The hotel was very clean and the room was spotless. The staff were very helpful but seemed a little unhappy at times. The location is very nice for a quiet short break but there is nothing much round it for a longer stay. Our visit was in March so the area was a little like a ghost town which is... More

Hotel is in beautiful condition and located a short walk from the sea and a golf course. Staff are friendly. Rooms are in excellent condition. Outdoor pool is large and beautifully landscaped but not heated. Spa is amazing. Would definitely come back. More

Elba Costa Ballena is a beautiful resort, nestled in the country just along the beach. Costa Ballena has beautiful beaches and this hotel is in just the right location. It is located at the end of the string of resorts, making the beaches less crowded. We were American's and spoke only a little Spanish, and this hotel catered to this.... More

We had a mixed experience with this hotel. Reception was friendly and efficient and the place, from the inside at least, looked like a 4 star hotel- even if the outside looked like the Taleban had been using the place for target practice. The room was passable. No great complaints about it apart from the esoteric method to turn on... More

We enjoyed staying here very much. Very nice large room with balcony. The swimming pools are just about the minimum adequate size, though. Anyway, the beach takes only a 5 minute walk, and the water in july is warm. Generous breakfast and buffet if you stay on half-board, good variety and quality (I definetely disagree to a previous review). Small... More

We enjoyed staying here very much. Very nice and big room with balcony. Compliments on the cleaning ladies. Would definetly come back here.... but you need a car to visit some places. Beach is just around the corner and swimming pool is great. We didn't like the evening buffet but went outside for dinner after tried it once. More

I stayed for 4 nights during a business trip so unfortunately I did not have much time to enjoy the hotel's amenities. The pool was beautiful and I did catch an hour poolside to relax. Nice view from my room over the pool and adjacent golf course. The walk to the beach takes 5 minutes down a pathway. The beach... More

We've stayed for the 3rd time at Elba Costa Ballena near Rota and we still really enjoy this place. The staff is really nice and helped us throughout the stay. We're really happy customers. The room booked was nice and after 2 nights, we asked to move to have a better view (pool and golf) and it was no problem.... More

I spent 8 days in the hotel and can not complain about the staff and the room. The restaurant on the other side offerd each day breakfast and dinner buffet. Unfortunately the quality of the food was not first class. The offer at the bar was also slightly poor. You had to ask about the drinks and they needed the... More
