Not worth the money
We simply did not sleep, it was a hot few nights and the air con was broken. We told someone about it after the first night, they said someone would look into it. Clearly they didn’t touch it as it was the same on the second night. Also I wouldn’t rate this hotel as 4 stars, it’s very dated and missing a lot of usual amenities

Overall a lovely location great beach. The staff tried to be helpful. The food in the restaurant in the evening was perfectly good. The language barrier is a struggle but most of the staff persisted. The girl with the long blonde hair who once or twice worked in the Juicy bar was very rude. Seriously bad teenager attitude. We were surprised to realise that the coffee at breakfast does not come from a proper expresso machine. It was quite terrible. We were charged €5 for an Americano coffee at the Juicy Bar - most have ever paid in the world!! Not even 5 star hotels on the Cote D’Azur charge this!! Otherwise we roiled the hotel and Island.

Beautiful hotel close to beach
This is one of the most beautiful beaches and most superb resorts on the island. If we didn't live in America, we'd be back every summer, but we hope to be back again in the coming years. Staying in this hotel made the rest of the hotels throughout our trip in Italy seem very lacking, and all along we wished we were back at Hotel Desiree! Everyone showed the utmost competence, kindness, and consideration throughout our stay and we could not have been more happy or comfortable. The deluxe room was superb, clean, spacious and private. We had a balcony overlooking the beach and were only steps from walking out to our own private reserved beach chairs and umbrella. The breakfast was good for an Italian breakfast (mostly sweets and pastries), and the dinner was also good, though we really preferred to venture out for dinner to explore the island. This was the closest to paradise we've ever seen. Highly recommended!

The staff, food and facilities were all of an excellent standard. The Bathroom in our room was excellent, our room had a nasty smell which mean't that we had to sleep/leave our sliding doors open all day & night.

Tutto perfetto, piccola segnalazione la strada di accesso all'hotel non è proprio comoda per via della sua larghezza e di alcuni dissuasori di velocità a terra che sono veramente alti e un po pericolosi soprattutto in discesa.

Speciale la posizione, sulla spiaggia, e la gentilezza del personale. Negativa la miopia della direzione che, a fronte di un prezzo molto elevato, non provvede alla manutenzione delle camere ( macchie di umido sulle pareti) e soprattutto, fa pagare anche gli extra che di solito sono compresi nel prezzo (il telo da spiaggia, l' acqua nel frigobar, il succo di pompelmo della colazione a buffet...).mancano gli accappatoi nei bagni, una sdraio sul terrazzino e le ciabatte di cortesia.A questo punto, il rapporto qualita'/prezzo non funziona.

Hotel mit super Strand. Frühstücksservice schlecht
Super Lage direkt am Meer mit privaten Badestrand in schöner Bucht. Einziges Ärgernis sind die lange Wartezeite (bis zu einer Stunde) für die Kaffee und Teebestellungen. Auch die kalten Rühreier und nicht funktionstüchtiger Toaster sollten bei einem 4 Sterne Hotel in dieser Preisklasse nicht vorkommen.

La posizione dell’hotel e’ ottima, fronte spiaggia, ma e’ l’unico punto, per quanto attiene alla mia esperienza, sul quale esprimo un giudizio positivo. Ho trovato una struttura che deve avere avuto un passato glorioso, ma che si presenta oggi molto poco curata, come se fosse poco amata: L’esterno non appare pulitissimo, vetrate sporche, pavimento in cotto annerito, balaustre polverose, ma e’ nella stanza, una family nell’edificio accanto alla reception, che ho potuto constatare una trascuratezza ed una scarsa puluzia che mal si conciliano con le 4 stelle attribuite a questo hotel. Tappezzeria con tracce di umidita’, tende macchiate, cappello delle abat- jours macchiato, polvere sulle porte, sulla testata del letto, sul comodino, sottolavello del bagno evidentemente non pulito, box doccia con bordi anneriti, lavandino intasato, doccia idem, infissi sporchi. Ho fatto subito sapere alla reception le condizioni della camera, ma credo di non essere stata presa sul serio, dal monento che si e’ provveduto a fornirmi qualche asciugamano in piu’ e un paio di dosi di bagnoschiuma. Nota pessima per la Colazione, buffet imbarazzante, scarsa scelta, servizio discutibile. Ho fatto foto e video per poterli mostrare al checkout. Dopo aver saldato il conto( del mio soggiorno di tre giorni( la camera costava 586 euro al giorno) ho mostrato tutti alla direzione e, con mia grande sorpresa unita a disappunto, mi son sentita dire:’ piu’ che chiederle scusa non possiamo fare..

Vacanza all'Elba
L'hotel è piacevolmente inserito nel paesaggio sul mare e con molto spazio verde. Purtroppo la nostra camera era al piano terra e vicino alla centrale termica di cui abbiamo sentito ininterrottamente il rumore. Contrariamente alla descrizione non era affatto insonorizzata quindi siamo stati alla mercé dell'educazione degli ospiti vicini. La camera era spaziosa invece il bagno era piccolo e scomodissimo. L'organizzazione in generale lasciava a desiderare, in particolare in sala dove tutto era lasciato alla buona volontà dei camerieri, la maggior parte stagisti con poca esperienza. Non c'è un menu a la carte e il prezzo forfettario per la cena è alto rispetto al cibo. La pulizia è buona. Speriamo che la recensione venga letta non solo dagli ospiti ma anche da chi di dovere, cioè il direttore, scorbutico con i dipendenti e che non si degna neanche di salutare gli ospiti ( la prima volta che ci capita).
