Not a good stay, go somewhere else

Cancelled our other hotel last minute to get this one because it had a pool and AC. Big mistake, didn't have a pleasant stay. + location is good, short walk to the Lonely beach, 7-elevens, Makro food and Night foodmarket + had lovely family owned, cheap restaurant right next to the resort + free billiard table +pool was ok, even though really small and shallow - area wasnt nice, little pattya street was nearby - middle-aged men with their thai-girlfriends, felt like staying in some kind of dodgy motel - older people staying there, for travellers aged 26 and 28 wasn't a pleasant environment - didnt have ANY water for 2 days without anyone notifying about it - overall feeling not good

Till detta pris ett bra boende

Bra ställe med tanke på vad man betalar för. Renligheten helt okej, finns ett par ställen där man enkelt hade kunnat dra med en trasa för ännu mer fräschhet. Sängen var helt okej den också, kuddarna höga som berg och även samma hårdhet som berg. Som helhet en bra och billig resort nära allt i White Sand Beach.

In general nice, bathrooms can be improved.

We stayed at white elephant resort for 5 nights, first 3 nights in room7, the showerhead is a bit broken so the water was going everywhere in the bathroom, the other 2 nights we stayed in room11, the room is better in our options, but one night we ran out of water, however it was fixed by the morning. The beds were very comfy in both rooms, the rooms are clean, the outdoor pool is nice, and the staffs are friendly. The resort has its own restaurant, if you stay at the hotel you can get 10% discount on food, you can also have food delivery service to your room. In general we had a good experience with this resort, just the bathrooms can be improved.

Dejligt hotel.

Hotellet overraskede meget positivt. Flot lille pool. Vi havde intet problem med at få liggestole der. Meget lækker bungalow, både indvendig og udvendig. Man skal gå 10-15 minutter til stranden. Der er Poolbord, men mange af kuglerne var der ikke. Hyggeligt bord udenfor bungalowen, hvor man kan sidde og nyde aftenen. Varmt vand i bruseren. Der ligger to gode sportsbarer ved siden af. Kommer meget gerne tilbage til hotellet.

Nicht Top, aber auch nicht Flop

Die Bungalows sind ein wenig klein geraten aber ok. Sauberer Pool. Zum Strand sind es gute zehn Minuten zu laufen. Also machbar. Es hat ein paar Restaurants in der Ungebung. Zum Zentrum läuft man aber schon 15 Minuten. Dafür ist das Vergnügungsviertel (einige Bars) in 5 Minuten erreichbar.

Disliked: Staff & service
You get what you pay for and this was average in most things but not expensive so no problem. The only downside was the service in the bar/restaurant in the evenings which was awful. Staff either go missing or are playing on their phones. At one stage i had to go the bar myself and ask the lady for a drink who then went to locate a member of staff? That said the food/drinks were ok and the prices reasonable

Trotz doppelter Bestätigung durch hotels.com mussten wir bei Ankunft um 20 Uhr erfahren, dass das Zimmer doppelt gebucht wurde. Ein Umbuchung in ein anderes Hotel wurde durchgeführt jedoch mit weniger Leistungen (kein Pool, 5min weiter von Strand und Geschäften weg). Es wurde finanziell keine Differenz erstattet. Sehr enttäuschend.

smelly and dirty bathrooms

I didn't like this place. We literally took just a nap at the Monkey Nap hostel and left. It was very cheap, but the room we were in smelled like Bengay or IcyHot cream. Someone had doused themselves in it. The bathrooms were not kept clean either, toilets were dirty. This place was a bit hard to find, on a small side road. I recommend other hostels in the area.
