here because of so awful company policy. They really could do with free water at the reception and restaurant areas as other hotels do.

I booked Elba Sara hotel for our first time in Fuerteventura celebrating my 29th birthday. We had a lovely stay! The hotel is very close to the airport. Room was spacious with pool/ sea view. Not the most modern room but it was ok. Aircon didn’t really work, same with the fridge but it didn’t bother us. Food was very good, every day different dishes, and even when there was not too many options the ones available were delicious. Good selection of drinks available also. One main restaurant for all meals. The only thing missing was some background music. Any type of music would do. Unfortunately all you could hear was the plates and people chatting which gave the atmosphere of a canteen and that was a shame as the restaurant was very nicely designed. Staff were very friendly and always trying their best. Nice atmosphere around the pool and good entertainment throughout the day and also in the evening, they have an outdoor bar and another 2 inside the hotel with nice shows every evening. The hotel is close to the golf course, shopping centre, beach, beach restaurant if you fancy going out but it has so much to offer that you may not feel the need. I was very surprised to find a bottle of champagne in the room on my birthday, very nice touch, thank you very much to the management! It’s a perfect place and can’t wait to go back!

We loved everything about our holiday! The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was amazing, they did different food themes every night e.g Italian, Mexican, British etc. The whole hotel was clear and the view from our room was beautiful. I really loved having the choice of either sitting by the pool or sitting on my own balcony. There is lots of things to do there and was very nice exploring outside of the hotel as well

Had a lovely room, best part of hotel. The rest could do with updating, its a bit tired and lacks any atmosphere. The staff they have are good and work hard, were profesional and courteous. They just need more of them. Food temperature in buffet needs resolving, lots of barely lukewarm foods. Good location, lack of evening entertainment generally. Could be very good if a few things were looked at and a bit of money spent modernising.

No frills Boring Outdated & brown decoration Full of manky vicious stray cats everywhere Stinking rotten fish smell in part of the hotel makes you urge NO BEACH, the gate is locked by a padlock and it is full of big rocks, bushes and weeds. There is a derelict fortification on the beach in front of the hotel and it is full of beer cans, rubbish and is used as toilet because it stinks and adult business after dark. The beach at a neighbour is approx 500 yards away that they tell you to use and there is no beach bar or WC, so you have to walk a 1km round trip to go back to your hotel to get a drink. It is a public beach so you can't leave your belongings alone and most of the guests had to lay on their beach towel on the sand because of lack of beds and parasols. There are naked people (OAPs and children) on the beach. No atmosphere No bellboy No public relations No concierge No service in the restaurant, serve your own drinks from press button nescafe machine No change of food options = boring, unappetising for 3 hrs not touched and dried out (people were sick) No info about allergens, half the items didn't have a sign, the wrong signs or foreign No pool drinks service No slippers & dressing gown No iron & board No free safe Empty fridge No excursions desk or info No info about weather No change of entertainment, repeated a sax player 4 times in 10 days. One a la carte Italian restaurant, I was given 1 visit time at check in for the 10 day stay (time and date given to me)

Dear guest, We are sorry to see this very low rating, but we couldn’t help noticing that your statements regarding our services are untrue and misleading, and we would like to take this opportunity to defend our establishment from mendacity. First of all, it’s not stated anywhere that our Hotel has a private beach: the nearest beach is located at less than 500m from our Hotel, and in this same website - which you used for your booking - we specify that it is at a 6 minutes’ walk.There's also a map you can consult to check its proximity.No padlock locks our back gate, which can be opened by our guests with their room’s keys.Right on the beach there is the lovely Chiringuito beach bar, which serves drinks and food and which provides also WC service for the beach users.Furthermore, the shopping center “Atlantico” is right at the Hotel’s side (3/4 minutes’ walk), with public toilets, shops, bars and restaurants.Therefore, there is absolutely no need to “walk back to the Hotel to get a drink” if you don’t want to.The “derelict fortification” you mention is an ancient ruin of a lime kiln,an historical site.Even if it's close to our Resort, it's not part of our complex and its maintenance and cleaning are not our responsibilities.With regard to the presence of some nudist tourists - in Caleta de Fuste they are almost non-existent – we are sorry you felt disturbed by their presence but we remind you that the beaches are public and they don’t belong to our Hotel (in which nudism is obviously forbidden).We don’t have a bellboy/concierge (and we don’t advertise this service anywhere) because our Reception is open 24h/day.We do have a Public Relations Manager (working 8 hours/day, 5 days/week) always available to help our guests in anything they may need during their stay.Her desk is clearly visible, placed in our Hall just in front of the Reception Desk.Our Restaurant is Buffet-style and we don’t have table service for the food (the guests make their plate choosing the food they prefer from the trays displayed), but we do have table service for the drinks, even if most of our All Inclusive guests prefer to serve themselves from the dispensers.Every night we have a different themed dinner (Canarian, International, Spanish, Mexican and Asiatic), and our guests are generally happy with the variety on offer.Every dish in our Buffet is labelled with the name of the food and the allergens, displayed in 5 languages.Our Head Chef is always available to show to guests with allergies/intolerances which are the suitable options for their dietary needs.The only thing the guest has to do is to inform our staff at the entrance of the Buffet in order to call the Chef and get assistance.In case the guests have doubts about the food they are choosing, both our PR and Manager on Duty are available at the Buffet entrance to provide more specific information, with the assistance of the Head Chef.Our pool bar is open from 10.30h to 17.30h with waiters serving drinks to our gues

