Really good Dining Experience

I had an amazing dining experience at The Elandra. The food was imaginative and beautifully presented. The wagyu special was absolutely to die for, while my partner enjoyed the peri peri chicken, which was also fantastic. Every meal was packed with fresh ingredients that truly delighted our taste buds. The restaurant's view from our table added to the magic of the evening.

Stunning Sea View Room

My stay in room 102 was very nice! The room itself was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The views of the ocean and the nearby islands made every moment magical. I loved the attention to detail in the room, especially the great toiletries and fluffy towels. It felt like a luxurious getaway.

Gorgeous Poolside Relaxation

The resort pool was one of my favorite spots to unwind. The surroundings were tropical and inviting, and the view from the pool was just amazing. I spent my afternoons lounging by the water and sipping on fresh cocktails. The overall atmosphere created the perfect place to relax and escape.

Convenient and Accessible Parking

Upon arrival, I found the guest parking to be very convenient. Despite the lush surroundings, I was impressed by how accessible the parking was to the lobby and my room. It made moving my luggage a breeze and set a positive tone for my stay right from the start.
