The staff at Blue Elephant went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure our stay was a good as possible. The facilities were modern and clean. The town itself had a lovely beach and great restaurants. I could not recommend highly enough.

Fabulous hotel in a beautiful location, the road from the airport is very twisty and narrow in places but worth it . The staff are the friendliest we’ve ever met , nothing is too much trouble, they even charged my cell phone when I couldn’t get it to work! Lovely breakfast and the rooftop restaurant is amazing, great food and ambience. We had massages which were excellent too. I highly recommend this place .

Great getaway!
Great new contemporary hotel! We had a spectacular ocean view from our room 44. The breakfast was awesome with a wide assortment of foods, I would say the best breakfast included with your stay, 10 out of 10!

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel that feels like a spa. Top service all around. Ate at the hotel restaurant twice to change things up. A little pricey but some wonderful plates and chef complementary dishes. Tuna tartar and pork dish were very good. Note that it’s located on a steep hill along with many steps from the pool to the room but we made it our daily workout.
Silvana, 6-night trip

Nice view
Nice hotel with a good view over the sea. Difficult to walk up to the hotel from the sea, take the car, it’s very steep. Good breakfast, but only filter coffee is included. Cleaning personal starts working around 07:30.
Mogens, 4-night trip

It was a very relaxing and beautiful holiday. The hotel complex is top. The surroundings are not too crowded with tourists. It is nice that there are many locals in the village. One felt very comfortable. Thank you
José Luis, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was clean and beautiful with amazing views. My only issue was the private pool wasnt heated and i went later in the season when it would get cold at night. So the water would be freezing maybe it doesnt make a difference if you go in june or july. Outside of that the hotel was amazing and i highly recommend

Prima, maar we zouden geen 2keer gaan. De foto’s van de website kwamen niet geheel overeen met de werkelijkheid omtrent het zicht. Bij sommige kamers kijken de mensen uit het restaurant recht in je kamer.zwembad open tss 10u en 18u savonds.
