The White Elephant Resort is owned by the nearby sports bar of the same name. The resort is a few minutes walk from the beach but for this also means that the rooms are better value for money than many which are closer to the sand.
The Standard and Superior bungalows all have king size beds, ensuite bathroom and air-conditioning. As well as room numbers, the bungalows also have names. These are of characters from old English TV series. ( So you could end up staying in ‘Del Boy’, for example. ) Rooms also have the local cable TV which has 80+ channels although very few are in English. The Superior rooms also feature a small kitchen area.
The centerpiece of the resort is the salt water swimming pool. This has plenty of sunloungers and seating, plus a bar area – making it an ideal place to sunbathe and also socialise in the evening. Guests also receive a 20% discount card for the White Elephant Sports Bar. Although there are plenty of other options for both Thai and western food in the area.
The main downside is that guests mention the resort needs some refurbishment. But overall, for around 1,000 Baht / night an up it’s value for money for anyone looking for an inexpensive base on White Sand beach.
Worth every penny. 😀 - Really liked the cool fresh water pool, no chemicals simply pumps move the water in and out perfectly. Can swim with eyes open. All the birds are everywhere , like a quiet backyard yet steps away from city convenience. You do have to ask for housekeeping for coffee, toilet paper etc. if you stay more than one night

It has potential but needs some serious renovations and a lot more cleaning of both the inside of the apartment and outd 😀 - The location wasn’t bad, a 15 minute walk from white sands centre. Had a nice pool. 😞 - we were very disappointed with this. It wasn’t very clean, and the bungalows needed some serious renovation. There was so many bugs and mosquitos inside as there were gaping holes everywhere and loads of space around the door, ants got into all our bags and clothes and I was bitten alive during the nighttimes. there was mould all over the inside of the fridge. The outdoor area clearly hadn’t been touched in a long time and was very unkept - there was a pool table but looked as though would crumble if you tried to use it. The staff weren’t the friendliest, we had booked a whole week but left 3 days early as it was making us a bit miserable and they wouldn’t give us any refund, didn’t say sorry or even ask how our stay was.
