    I recently stayed at Elephant Stables for a relaxing getaway and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. The private chalet was even more impressive in person and the service from start to finish was exceptional. The staff, particularly Sumith at the restaurant, were welcoming and struck the perfect balance between friendly and professional. The food was absolutely delicious and the location provided a calm and quiet environment. The breakfast was superb and they even customized the food to meet my preferences. I will definitely be recommending this hotel to my friends and I am already looking forward to my next visit.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    We had an amazing stay at this hidden gem! The value for money was really good and the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location offered amazing views of both sunrise and sunset, surrounded by lush trees. The staff at Elephant Stables was attentive and helpful, making our stay nice.

    The breakfast selection could have been better, with more variety and options to choose from.

    It had such a charming ambiance with beautiful colors and decor throughout. The general areas of the hotel were well-maintained and clean, making it easy for senior people like me to move around comfortably.

    The only thing I would ask for a better vacation for senior people is for the staff to be more attentive and helpful. The children working there seemed a bit indifferent and could improve their attitude towards guests.

    The hotel's decoration was charming and had a cozy feel, with beautiful local artwork and comfortable seating areas. The general areas were well-maintained and had a peaceful ambiance, perfect for senior people seeking relaxation. Additionally, the hotel was easily accessible for us, with well-paved paths and ramps that made it easy to navigate around.

    It would have been even better if there were more activities and amenities specifically designed for senior people.

    This hotel is a great choice for a peaceful and remote escape. the restaurant has an excellent breakfast service, and the food is amazing. We particularly loved the beautiful and spacious chalets. the stunning view of the forests is breathtaking and gives a feeling of total remoteness. the beds are quite comfortable, and the sheets are white and crisp. the staff provides excellent service, and they go the extra mile to make the stay special, like when they prepared a honeymoon surprise for one of the guests.

    The staff could be more attentive and proactive to guests' needs.

    We were blown away by the fine location of the hotel in the midst of lush green forests, away from the busy areas. The staff was really good in terms of service, always willing to help us with anything we needed. The hotel facilities were excellent, especially the pool, perfect for relaxing after a full day of sightseeing and hiking. The breakfast served was a delight, with a wide selection of dishes to choose from.

    Almost perfect, just minor concerns.

    Loved the experience! the food was absolutely amazing and the view from the chalet was breathtaking. the staff was very friendly and accommodating, plus the breakfast had a great variety of options. the room was also very clean and spacious, and the pool was a nice touch. Bonus points for the excellent service at the restaurant, and the proximity to local attractions.

    Although the staff was friendly, I did feel like there was a lack of attention to detail at times. the AC in the room could have been more powerful, and some of the toiletries were not replaced or left open from the previous guests.

The rooms were clean and well-decorated, making me feel comfortable and cozy. the staff was friendly and welcoming, making sure that my stay was comfortable and relaxing. the hotel provided a peaceful atmosphere where I could enjoy the tranquility of nature.

    The decoration of the hotel is absolutely lovely. The vibrant colors and traditional artwork create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The general areas, such as the lounge and dining area, are comfortable and well-maintained, perfect for senior guests to relax and enjoy their time. Additionally, the hotel's accessibility is excellent for senior people, with convenient ramps and elevators to ensure ease of movement.

    The only thing I would ask for a better vacation for senior people is more attentive staff. It would be wonderful if the children working there could be more considerate and provide prompt assistance whenever required.
