Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff was friendly and the food was good. We're vegans and they had plenty of options and even made some extras per our request. The pool was fun and spacious and had a nice calm vibe. However, the general state of the hotel and the cleanliness of the room and the public areas has deteriorated in the past few years. It was unpleasant to see little things around the hotel not clean, not taken care of. For example ants in the room, flies in the dining areas and pigeon droppings around the public areas outdoor. For a hotel that calls itself luxurious, the level of cleaning and maintenance was low.

Our experience at Elma Hotel

My family and I had a two night stay at this property. The location and view from our room was amazing. The service on the other hand was not great. We stayed in suite 501 which is right above the garage opening which creates tremendous noise from banging against the drainage system of the garage that translated straight to our room about 400 to 500 times a day. We asked for our room to be serviced and it was not. For the price we paid we expected a lot better quality of stay.

Not a great experience

After having come from a spa in northern Israel which was incredible .. the staff went out of their way to be helpful, it was not the feeling in this hotel. It had a cold feeling .. it was a gorgeous hotel, with incredible views, and wonderful art, but it left my husband and I cold. I felt like we were in an art gallery but had a place to sleep there. Also, they claim they ah e an elevator, which they do, but each of the rooms I saw had a number of steps up to the room. My husband has a walker, and it was a bit difficult for him. It would have been wonderful if someone offered to help us to our room. I wish I hadn’t spent the kind of money I did on this place.

We booked a half board stay at a significant premium, expecting dinner on arrival. However, we were only offered a sandwich or soup in the bar. Dinner the next night did not even include soft drinks. Also had maintenance issues in the room. When we complained and asked to talk to the manager, there was sympathy but no call back from manager and no compensation whatsoever. Service is sympathetic but not effective. Value for money, especially for the half board upgrade, is poor.

Disappointed

We had booked a specific type of suite. When we arrived they had downgraded us without informing us. We were given the keys and when we got into the room were shocked by the downgrade. Eventually we were moved to a better room which was still not the category that we had reserved. We were obviously given compensation for that but our disappointment was great because we didn’t have the view that we hoped for. We selected this hotel for the view and therefore booked the best accomodations there but our stay was with no view. One of the biggest complaint is that we were not informed beforehand that we would not be getting the room reserved. We were not treated with consideration. Our room was not cleaned during our two nights stay and we had to request the maid to come. They came and they only changed towels and did not clean bathroom and bedroom. Definitely not the type of service you expect for a five star hotel
