Top Elephant Rock Hotel Reviews

Arugambay Roccos

10/10 Excellent

Harmony Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful resort in great location "

Jetwing Kottukal Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous beach view, helpful and attentive staff, quite, clean pool. Would happily recommend "

Hotel Alaskabay Arugambay

8/10 Good

"There was a problem with our reservation as apparently hotels.com bookings do not transfer over to the hotels system and therefore they had no record of our booking. This meant that they did not have the rooms that we had booked available. The hotel owner/manager was very helpful in finding us different rooms but these were not what had been reserved and meant that we had to separate family members which was not ideal for a week. Other than that the breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and beds were comfy. The pool was really nice (although the area around it could be improved) and the location was perfect for access to the beach and restaurants. "
