Elba Carlota Beach & Golf Resort

I visited in April with my husband for 5 days all inclusive as we needed a mini break away. This was the first time we had visited Fuerteventura and our first stay at an Elba hotel. We had the most amazing stay at this hotel, hotel staff were warm and welcoming during our stay and very attentive and happy to help when we needed. The hotel was very clean and modern and located in a quiet peaceful place which was perfect for a bit of relaxation, the hotel is located on the beach front with beautiful views. One of the pools was quite cold so we only braved it once, but the other pool and jacuzzis was a lovely temperature and we used these more, big size pools so plenty room to have fun in the sun. Rooms were so clean, mini bar was stocked up everyday and good size balcony for us both - again it was so peaceful on our balcony and you could hear the birds singing, it was lovely. Entertainment was great, we had a live singer one night and she was so good. Food was great in the buffet restaurant, plenty of choices for everyone, one evening there was a seafood theme which delicious, my husband isn’t a fan of seafood but there was still plenty of food for him to enjoy. Breakfast had a wide range of food available, including a cooked breakfast - snacks were burgers, chicken, crisps, fries, your usual snacks you would find at a pool bar. The only criticism I have is the cocktail menu was limited on what you could have as an all inclusive guest, some you had to pay for. Mojito is one of the main cocktails but this was not included, though we still enjoyed the cocktails that were available. There was a gift shop located at this hotel which was great, lots of beautiful little souvenirs and trinkets, one of my personal favourites was the small cactus plants you could bring home and plant, I loved them that much I bought six for myself and for gifts for loved ones. Hotel is just a few minutes from the shopping centre where there is a Euro Spa and many other shops to do some shopping. We hired scooters that are located at many points, and took a ride out. These cost 35 cents per minute, cheap way of getting around Caleta De Fuste and was so much fun. Overall, this was a gorgeous hotel, staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome. I would definitely recommend a stay here and we had a great time and come away feeling refreshed and relaxed. Thank you Elba Carlota, we will see you again soon on our travels to Fuerteventura.

Very clean & tidy hotel & resort. Nice grounds and nice walk way directly down to the beach. The hotel had a games room, an evening entertainment venue (usually starting at 9pm) and a fab kids disco in another area (from 8:30pm). Always plenty of room and not too busy the week we went in these venues. We had a bath with an over bath powerful shower, always with plenty of hot water. All staff at the hotel, resort & airport were welcoming & friendly, this made a real difference to us feeling relaxed and comfortable staying here. Kids club - we were able to just go and do our own thing e.g. use the soft play, arts & crafts (our autistic 7 year old wouldn’t have been able to stay on his own especially when they were off doing activities, in particular at the pool). No queues at the restaurant whatever time we went. Always plenty of seats at the restaurant & tables always being cleared Food hot, plenty of choice and ‘safe’ options too. We were 1/2 board, you get a drinks list when you go into the restaurant for your evening meal (not for brekki as all the drinks were included then), a staff member takes your drinks order(s) and adds to the list to use as your bill you take to the till to pay on your way out. Being 1/2 board we were able to book one a la carte reservation for the week. The only thing we didn’t realise, the a la carte was only open Monday-Weds (our stay was Sat-Sat), we went to book Weds to find we missed out going there :( Cool-warm pools, not freezing. Meaning our son did get to enjoy them most days unlike a lot of past 3-4 star hotels we’ve stayed at where the pools have always been freezing even in super hot countries! Super location, right next to a lovely quiet beach, with lovely promenade walks. Market (open Sat & Tues) 15-20 mins walk away. Only 15-30mins from the airport (depending on how many hotel stops on route). It didn’t bother us being on an air flight path, the planes weren’t that noisy. A couple of minutes away from some shops, restaurants and a supermarket. A playzone including; bowling, pool, air hockey & arcade games (you need to go to the machine to get a min 5 Euro card to use on the arcade machines). Also, a little kids pay for adventure park which included: trampolines, bouncy castle slide, go karts and a carousel (12 Euro for 30mins but they let us stay longer & come back if not too busy). Our visit to the zoo was amazing. Bus pick-up outside the hotel every morning (9:30am during our stay) 5 Euros per person return. Weather - I think we were a little unlucky the week we went (12-19th April 2025), it didn’t really hot up until late afternoon. However, we were mainly out on walks in the mornings and it was still warm. Just needed a jumper or a jacket to take the edge off the wind. We knew friends that visited a few weeks before and even in Jan with hotter weather (up to 28 degrees in Jan!). Would highly recommend this hotel & resort :)

Stayed here with a friend from 16th-23rd February and enjoyed every minute of it. •The hotel itself is very clean and very well maintained both inside and outside. The ground and the pool areas are spotless. •The staff are absolutely amazing and work tirelessly throughout the day and evening. •Shout out to the animacion team who kept the kiddies and adults amused throughout various times of the day. •Evening entertainment through the week was varied, anything from singers to acrobatic acts. •Food is great, I can’t possible imagine why anyone would go hungry here as the choices are plentiful. Self serve coffee and soft drinks are available, or wine/beer is on request and will be brought to your table. •Snack bar near the pool area has a selection of foods- burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and pastries. Probably more suited to the kiddies, but handy if you don’t want to go into the restaurant for lunch. •The bars have a good selection of drinks and a cocktail menu. •Pool are has plenty sun loungers for everyone. Didn’t really notice too many reserved loungers. Overall this was a really enjoyable stay and I would 100% return here.
