In need of refurbishment
The rooms are in serious need of refurbishment. The locks on the door aren’t fit for purpose. I won’t be returning again. Far superior places nearby for less.

Ok Hotel.
The room was ok, not very big but all I needed. The problems I had was 1, the bed needed a new mattress. It's was sunken on one side, so when you slept on it your body was bending/dipping ! 2, I booked through Hotels.com. I booked a standard room with breakfast. But when I got there they told me a standard room doesn't come with breakfast. I showed them my paper work and said ok. I didn't feel right having breakfast there after that.

Near to Rawai
We moved from the basic accommodation (as advertised) because the room facilities were inadequate and paid 1000 baht more to a better room.

Hôtel très bruyant et cloisons très fines. On partage un peu trop la vie de la chambre voisine....Bon restaurant chinois en face. Attention, il y a une erreur sur le site Hotels.com : The Happy Elephant Resort et le Resort Happy Elephant sont le même hôtel. Or, sur le site ils sont positionnés différemment.

Good
The front desk girl was very helpful because we went there earlier and she help us to check in. But when she led us to the room which stated as premier room, it's too close to the main door & street. We requested for a quiet room when booked so we asked if another room available, she said no this type whereas only cheaper one is available. Although we paid for more, we choose the cheaper one finally after visiting. it's really quieter. On the whole this little resort is good.