Hotel was very clean throughout and staff was excellent, very helpful and friendly. The room was large and well furnished, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was also large and the shower was powerful. I thought that the €4 charge per day for safe was a little cheeky considering this is a 4 star hotel. Decor throughout the hotel, including the rooms, was tired and needs refurbishment. The bar in particular needs attention, the furniture was well past it’s sell by date. The drinks were however, of very good quality with premium brands available. The bar staff were very hard working and cheerful The food was variable, some days it was good and other days not so good. Breakfast was okay with a good selection of food but dinner was a mixed affair, sometimes good, sometimes the meat was very tough as though it had been kept warm for some time. The pool area was lovely and there were always plenty of sun beds and shades. The gardens were exceptionally well kept and the water feature and fish were well looked after as were the cats in the cat cafe. The cats don’t bother you by the way if you are not a fan!

Nice hotel in quiet location however not too far from main town. Staff very friendly and courtesy. Rooms with exceptional views of the Ocean. Plenty of free and safe car parking places which is important for us. We were in Caleta de Fuste in March and there was no problem in getting a sun lounger. Good choice of food for Breakfast and Dinner.

Dear Guest, thank you for reviewing here your recent stay at the Elba Sara Beach & Golf Resort. Since our guests' satisfaction is always our first aim, we sincerely regret to read that you did not feel completely satisfied with our services. In particular, we are sorry to know that you found our food to be repetitive; our chefs do their best in order to offer our guests with a wide and varied choice every day, rotating among five different themes at dinner time every week (spanish, canarian, mexican, asiatic and international). We are also sorry (and a little bit surprised) to read that you felt disappointed by our New Year's Eve Gala Dinner; on that special occasion, we offered our guests a much wider food choice in our Buffet (not only fish options, but also many meat dishes). We sincerely regret to know that the variety offered did not meet your expectations, as most of our New Year's guests gave us very good feedbacks about the Gala. With regard to your comment about the missed information on what to do/to see in the surrondings we would like to point out that our Reception Desk is open 24h, and our receptionists always available to provide our guests with touristic information about the area and the island in general. Our clients only need to ask the Front Desk Staff and they will receive all the information they need. We sincerely hope to welcome you back again in future and be able to change your mind about our services. Best regards,

Comfortable beds, great breakfast, right by beach!
We had to book our trip last minute, and found a good deal with this hotel. We were pleasantly surprised! The staff were amazing (especially Steven at the front desk and Judith in the Albatros restaurant), but really everyone was smiling and helpful and so willing to do whatever they could to make our stay nice. We had a Junior Suite with a view of the ocean, and the bed was AMAZING, so comfortable, and the view was fantastic. We could open the large balcony doors and look at the ocean from our bed! The hotel itself had a few small things that were just tired, but didn't impact our overall stay. The "heated" pool wasn't really heated, but we were there in January, so maybe that's why. It was nice to take a quick dip in though after lounging in the sun reading. There were lots of sun loungers, and the beach was just 2 minute walk from the hotel. Supermarket just 3 minutes walk with a few shops. Not really much local culture, but a nice resort to stay at. We did half board and the breakfast buffet was always amazing. They also did a great job changing up the dinners. Personally I wouldn't do all inclusive because there are other restaurants to eat at, and eating buffet gets boring, even with the fantastic job they did. Half board was enough for us. There was a car rental kiosk in the lobby, which was FANTASTIC! You could rent for a day, or whatever, they bring the car to you and you leave it at the hotel! Great! Overall very nice stay! Great staff, comfortable beds, beach.

