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.

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.

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!

家族で泊まりました。今までの人生で泊まったホテルの中で、いちばん素晴らしく、またすぐにでも泊まりに行きたいホテルです。象との体験、ホテルのツアーでミャンマーやラオスの国境を越えたこと、娘の誕生日にランタンを飛ばしてくれたこと、暖かいスタッフの対応、おいしいお料理にレベルの高いオールインクルーシブの内容。全てが思い出深く子供達にとってもかけがえのない経験になりました。

Fantastic Stay

Fantastic stay in an amazing part of the world! Everything was wonderful and the service was absolutely incredible. One slight issue is the bathrooms are awkwardly designed in the middle of the rooms without true privacy. Other than that couldn't be better

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
