"Perfect and will definitely recommend and return in the near future."

9.0

Our entire stay was perfect especially given that our booking was made on the last minute. The staff attended to every request that we had and was always freindly. Our room was always neat, tidy and smelling clean (huge preference for me personally).

There was nothing that we didn't like. Premises is safe and secure. Would not change a thing.

The accommodation is amazing - room is lovely and the views are incredible. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Very disappointing evening meal. This was not the same standard as the quality of accommodation.

We had to travel to another destination early in the morning, and the friendly staff of Elephant Hide packed a breakfast box for me and my wife. Special mention needs to be made to John who received us friendly and made special arrangements for our honeymoon.

John, our host was so pleasant and helpful. What a wonderful man with a great smile. Went the extra mile and make our stay all the more enjoyable. Breakfast was very tasty, well presented and they are very accommodating to swop things around. Excellent cappuccino. The ambiance of the dining room is wonderful, peaceful and the music is so soothing. Coupled with a wonderful view of the lagoon makes it such an enjoyable experience.

Nothing really.
