This resort is a great choice for families, offering an impressive variety of activities for kids and a welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoyed the flavorful cuisine and the beautiful pool areas, perfect for relaxing. However, the in-room safe comes with a fee that's a bit surprising for a property of this caliber, and the air conditioning in one of our rooms wasn't up to par. Still, it was a memorable stay overall.

I had an incredible stay at this resort! The rooms were spacious and meticulously clean, with a lovely balcony that offered views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. The dining options were impressive, with a wide variety of delicious dishes at the buffet that exceeded my expectations. However, while the beach was easily accessible, the hotel is a bit isolated from local shops and restaurants, which may not suit everyone's preference. Overall, it was a fantastic value for a relaxing getaway.

Elba Costa Ballena Beach and Thalasso Resort offers a perfect blend of relaxation and fun, ideal for families looking to enjoy quality time together. While the staff provides exceptional service and the dining options are varied and delicious, some minor issues, like the in-room safe fee and inconsistent air conditioning, could be improved.

Our stay at the Elba Costa Ballena Beach and Thalasso Resort was a blend of relaxation and adventure, with excellent dining options and a welcoming atmosphere. The buffet selection was incredibly diverse, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make every moment enjoyable. While the parking fees were a bit steep, the overall value we received made it worthwhile. However, it would have been great to have more nearby dining options beyond the hotel itself.
