A special place to visit. Definitely felt like a once in a life experience walking with elephants. If you're looking for e resort for unlimited drinks and party music, this is not it. This is more for relaxation, tranquility and privacy. I took Muay Thai lesson with Noom and he was great.

The staff and stay was fantastic! The elephants seemed a bit bored and it felt like they needed more time spent or less…I’m not sure. For the price the stay and space was exquisite. I’m not sure what to feel about the elephants and the treatment of them.

Anantara- an exquisite, relaxing experience!

The Anantara is not to be missed if you can get there. We had a fantastic time enjoying the property and all it has to offer. The hotel is decorated exotically so you feel you should be exactly where you are with images or sculptures of elephants surrounding you. The food is great, the staff very kind and courteous. The caprahina (although not traditional Thai) is the best I have ever had! What a great way to start the evening after a day of mahout training...by the pool overlooking LAOS while having a fabulous cocktail. We will be back!

For dyrt og for slidt

Alt for dyrt for et hotel, som er meget slidt af vejrlig med tropisk regn og fugt! Maden og personalet upåklageligt, men man ser kun 2 elefanter i 30 minutter under hele opholdet. Billederne ligner ikke virkeligheden eller Anantaras normale standard - hotellet er forøvrigt solgt til en ny hotelgruppe…

Confesso que esperava muito mais da estrutura do hotel, quando olhamos as fotos do hotel aqui no hotéis.com parece ser um hotel com muito verde (fechado), e tem algumas fotos que não são do hotel, e sim fora que eles usam tambem. Achei a área verde do hotel feia, a vista do nosso quarto era pra horta e tinha bastante terra. O atendimento é bom, são muito atenciosos. Quanto a experiência com os elefantes, pra gente foi decepcionante, primeiro que eles ficam pedindo pros elefantes fazer coisas que treinaram pra fazer (abaixa, levante), o que não acho natural e eles permitem montar nos elefantes que também não acho correto para um santuário.

Absolute perfection in the Golden Triangle

Our stay at Anantara's Golden Triangle Resort was perfection from start to finish. The property is stunning, set in a huge jungle expanse with elephants roaming (talk about a room with a view)! Our suite was a major wow - the views of course, but the amenities were thoughtful and they provided everything we could have needed + more. Service was fabulous - attentive and gracious without being overbearing, which I find the perfect balance. We had one daily activity included and the activities are just SUCH a highlight. We did the Elephant Learning Experience and Walking with Giants tours and I'd highly recommend both for those wanting to interact with elephants! Lastly, the food. Food in an all-inclusive experience could easily be average but we found the food - quality and variety - really impressive. The breakfast spread was fabulous and included both Western and local options. Dinner offered a choice of a Thai or Italian restaurant - we did Thai all of our nights and loved everything. Wonderful resort from start to finish. We hope to return and bring family!

Sehr überteuert, mittelmässige Elefantenevents

Wunderbar im Grünen gelegen, viel zu teuer für die gebotenen Leistungen, wenig direkte Interaktion mit den Elefanten möglich, die mehr zur Unterhaltung der Gäste dienen anstatt vor allem zur Vermittlung von Wissen und Respekt. Dementsprechend wird leider auch Reiten angeboten. Die Stunde mit der deutschen Wissenschaftlerin war spannend. Im Restaurant hoher Lärmpegel, am Buffet waren die meisten Speisen höchstens lauwarm. Im kleinen italienischen Lokal (wenige Plätze) waren das Essen und der Service ausgezeichnet.

The best vacation we have ever taken!

I am still talking about this experience 6 months later. This is a lovely, comfortable hotel with a beautiful pool. The staff does a good job taking care of you but the highlight was the interaction with the elephants and their mahouts. Most people come here for a night, ride the elephants and leave. We did every elephant activity they had and it was equally as good as the 5 safari's we've done in Africa! The difference is that you learn about the elephants and their personalities and really get to interact with them. Yes, it's expensive and there are cheaper ways to have a similar experience but if you want a pampering vacation with wonderful animals in a really beautiful setting- this is a fantastic , special place to visit.

Un ambiente dove gli elefanti sono rispettati

Questo è' un vero centro di riabilitazione di elefanti sfruttati , abbandonati e maltrattati . Fanno un lavoro leggerissimo , vengono rispettati ed accuditi con cura . Quello che voi pagate , che vi può sembrare costoso , non è' solo per la camera e per la pensione completa di tutto , vini a scelta inclusi, ma sopratutto per la cura di 22 elefanti con i loro allenatori, che vivono nelle zone vicine al resort con le famiglie

I can't say enough good things about the Anantara Golden Triangle. If you can afford it, then stay here! We loved everything about it. The staff is amazing, the setting is magical, and the activites are perfect. Add an incredible insight in to elephants and it was a place to remember. Loved it, Jay

Wonderful Short Getaway!

The Anantara Golden Triangle was absolutely awesome. We had a wonderful time... the hotel was superb and the staff were very friendly. We primarily went for the elephant camp (which was great and was well worth the trip), but we were pleasantly surprised by the rest of the experience, which put the whole experience over the top. We ended up doing the Mahout Training, which we great. The camp had an Australian intern studying to be a zookeeper, which added wonderful context to the whole thing. Hopefully, they regularly have students there to help out. Some of the Mahouts speak english, but many do not (apparently, the sanctuary "rescues" the mahouts, as well as the elephants, because the mahout has devoted most of his life to the elephant, so when the elephant is rescued and goes to the sanctuary, if the mahout didn't also go, he would be left to a very tough existence), but they were still very nice and warm. We also did the cooking class, which we thought was wonderful and Por (the teaching chef) was wonderful and energetic. The only negatives to the whole trip were (1) I definitely gained a couple pounds from delightful food, and (2) we spent our time at Anantara at the beginning of a couple weeks in Asia and it ruined our expectations for the rest of the trip (as it will be hard for any place to live up to it). Overall, I highly recommend it and it is definitely worth its premium price.
