Ist ok
Cons:

Der Abfluss im Boden des Badezimmers riecht leider unangenehm nach Abwasser. Man muss die Tür zum Schlafzimmer geschlossen halten.

Nicht nochmal! Positive Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehbar.
Pros:

Lage ok.

Cons:

Personal unfreundlich und langsam. 3x Bitten um Cappuccino zu bekommen. Bad Katastrophe, kein Duschschlauch, nur feste Brause von oben. Handtuchhalter falsche Größe und falsch montiert, mehrfach schwer Kopf angeschlagen zur Toilette. Essen: Frühstück jeden Tag dasselbe. Abendessen überteuert, schlechte Qualität und Quantität. Bettdecke besteht nur aus einem durchgängigen Laken. Viel zu kalt. TV Programme, keine deutschen öffentlichen, obwohl viele Deutsche und Schweizer im Hotel sind. Hotel nicht aufwaendig renoviert oder saniert, ueberall bröckelt wieder der Putz ab. Zimmer extrem hellhörig, auch keinerlei Dämmung zum Flur. Man hört alles, bis 2 Zimmer weiter. Für ein angebliches 4 Sterne Hotel erwarten wir auch ein Kaffee- und Teezubereiter auf dem Zimmer. Dies war dort auch nicht vorhanden oder auszuleihen. Das hat jedes 3 Sternehotel schon als Standard. Fruehstueckssaefte billige Zuckerploerre wie in einem 2 Sternehotel. Ungenießbar. Auch fast kein frisches Obst beim Frühstücksbuffet. WLAN sehr schwach, überwiegend nicht nutzbar. Das Hotel hat auch kein Innen-oder Aussenpool, deshalb kann ich 4 Sternekategorie auch nicht nachvollziehen. Als Ausgleich eine 24h Rezeption anzubieten, macht keinen Sinn. Dies ist Ressourcen - Verschwendung, da dortiges Personal sich bei jeglicher Frage genervt fühlt und ältere Gäste auch schon relativ früh ins Bett gehen und nachts deshalb auch keine Rezeption brauchen.

Pros:

Super Lage und direkt an einem der schönsten Strände von Elba.

Cons:

Das WLAN könnte besser sein und eine etwas größere Auswahl am Frühstück, ausgenommen den Süßspeisen. Die Säfte sind leider wie Zuckerwasser.
