" ElefanThai is a great spot for a romantic dinner. The decor is stunning! They offer fantastic views of the lagoon from your restaurant table, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Food was tasty, although I felt some of the dishes didn’t truly capture authentic flavors. I had the chicken satay and tried their yellow curry, which were both enjoyable. My main issue was the small portion sizes; they left me a bit unsatisfied. Regardless, I would recommend it for its ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our dining experience at ElefanThai! The food was explosively flavorful, from the masaman curry to the best Tom Yum soup I've ever tasted. The staff was extremely friendly and catered to our every need. The setting by the lagoon was scenic and breathtaking. We made sure to reserve a table by the water, and it was totally worth it! My only feedback would be to possibly expand the vegetarian menu selection. Nonetheless, a top-notch dining experience that I would repeat anytime! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried ElefanThai to celebrate my birthday! The lagoon view was romantic, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. The variety in the menu is impressive as well. I indulged in several Thai dishes and some Indian options, finding most of them excellently prepared with vibrant flavors. Service was warm and welcoming; my only complaint would be that the portions were smaller than expected. Overall, I had a great time and will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this restaurant due to a friend's suggestion, and I have to say it did not disappoint! The decor is enchanting, and I felt like I was in a tropical paradise. The food was delicious, especially the paneer tikka, which was very flavorful. However, the portion sizes left me wanting – I had to order multiple dishes to satisfy my appetite. The service was attentive, and our waiter made sure we enjoyed our meal. Would come back for the atmosphere and to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" ElefanThai was everything we hoped for and more! The atmosphere was romantic and serene. Sitting right over the water changed the entire dining experience for us. My husband and I had a mix of both Thai and Indian dishes. While I found the Thai green curry delightful, he absolutely raved about the lamb curry. The portions, however, were a bit smaller than expected, leaving us yearning for more. Service was quick, and our waiter even offered us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was such a sweet touch! I'll definitely recommend this place to all my friends traveling to Cancun. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had a marvelous time at ElefanThai! We had a splendid table overlooking the lagoon, and our meals were delicious! The Indian dishes we tried were simply superb. Service was very attentive, and they took great care of us during our meal. The only bump was the portion sizes; we definitely could have left more satisfied. I will surely recommend this place to others visiting Cancun. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I enjoyed ElefanThai, I have some mixed feelings. The atmosphere is beautiful and sets a very nice scene for a romantic dinner, however, the authenticity of the dishes didn’t quite hold up to my expectations. My Pad Thai wasn’t very flavorful compared to others I've had, and the service could have been a bit faster. Still, I commend the fusion concept of the menu; it allows for a unique dining experience. I may consider visiting again, but I would likely focus on the Indian menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)
