Hotels near Elephants Trail Phuket @Elephant Beach, Phuket

We were greeted warmly at the hotel reception area which looks out to the amazing swimming pool that envelopes the entire resort. Due to the extra documentation required, checking in will naturally be longer than usual. Fingers crossed you will not get a queue in front of you when you step into the hotel :) The room assigned to us was lovely even though it was the lead in category room. It was spacious enough for 2 persons, and everything looked brand new as the hotel was built in 2020. We tried to request for an upgrade but due to their high occupancy, they were unable to upgrade us. However, they more than compensated by sending a birthday cake plus complimentary birthday cocktails for us, as we were both celebrating our birthdays in Phuket. The buffet breakfast was the highlight of our stay. Every morning, despite how tired we were, we dragged ourselves to the restaurant, spent like 2-3 hours going through the selections and savoring everything they have to offer. I cannot believe they also provide items like crepes, ice cream, parma ham and different curries for breakfast as they are not typical breakfast dishes. I was very impressed. The services from the hotel staff exceeded our expectations. We tried to tip as much as we could, seeing that the service industry has taken a big hit during the pandemic for a place like Phuket. They were all really appreciative. Special shout out to Benoit, the Director of Sales/Operations for the hotel. He was very patient, friendly, professional and went above and beyond to ensure everything works out smoothly prior to our arrival. Thank you once again Ben, you have definitely helped made this trip a very memorable one for the both of us. Seeing that the restrictions are slowly lifted by the Thai government, please take a leap of faith and take that long awaited vacation in the land of smiles :-D Happy vacationing and stay safe everyone!

I'm pretty used to travelling and staying in hotels, having high expectations. I knew this wouldn't be luxury because of the price. When you island hop, luxury isn't always something you crave. However this hotel was excellent for our needs. Clean, comfortable, good beds, powerful shower, excellent air con, but more than that, the staff were exceptional! Made our stay so much fun, nothing was too much for them to do for you! Fun, kind, very helpful and humble. Can't wait to go back and see them all again, I left feeling like I was leaving family. Please go an experience this hotel if you're in Phuket!

I like the hotel which is not too far from tourist areas, convenient for foods which are walking distance. However, the wifi is not stable, it keep broken off, and need to reconnect. The speed is not up to my expectation.

Paper-thin wall. You can literally hear everything your next door neighbor says. Also everything the cleaner/housekeeper says when they are cleaning the corridor. No hair dryer and no Hair towel. Only large towels are provided. Check-in and check out process took a long time even though there was no queque. The reception took her time and was distracted by this and that instead of finishing one task at a time. I was kept standing and waiting. Swimming pool has a bar, but everytime I went there is no staff.

Great place to stay, pool was really nice, room was huge and spotless, Staff were very welcoming and friendly if you are looking for access to beaches go elsewhere. Outstanding value for money. Lots of street food near by and the hotel restaurant was very good, its also a 3 minute stroll from a huge Big C supermarket. Would definitely stay again. The bed was a bit on the hard side but as I was using the hotel to get over jet lag for a couple of nights it was not really an issue, so nothing bad to say

Stayed for 8 nights in this hotel with my wife. Excellent hotel overall. Very clean indeed, staff very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They open doors for you as you enter reception, take you bags to your room, help sort car / moped hire etc, The room was very clean and well appointed. Bath and beach towels are provided and they change these as frequently a you need. They also provide all the usual essentials including shower gel, shampoo, toilet paper, bottled water every day. Kettle, hob, large sink and basic utensils, glasses, cups etc were all provided. Also an iron and ironing board as well as a clothes drying stand. The big kitchen sink is easily bug enough to do clothes washing in. Room service was excellent each day. Balcony size on normal rooms was slightly small, especially as was shared with two large air conditioning units (all balconies appear the same) so this made the balcony cramped, noisy and hot when air conditioning was on. Breakfast was provided in the adjoining restaurant. This was excellent offering fresh hot and cold food, eggs made to your liking (fried, scrambled, omelettes, etc), bacon, sausages, fruit, bread, croissants, etc etc. Seemed to have everything included plentiful supply of juices, coffee, tea, etc. Most things self-service but the staff were on hand to help and to clear used dished. The location of the hotel means it is a 15 minute to the beach and 15 minutes to the main restaurant area known as Boat Avenue. Fortunately the hotel runs a shuttle bus service twice an hour to both locations and back until 9.10pm. Would be nice if slightly later coming back from Boat Avenue, but taxis and tuk-tuks were on hand although these aren't the cheapest. The main local beach is Bang Tao beach. This is lovely. Very clean (as everywhere seems to be here), soft white sand, gentle shelving into the water with no stones or rocks. Shame about sea lice the bite / sting in the water but they are everywhere in this part of the world depending on time of year and they are a very minor irritation. Also good availability of sun-beds as well as beverages from the beach shacks. Lots of fresh water showers and there is parking next to the beach as well as toilets. Boat Avenue has plenty of nice restaurants - see my other reviews if you want to see where we went and what we thoughts. Lots to choose from. Most restaurants seem to slow down food service after 9.30pm and this is not a clubby resort. Was just right for us though as there were plenty of bars and some with live music (check out The Mexican bar and restaurant). Wine is not cheap here and starts around £30 a bottle - although some could be found around £25. We stuck to beer with dinner. There is also a handy large supermarket selling everything you could need and is right by taxi station and open until 10pm. Final top tip about this area is to visit on a Friday night if you can as the street market is great with street food and live music. Easy to hire cars and

Rooms are specious and clean, nothing special from a design or quality perspective, but nice enough to sleep and rest there. There is a lot of facilities, big gym, games room, swiming pool is not the cleanest to be honest, but still can be used. Stuff is friendly and restaurant got good pizza.

Receptionist was friendly and welcoming. Buffet breakfast had a variety, i enjoyed very much. Location is great, next to local market, walkable distance to airport bus terminal and city. Thank you very much.

Wanted to watch the AFL when in the area and didn't want to try get into the busy areas of Cherngtalay. De Sports Bar I have driven past many times at Tour De Phuket Hotel but not stopped. This is a great Sports Bar! I am really happy we did enjoyed lunch and the footy. Clean, plenty of TVs, friendly staff and a good variety of drinks on tap, bottled and spirits. Good all day menu, we had pizza and Salmon Lunch and was very good, fresh, fast and good size. Recommend

Our stay was very short as we just needed a place close to the airport but we were not disappointed. The hotel is very close to the airport, and they have a free shuttle that run within specific times. They also have a free shuttle to the beach and shuttles to get you around the property.
