Hotel Elephant Park

10/10 Excellent
"The elephants were great but we were not told about check in being after 3.00pm and early arrival would have to pay an entrance fee! To add to the confusion the hotel emailed me cancelling my 4 rooms at 2.00pm. When I contacted them, no apology just that it was a mistake!"

10/10 Excellent
"Stree free experience filled with wonderful food, relaxation, and beauty. Every detail of our activities, shopping, and travel was thoughtfully arranged by our hostess, Jennifer, with more care than I would ever take for myself. She took the time to understand our food preferences and prepared delicious breakfasts and dinners using fresh, local produce from the estate. We felt completely pampered and exceptionally well cared for throughout our stay"
