The Forest Elephant - Formerly known as The Flying Elephant

It was a good experience, and all things was awesome.

Hygiene is not maintained, towels were dirty. Lot of power cut, no electricity backup provided for hours. No kitchen, you cannot order food, only limited breakfast is provided. Behavior of reception guy is rude. I will not recommend this place. If you want to be near to kala patthar there are many more options, go with them

Actually have 10years back pictures of that hotel, now it's not a hotel or resort. Please do not book in this hotel There is no restaurant and also wash room is worst taps not working even flesh also not working. Totally worst exp.

Making fool out of customers. No good service in the middle of nowhere. No staff available. Lizards, cockroaches and all kind of insects in the room and bathroom. We got stuck in the room because 4 street dogs were fighting mercilessly in front of the room

The hotel is situated in a relatively quite location and the rooms were beautifully built using environment friendly material while satisfying our basic needs. Had a great experience being one with nature!

First experience is good staff is also good cooperation

This place is located on outskirts and has no restaurant inside and with in the vicinity. No proper transport to this location incase of emergency only our luck pays off. Owner himself doesn't suggest you to stay there. He said it's on your own risk. The worst part is while initial booking they take complete payment and it's non refundable.

Experience was good different and something special in forests 🌳 service was good

Room in the mide of a jungle was better than expected. Very unconventional and also conveniently located next to kalapathar beach which is just a few minutes walk away.

As hotel mentioned sea view property is not situated on seashore it is near by. On the next day morning it rained heavily roof was leaked all my luggage bags were caught wet and starry dogs tried to enter our cottage. Even i complained customer care to cancel for one day as our booking was for two. I again booked another property and left with intimation to customer care. But till now no responsecompletely terribly experience

Electricity supply were not there properly and staff were not so cooperative. After multiple requests they given power backup but most of the time we stayed without electricity. Only one water bottle was given. Later we had to manually go and fill the bottle

Courteous staff. Unclean sheets, towels. No resturant. You will have to eat out or order food delivery at the dhabha on the nearby beach. Beach is just 5 minutes walk

The property gives a feel of jungle resort with wooden and bamboo construction. It's located around 6 km from main town area. The only location advantage is that it's close to kalapathar beach which can offer you sunrise. Now, there is no kitchen and hence lunch and dinner will not be available and so you need to come to main town area for better restaurants. Breakfast was good and was well served. Rooms need bit more maintenance especially toilets. Those who wish to rent out 2 wheeler's, be careful while travel-ling to this property at night as there are lot of stray dogs at night at many locations. Also street lights are not available everywhere and hence need to be careful while riding to this hotel at night after having dinner. There was continuous power failure especially at night and there was no body to attend and start the dg set. Somehow we had managed to wake up caretaker receptionist and he switched on dg set. We had a long negotiation with manager and had to beg them to run the dg set for some more time, to which they agreed to run for 2 hours only. I feel this may be good for solo travelers and couples who want to get a feel of jungle resort. Not recommended for family travelers.

The staff is very courteous and hospitable and is always responsive to fulfill your needs

We loved the ambience of the resort and the fact that it was away from the crowd and very near to kalapathar beach; so it was a very easy access to the beach. Only issue was with arranging transport to the main areas. A must visit resort for people looking out for a different style)

Not good for stay only good thing is if you animal lover then this place having cats and they are friendly
Terrible place to stay there is no power backup no wifi

sleeping in net at paddy cottage just a wow 😲 experience. I will suggest everyone who likes to live near nature must do visit.

The the location of the emerald kikku was very good very near to restaurant radha nagar beach something different and straight to the ferry. They have no food services only breakfast and the services was not good as we have to carry our own baggage to the room because there were no staff member
The place was good but i am writing this review for emerald gecko because instead of flying elephant i got i will dekho which was in vijay nagar this place was very near to radha nagar beach. The place point off this place was that it has private beach and everything was made of wood which was giving a very retro and vintage feeling i enjoyed it thoroughly my stay was successful but only difficulty was there were no staff and things are not so organised they have only one reception person that’s it

It's was an awesome experience, away from all the worries. Typical jungle experience. Services was superb.

It's very nice, calm place to stay. It's an jungle experience (not any flying elephant. Staff are very nice, co-operative. Breakfast was nice. It keeps you away from electronic gadgets which means no network or wifi connection when we stayed (currently when we checked out they were installing wifi. 2 mins walk to kalapathar beach which is good for sunrise. Due to covid they have closed the restaurant what i have been told hence no lunch or dinner available though they will arrange based on order which will come after 1 he, as it is 7 km away from market. Overall it's a nice place to stay.
