7.8/10 Good! (216 reviews)
Great location, beach, restaurants, activities only a few minutes away by car. Breakfast has hot and cold options however it was basically the same items for the 5 days so we were tired of it by the 3rd day. Did the friday happy hour at the bar it is 50% off drinks excluding cocktails the live music a singer who was ok. Room although small has all you need and was clean. There is a popular spot next door I didn't go but the parking area was always full because of their patrons so thats night time entertainment at your door step.

The ever splendid Oyster Box. Personal and attentive service in a stunning setting. Uniquely charming. Fabulous service at every turn from the lovely first aiders to the friendly and professional pool staff, to the polite and charming front desk staff . But as ever the icing on this fabulous cake were George and his team and Leon in The Grill. Faultless and friendly service , enthusiastic shared knowledge from a great sommelier and head of house and lovely music from maestro Leon. The monkeys are ever cheekier and Sabenka is sadly missed but the splendour of this lovely hotel endures . And our new favourite breakfast server , Charlie on The Terrace . Already counting the days until we return . Also very lovely to experience sunrise and the regular dolphins swimming by from the sea facing garden cabana . I just need to win the lottery to stay in that amazing Presidential suite !

We stayed for 9 night so it was important that we had all the comforts of home. Coastlands provides that and even more. The bed was comfortable. Staff was always pleasant. The breakfast range varied every day which made it enjoyable. The hotel is only a short walk to Gateway shopping mall and is located in a very safe area.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an Esseldene travel package cost?
We make it simple for everyone to travel, with Esseldene travel packages starting from just £828. You'll have the flexibility to combine your preferred airlines, hotels and car rental. For the ultimate escape, why not add a couple of tours and activities to your travel itinerary?
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Esseldene travel package?
If your travel plans in Esseldene have been upended, it's good to know that it is possible to cancel your booking. If you made your booking in the last 24 hours, you may be eligible for a refund. If your booking is older than that, your hotel, airline or car rental company may charge fees. For more information, check our Customer Service Portal.
How do I get a cheap travel package to Esseldene?
One of the simplest ways to save cash (and time) is to bundle your bookings with Expedia. Flights, hotels, activities and rental cars — we've got everything you need. Choose a combination that best fits you and watch your savings pile up. Of course, a travel package is never a one-size-fits-all. That's why we offer over 550 airlines and 1,000,000 properties globally, which lets you customize your Esseldene getaway.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Esseldene holidays?
Your bank balance shouldn't get in the way of escaping on holiday, so Expedia has devised a solution to help. Now that we've formed a partnership with online lender Klarna, it's easier than ever to book a dream getaway without exhausting your savings. Klarna offers flexible payment options at checkout that take the stress out of budgeting for your trip. Consider one of these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: Klarna has convenient monthly payment plans that work for all types of budgets, so you can escape on that well-deserved holiday now.
  • Pay in instalments holidays: With this Book Now, Pay Later option, Klarna allows you to pay for your trip across multiple transactions.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your trip (rather than the total upfront) makes it easier to click that "book now" button, go for a low deposit holiday payment plan from Klarna.

What are the top hotels in Esseldene?
Book a stay at The Royal Hotel. It's one of this neighbourhood's most popular hotels. Another well-known option in Esseldene is Zimbali Resort.
How far in advance should I book my Esseldene holiday?
Savvy travellers often book as early as possible. You can usually start comparing international airfares on Expedia up to 12 months before your intended flight. If you've left things to the last minute, don't despair. Cheap prices sometimes appear in the last weeks before departure dates.
What does an Expedia Esseldene travel package include?
Rental cars, flights and hotels, or any combination of them — it's your choice. Whether you're venturing to Esseldene with the family or enjoying a solo break, there's a package to suit your budget and style. Once you've made your booking, why not add on a couple of tours and experiences?
What should I know before booking an Esseldene travel package?
An Expedia travel package can be customized for your circumstances and is a simple way to make your budget go further. How much you include is up to you. Rental cars, hotels and flights — choose any combination that works with your plans.
Can I choose my airline with an Esseldene Expedia travel package?
Yes — and it's easy too. Expedia has access to more than 550 partner airlines all over the world. Our packages give you the flexibility to take your pick of available flights, hotels and activities that suit you.
