What made our stay even better was the amazing staff. A special mention goes to Shalika, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout our entire stay. She truly went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for great service and a perfect view of the elephants!

Отдельное спасибо сотруднику отеля Andrew! Заранее обсудили все моменты возможных активностей. Andrew всегда был на связи и помогал по любому вопросу! Для собственника отеля это очень клиентоориентированный сотрудник!

Pros:

Очень приятный отель! Обслуживание пятизвездочное! В некоторых вопросах отель идет навстречу, чему мы были очень благодарны. Вид просто шикарный с балкона. Самая просторная ванная комната из всех отелей. В ресторане советую попробовать Том-ям, очень вкусный. Завтраки очень хорошие

Отличный отель. Мы в восторге. Вы можете наблюдать за слониками прям с балкона своей комнаты. Комнаты большие, современная ванная комната, вкусные завтраки. За такую цену the best

Pros:

Nous avons été surclassés à l’hôtel éléphant Park juste en face. C’était incroyable ! Vue direct sur le bain des éléphants le matin, de la chambre ou de la piscine. Lits très confortables et propres 😍

Cons:

Assez difficile à trouver en arrivant en voiture par nos propres moyens (mauvaises localisation sur Google Maps)
