This is a hotel with a swimming pool on Don Juico Avenue in Angeles. It opened in 1994 and has been in business for more than 30 years. It uses the elephant as its symbol, with elephant sculptures placed around the lobby and the pool. Blog posts from 2019 to 2025 describe it as a German-run hotel.
The heart of the hotel is the outdoor pool surrounded by palm trees. It is well maintained, and many reviews say it feels like a resort in the middle of the city. Several reviews also say it's a nice place to relax with a beer in front of a pool-view room or at a table by the water. However, several reviews point out that the pool is quite deep and has no depth markings. If you're with a child, it's best to keep a close eye on them. Reviews also consistently mention that the staff are cheerful and friendly.
The restaurant right next to the pool draws guests who aren't staying at the hotel too. Many reviews say the Western food, such as steak, sausages, and pizza, is delicious. The menu is wide, and some reviews mention Korean dishes like kimchi fried rice and ramyeon (instant noodles). Prices are a little on the high side, but reviews also say the portions are generous. The hotel has an ATM and a hair salon.
The rooms are on the spacious side. However, many reviews say the building and facilities are old, so you may be disappointed if you expect something modern. Several reviews say you can hear motorbikes all night in rooms facing the main road, so many recommend a room on the pool side. On the other hand, some reviews say that rooms right next to the pool may pick up noise from the terrace guests. Some rooms have a balcony connected to the next room, so there are comments advising you to lock the balcony door securely.
Among the 2026 reviews, there are posts from guests who ran into trouble at check-in with a limit on the number of people per room, extra charges for an upgrade, and a missing reservation. It's a good idea to check your booking details before you visit. Several reviews say that booking directly with the hotel was cheaper than booking through a reservation site. Some reviews also say that having a Korean manager made it easy to ask about reservations and discounts.
According to Google Maps, there is a parking lot and an entrance that are wheelchair accessible. However, one review says parking space is limited and cars park on a first-come, first-served basis. A 7-Eleven is about 50 m away, and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is about 150 m away. Barbie Pool Villa, which is registered on SeeQee, is about 350 m away, and R&B Music Venue is about 400 m away. You can make reservations or inquiries by phone, through the website, or on Facebook.