Nice hotel overall, but not sure we would go back
Made a reservation in this hotel with our 9 mo old daughter. Upon arrival, we were surprised to learn that our full board reservation did not include beverages for lunch and dinner (we are used to all inclusive stays in the carribean). I (now) understand that full board is not the same as all inclusive, but i would've liked It to be specified on the reservation page or in the reservation details (expedia???). Also, i payed for a room with a queen bed and a sea view, but we ended up being given a room with 2 single beds, garden view and no wifi connexion. We raised this issue with the front desk clerk and he fixed it for us the next day: we had a sea view room with a king bed and excellent wifi (as this room was closer to the lobby). Breakfast buffet was the best one of the 3 according to me. As we do not eat meat, we ended up eating a lot of fries, pizza and 1-2 vege options. We also noticed that the food had a tendancy to be "recycled"... A cake that was served in last night's dinner would reappear in today's lunch... The clientele is mainly composed of senior couples and families with babies/toddlers (which is nice when you travel with a baby). The location is perfect as it is at a walking distance to the beach and a small mall (with a grocery store, which comes in handy to buy big bottles of waters to keep in your room since 200ml water bottles sell at 2€ during lunch and dinner). Nice experience overall, but will probably rent a studio/appartment next time.

Relaxing break
Check in was quick and reception were welcoming with a drink on arrival. We only stayed on a B&B basis, but the breakfasts were good with plenty of choice. Our room was on the second floor and we had a good size room and balcony. The bathroom was a bit tired and some of the tiles around the bath were cracked. The floor was very dirty throughout our week stay. The entertainment was really good - it wasn't in your face and you could choose to join in if you wanted but could also be in your room and not hear any noise from the music etc. The location of the hotel is next to a small shopping mall. Although the sea is just in front of the hotel, the beach is not great here but if you walk a bit further down to the Elba Carlotta, it is much better with loungers and umbrellas available. Although there are two pools in the hotel, the water was too cold to swim in the pools, even the heated one. Overall, we would stay here again if we came to Caleta for a relaxing break.

Great outdoor pool area & location to beach
On arrival hotel has wow factor, our room was basic with a sea view but when it came to bed time the noise from the plant room sounded like a lighthouse foghorn and it was reported but no one got back to us. Food was disappointing as it was just the same thing every night with a slight ingredient variation so buy our 5th/6th night we were not eating. Staff favoured guests that were not wearing the All Inclusive wristband which was annoying as we had paid more for our holiday but this was purely tip oriented.

Great hotel!
The hotel was great! The location worked well for me and my friend as it was right by the beach yet not to far from the town and there was a shopping centre next door with restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful and rooms were kept clean, the one downside was you had to pay for the safe in the room. We only had breakfast at the hotel but the selection provided was amazing and we definitely enjoyed it! There was also plenty of activities to do in the hotel such as mini golf, archery and the shooting range, so you won't easily get bored. Have recommended to my parents they go here in the summer!

2nd visit
Having stayed in Elba Sara previously the experience was as expected, with attentive staff, excellent location with a free shuttle bus travelling between other hotels in Caletta, taxi costs from hotel to town centre was only a few Euros, however it was a pleasant walk along the beach with ample cafe stops on the way. The food was excellent with much choice. My one issue was that the allocated room (249) whilst clean and well maintained did sit in the shade all day, so no relaxing/sun bathing on the balcony - despite this, we enjoyed the holiday and would book again but would question the room location!

8/10 Good

Great holiday, lovely hotel.
Just returned from a week at the Hotel Elba Sara with my 16 year old daughter, very happy with the hotel, very clean and food was great, wide variety. One little thing we were disappointed with, was our flight was an evening departure and while we understood that the hotel was busy and late check out was but possible but no courtesy room was available even for an hour to shower etc, we ended up showering in the gym and trying to pack out last bits into the suitcase on the foyer floor, not ideal, give the calibre of the hotel this just let it down Hotel is located a bit outside the resort, nothing much in the vicinity, shops bars etc about 15 mins walk or 3,50euro in a taxi.

10/10 Excellent

We had a fantastic holiday all of the staff at this hotel made you feel so welcomed and that's why it's our second trip to this hotel and no doubt we will be returning again and again.
