My recent trip to Nantucket was an amazing experience. We stayed just shy of a week in one of cottages of The White Elephant. Upon entering the door of the hotel to check in I completely forgot I was a"tourist". The front of the hotel was decorated so beautifully. The staff treated us very warmly and made me feel as... more

My husband and I enjoyed an extremely romantic and relaxing long weekend at the White Elephant recently and I had to share our experience. From the moment we arrived on the island until the moment we left, we felt that our every need was not only cared for but anticipated. We were warmly greeted at the ferry and brought to... more

From the service to the ementities and the location, this was the perfect place for our family vacation. Just steps to children's beach and playground for the kids and a short walk to the restaurants and bars for the adults. This was a vacation my wife and our kids will remember for a long, long time. The pool was outstanding.... more

My husband and I stayed at The White Elephant Residences for our anniversary. We stayed in the 1 bedroom unit and it was exceptional. From check in to check out the level of service was superb. The room was beautiful as were the amenities. Having a fire place on a chilly Autumn night was perfect! We had everything we needed... more

I went to Nantucket in mid-September with my dad, siblings (all in our 30s) and nephew. We read such great reviews and decided this must be the place to stay. It wasn't bad, but not great. We stayed in the Hydrangea Cottage. Just to note, I was with Kokota, who wrote the previous review. PROS *Location location location *Nice clean... more

I liked being close to shopping, local beaches, and dining. We stayed in one of the cottages. It was "New England quaint," and the service was personal and prompt. I liked being away from the main hotel so the kids could roam a bit, but did find an opportunity to enjoy the spa! We all wished the weather was a... more

For $1,000 a night (including taxes), I would describe our stay at the White Elephant as very disappointing. The grounds are beautiful, they provide luxurious bedding, a nice nighttime turn-down service, and it's in an awesome location. The superlatives stop there. When we got in the staff was perfectly pleasant, but gave us no map of the grounds, and a... more

Having stayed at the White Elephant over the years (since 1960's) our recent stay was most disappointing. Our mistake may have ben in expecting the White Elephant to live up to its billing a luxury resort. It is anything but. For a lot of money, you get a musty, damp, dark room, with barely any walking space, unworking shower, very... more
