Just spent a week at the Elba Palace golf hotel, and what an experience, the weather was not it's usual temp due to strong north north east winds, the golf was challenging, but the course was in great condition, fast greens, only negative was the bunkers, as full of what I can only say was loose hard-core. Hotel wise I have to mention Yamila the waitress for breakfast and Dinner, she made our holiday, she was funny, attentive, and an absolute credit to the hotel, there was nothing she would not do to help the customers, and a reason to go back, if the hotel reads this please promot her, the rooms are smart, comfy, very spacious and very quiet at night, a great place to relax and re-coup, now for the food, the starter buffet change every night as did the specials and the deserts, and the choice and quality were exceptional catering for all tastes, from carnivores to vegetarian, the wine choice is amazing, but to be honest the house white, rose and red are very smooth packed with fruit and a quality, that goes down well, as so easy to drink, and leaves no hangover in the morning, and the price compared to some places we have been to is good a large glass only €5 and a bottle only €20 The pool area is large, with a good number of sunbeds with thick comfortable cushions, but you do not feel you are on top of anyone else, the only negative was the pool was not heated, which with the cooler temperature it would have been nice to have, but europe pools all seem to be going down the same route on pool heating (none). The big question I always ask after a holiday away, is would I return?, and on this occasion the answer would be.........yes, especially if Yamila was there to great us again. Well done Elba Palace for a great holiday, keep up the great work, look forward to seeing you all again, for Golf. Oh almost forgot, for you smokers out there, there is plenty of smoking areas and you are not tucked away In some dingy corner like some places in europe, and looked at as if you are unclean, which is good for us who do. 😀
