Hotel Elephant Bay

We stayed at the hotel for 1 night. I didn't like the dinner. They don't know how to cook here. The fish was dry, the shrimp were burnt, and the shrimp cocktail had tails. There was a sauce on the menu for the fish, which was not brought. We asked for the sauce and it was the best thing we had at dinner. They don’t make alcoholic cocktails here, but they can pour strong alcohol from bottles into a glass. You can also dilute it with juice yourself. Why you can’t learn how to mix cocktails is a mystery. There was wine and beer here too, but the selection was small. The food problems didn't end there. At breakfast, the girl frying an omelet had her head in the clouds. The oil from the small frying pan was a second away from catching fire. She didn't hear my order at all. When she came to her senses, she poured the unbeaten eggs into the frying pan. It immediately became different from the scramble I asked for. I decided that the fried egg would be fine, and then she started piercing the yolk with a fork. I asked not to do this. Then the cook came up. I said it’s enough to mock the eggs, move them. While they were torturing the frying pan, the second yolk also spread. It seemed to me that these people saw the stove for the first time, and cooking was not their strong point. There is a kettle and refrigerator in the room. I liked the bathroom renovation. The air conditioner was not very cold. There was no internet on WiFi. It wasn't fixed until I went to the reception. There are no adapters in the sockets, so we had to charge everything in the morning when an employee came with a screwdriver and plugged our chargers. The main feature of the hotel was a balcony overlooking the river where the elephants bathe. This is the main advantage of the hotel, along with the swimming pool, from which you can watch the elephants and take photos. There is a spa near the hotel. Don't go there for anything. Nobody speaks English, although the price tag is touristy. They don't know how to do massage. I recommend the hotel if you find somewhere else to eat. We spent so long watching the elephants that we didn’t go to the elephant sanctuary itself.

It’s super nice, the photos are great, the service staff are also very nice, the hotel’s evening buffet is also great, you can also watch the sunset and flying birds from the balcony, perfect score, very quiet ~

Amazing place, great view and clean pool

When you check in, be careful, tuk tukers fit and can behave like hotel employees, stand near the sign, I know everything about check-in time and other nuances They strive to take you to the herbal garden, where, for a commission, you will be shown various spices and plants and goods from them at exorbitant prices, then they take you to buy tickets for elephant riding and so on, rather persistently offering to make an advance. And then they show how to get to the hotel, and it is very difficult to find this turn. Well, according to the classics, they ask for money for their alleged services. The turnoff is across the street from the public tourist car park, this is a very narrow concrete road going down and one turn left. I wrote about the hotel in another review, everything is fine with it, it is still here.
