Disliked: Staff & service
Hôtel très bruyant et cloisons très fines. On partage un peu trop la vie de la chambre voisine....Bon restaurant chinois en face. Attention, il y a une erreur sur le site Hotels.com : The Happy Elephant Resort et le Resort Happy Elephant sont le même hôtel. Or, sur le site ils sont positionnés différemment.

In need of refurbishment
The rooms are in serious need of refurbishment. The locks on the door aren’t fit for purpose. I won’t be returning again. Far superior places nearby for less.

Good
The front desk girl was very helpful because we went there earlier and she help us to check in. But when she led us to the room which stated as premier room, it's too close to the main door & street. We requested for a quiet room when booked so we asked if another room available, she said no this type whereas only cheaper one is available. Although we paid for more, we choose the cheaper one finally after visiting. it's really quieter. On the whole this little resort is good.

Ok Hotel.
The room was ok, not very big but all I needed. The problems I had was 1, the bed needed a new mattress. It's was sunken on one side, so when you slept on it your body was bending/dipping ! 2, I booked through Hotels.com. I booked a standard room with breakfast. But when I got there they told me a standard room doesn't come with breakfast. I showed them my paper work and said ok. I didn't feel right having breakfast there after that.

Near to Rawai
We moved from the basic accommodation (as advertised) because the room facilities were inadequate and paid 1000 baht more to a better room.

Familiäre, wunderschöne Anlage
Familiär, sehr sehr freundliches, disponibeles Personal. Anlage mit vielen Pflanzen und Palmen, schöner Pool. Gebäude renovationsbedürftig, wird aber per Ende Mai 2016 in Angriff genommen.

Trevligt vistelse
Vi hade bokat ett standardrum vilket var jätte litet.vi fick dock uppgradera rumet till ett bättre och betalade mellanskilnaden. Frukosten var ensidig men okej. Personalen var jätte snälla,trevliga,hjälpsamma och mötte oss alltid med gott leende. Mycket bra bemötande. Det finns en massagesalong mittemot hotellt, rekomenderar värmt. Även restaurangen mittemot är värt att besöka, god mat, bra priser och trevligt bemötande.

Familjär atmosfär
Trevlig personal som gav hotellet en familjär atmosfär. Personalen talar även skaplig engelska. Promenadavstånd till flera thaiboxningsgym, och till Nai Harn-stranden är det cirka tio minuters färd med moped.

fragwürdiger Kundenstamm
Unser Aufenthalt dauerte nur 3 Tage.Die Anlage ist schön,sauber,die Villen ansprechend rund um den sauberen Pool.Das zum Positiven. Allerdings mussten wir innerhalb dieser 3 Tage umziehen,das war sehr ärgerlich. Die Anlage ist anscheinend im Monat Nov/Dec hoch frequentiert von französischen Stammkunden niedersten Niveaus.Wir waren froh wieder weg zu sein...

EDUARD, Saint-Petersburg, Russia

very nice if you live near the pool!
very kind staff. They cooked for us srimps. No toiletries were included, but they gave me a good soap. pool is deep- so no kids, very quiet atmosphere, squirrels, butterflies and refreshing water in the night. beautiful, natural and intimate place for swiming (turn to Laem Ka seafood restaurant - behind the stones at left,and another beach: turn near the 7/11 and go right behind the stones)
