Great staff - very friendly and attentive.

Room was nice but the bathroom layout wasn’t ideal; angled sink took up a ton of space without being super usable beyond washing hands, little counter space for toiletries, and the shower was either cool or scalding or no hot water. This seemed to be a known issue as the staff knew how to fix this, but it would still be either cool or scalding. Wet-room style so the toilet would get wet from showering along with the extra toilet paper roll. Room lock was just a basic button via the inside door handle and the safe is barely big enough for an ipad. No phone to call reception - contact via whatsapp or going in person.

Directly under the plane flight paths. Beach lounge chairs required a minimum spend on food / drinks even for hotel guests. Location right off the main party strip.

Loverly hotel right on the beach, off the main strip so don’t get the noise from there.
Food is very good and large portions.
Lots of sunbeds available around the pool and on the beach front.

Great location, staff is friendly. Pool amenities and beach club access is great for resort stayers. Definitely would stay here again and this is a genuine review. Restaurant was fantastic as well as the drinks.

If you are good with the music running a bit late at night then no brainer. If not, maybe ask for a room far from the pool. That’s my best recommendation.

The hotel was in an excellent location. The rooms were clean and modern. Staff would clean them daily and give you fresh towels. The pool although it wasn’t large, was well kept and cleaned. The biggest compliment about this hotel was how attentive the staff were. Nothing was too much for them and they were always on hand for any queries. We had relatives with us in another room who had mobility issues. The staff helped with non-slip mats around the bathroom and other needs. The lock wasn’t working correctly on our door and a member of staff was there within a minute to look at it! The bar staff were superb and for breakfast they would offer alternatives if there was something you didn’t want on the menu. Extra tea, coffee or juice were also offered and they even gave us breakfast to take to the room, due to a family member not being mobile enough to make it to breakfast. The food was absolutely delicious and there wasn’t anything I had that I didn’t enjoy.
Planes would fly directly overhead between 7am and about 10pm but this would be the same for all the hotels on Chaweng beach, so this isn’t a hotel issue, but something to be weary of if you wanted total quiet! We can’t wait to return here in the future, ขอบคุณมาก!

Room was very clean. Staff was very nice at check-in and really went out of their way to make the room special for our honeymoon.

However, at checkout, we asked for a 30 minute extension and that was refused. You would think they could be slightly flexible because 30 minutes would have made the biggest difference.

They also did not have a a safe place to keep our baggage. We see this occasionally in Asia and it does not make western travelers feel very safe. I was just expected to leave all of my luggage in the lobby and their response was that there is a camera but if somebody wants to take something, it’s going to be long gone even if a Camera is able to spot the person.

Lastly, we came back after a day of walking around and tried to lay at the pool and we’re told that we could not use the daybed because they were cleaning up to get ready for dinner. It’s a little frustrating as a guest of the hotel, not to be able to use the beds next to the pool at any time- particularly 5:30pm.

We recently stayed for 3 nights in one of the bungalows near to the beach. The room was perfect for a short stay in Chaweng - right on the beach, and close to the main bars and restaurants. 100% recommended.

Vi havde et ok ophold på Elephant Resort. Værelset var dejlig lyst og rengøring var god. Der var en del tissemyre, men det generede ikke.
Det er dog godt at vide, at hotellet ligger et sted hvor du næsten hele døgnet høre fly, lette og lande lige henover hovedet.
Den dag vi ankom var poolen så beskidt, at man ikke kunne se bunden, det blev dog bedre efter der blev sat en ekstra pumpe op, på kanten af poolen, som stod og kørte et par dagen.

Hotellet ligger meget centralt, og er perfekt for shopping og restaurant besøg i Chaweng.

Check in was easy but I had to wait for the room to be ready. The resort is a beachfront hotel. However, the rooms has no views of the beach at all. My room has no window. It was just the balcony. And, I I got a room at the very first end and it’s a major walkway that’s why I couldn’t really open my curtains. The room was clean but showing it’s age.
Other than that, I liked the ambiance at night. Food and drinks were great. The staff were great.

Elephant club was a lovely place to stay! The room was spotless. The staff was very kind, friendly and accommodating to everything we needed. We had booked for three days and ended up staying eight because it was such a lovely experience. The pool guys were exceptional and took very good care of us! The front desk, woman, Ganda was very helpful and helped us with a seamless extension. The fire show was very good. It happens every night and there are additional events happening as well. Some of them were later than we wanted to stay up, but it looked like fun was had by all! We will definitely return to this little gem by the sea.

