My husband even got the chance to brush up on his Thai because the waitress came from the... More

Three of us had different entrees that were outstanding. The setting is like being on a Thai island in a 5 star resort. One of the best restaurants in Cancun, including their sister Indian food restaurant next door in beautiful La Isla outdoor shopping center. More

This is our second visit to Elefanta Thai, last year was our first. The ambience is very impressive, you get your own tiki hut with low red mood lighting. This is one of the reasons we returned. The prices seemed higher this year. I don't know if that is true or just seemed more expensive since we found more reasonably... More

I only tired Pad Thai at this restaurant and can say for sure, it was not an authentic Pad Thai. They added Paneer pieces in place of tofu!! Also, not at all value for money. I wish I could have ordered something else. Ambiance is great, similar to the Elephanta Indian restaurant. This one also has a Dolphin aquarium near... More

The Elefanta Thai & Bar is not far from the Riu Caribe on the north side of the Hotel Zone "7." The curry is some of the best I've had anywhere. The last time I was there was earlier than May 2011, but I don't recall exactly when it was. More

We ate in a hut on the lagoon. The food was delicious -- I loved the green curry and tried it because of a previous review on Trip Advisor. Family of 4 with 2 appetizers, drinks, 4 entrees, 1 dessert w/tip was around $155. We all had leftovers, so ate them for lunch the next day. More

We ate here two nights. The green curry chicken was the best that we have ever had! We love thai food and green curry so this is quite a compliment. We ate in the "tree house". Very quiet, beautiful and romantic. I can't wait to return. More