Very loud, crying kids, expensive, my adult child was refused admittance (I was in shower when she tried to join me - staff could have searched for my reservation and allowed admittance), tiny beach that’s non-existent during part of day. Despite clearly explaining my allergies, the breakfast still triggered allergies 2 days. Incredibly disappointing. I was given a free massage as a “fix”

Amazing stay! - We loved every minute of our stay at Elephant Beach Club & Resort, the only regret we had is we didn't stay longer! - The location was right on the strip, but not noisy at all! The staff were very friendly, and cared about all their guests, the food and drink options were brilliant. The views and the access to the beach was a bonus, it was incredible and I cannot wait to come back!

Keep Low Expectations

Pictures are deceiving. Picked right angles and photoshop. Beach is tiny, beach/restaurant service is rude, owner is rude and enables his staff to provide poor customer service. It is all about the money. Loud at night, bad cocktails, and pool staff yelling at you for no reason

Fun stay, but know that it’s a place for adults!!!

While a family trip for us, we are all adults and so chose Elephant for proximity to nightlife, the Sat night party & firedancing shows. I was surprised to see some families with little kids here, since the environment isn’t really designed for them- plus, the little kids overtook the hotel pool in the late afternoons, annoying. (Parents, you should do better.) Other reviews I read before booking warned about noise but I don’t think it would have been too loud in the hammock suites; we had booked a bungalow and ours unfortunately was located in the middle section that sits parallel to a bar on the Main Street that did karaoke(?)so it was pretty loud with bad singing). Airplane noise and strange whooping animal noises too. (Thankfully, the hotel provides free earplugs!) The staff was wonderful and went the extra step to make our vacation great after a slight hiccup with our airport pick up. The Sat night party & fire dancing show was FUN! The only downside was that the hotel beach has black stuff on the waterline so we didn’t use it at all- we traveled by cab to Lamai Beach, which was costly. Later on, I surmised that the nightly fire shows are causing this effect to the beach, probably destroying wildlife too making me feel very sad and guilty as a tourist who loves these fireshows. My only suggestion to hotel would be to do them every other night instead of nightly- this would also force people to book at least 2 nights. Otherwise, gorgeous property and very kind staff!!!

This property is steps away from restaurants, bars & shopping. It has a night club atmosphere if you stay on the weekend but surprisingly the rooms are quiet. The beach is minimal at high tide but it gets wider if you walk down a bit. They transform the beach at sunset to a chill vibe. Front desk staff are so helpful & kind. The only disappointment is we felt pressured in the day by pool staff to buy drinks or food to be able to sit on our pool chairs. They don’t like it if you leave your chair for some time or try to move chairs either unless you are spending $$$

The room was amazing and kept clean everyday. Location is magical and so close to night life. Very chilled vibe around the pool. Food menu choices were the best although a little limited with breakfast. We could have eaten tempura prawns by the pool all day. Fire show at night is amazing. Cool pool party on Saturday night, very loud though if your room is near the pool. Would definitely come back :)

Vi bodde i luksusbungalowen, og den var kjempefin. Deilig frokost servert i restauranten hver morgen. Frokosten var frem til kl. 11.00 som er et pluss.
Deilige solsenger med tykke madrasser på stranden. Personalet var super service minded, og spesielt på stranden hvor vi fikk fantastisk service. Flammeshow der hver kveld, og større events hver lørdag med Dj. Vi kommer tilbake neste sommer.

I can’t recommend this hotel. I basically never write reviews, especially negative ones, but this time I have to.

The water and toilets did not work properly during the first couple of days, and there was no hot water.

There are no phones in the room to call reception, so you have to go there in person.
The shower pressure was poor and the shower head was not fully functional, with water only coming out of some of the holes.

The sink had black mold.

A member of staff served red wine and spilled it on my new shoes, ruining them completely. At least I got a “sorry”.

It wasn’t all bad: the food was okay and the portions were good.

I would not stay here again and do not recommend this place to anyone, especially given the price, as there are much better options available.

Det her ville jeg selv havde ønsket jeg havde vidst på forhånd !
1) Det er selvfølgelig en Beach club men denne er det indtil kl 01.00 om natten !
2) lufthavns fly går direkte ind over hotellet og det larmer meget ca hvert 20-30 minut. Fra ca kl.7 om morgenen
3) poolen er meget lille og de har svært ved at holde den ren man kunne slet ikke se bunden 😬
4) vi boede i en luksus bungalow nr 4 B tættest på poolen og der stod personale hele tiden lige ud for vores terrasse så vi var på ingen måde private .
5) værelserne var pæne og rene og morgenmaden udemærket ingen buffet
