Why go, and how to do it well
The name says beach club, but read the reviews and you'll find people talking about bungalows by the pool, fruit baskets on arrival and reception staff who sort out their excursions. That's the honest picture. This is a beachfront resort on Bo Put with a bar attached, not a thumping Chaweng party venue, and if you turn up expecting the latter you'll be in the wrong place.
What comes through again and again is the staff. Guests name them individually, which almost never happens by accident, and several say they extended their stay rather than move on. Rooms get described as clean, spacious and well kept, with housekeeping in daily. Prices sit in the mid range, so it's not a budget bunk but it isn't resort-luxury money either.
For drinkers, the appeal is the hours and the setting. Doors open at 8am and the bar runs to 1am, 2am on Saturdays, so you can drift from an afternoon swim into sundowners and stay put. I'd aim for late afternoon.

Reviews from Google
Me and my husband stayed at elephant beach club for 4 nights and loved it. We were only supposed to stayed for 3 nights however loved it that much we booked an extra night stay and wished we could stay longer but sadly we had a flight that we couldn’t change. All staff were really lovely, helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. The reception team especially were great. We organised excursions through them and were really helpful with recommendations too. Everytime we left the complex or arrived back they greeted us with a smile and asked how we were. The rooms were really nice. A comfortable bed, all the amenities that you require and also spacious. A special mention for the reception WhatsApp service that was really helpful and a nice touch. I wish I could name all the reception staffs names because everyone of them were amazing however another special mention for Ganda, Ploy, Wawa, Sopita and Sunisa. My stay at elephant beach club and resort has been very special and I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody. I will definitely be staying here again myself. Thank you to everyone at elephant beach club for making my trip to samui a pleasure.
We had an amazing stay at elephant beach club and resort Samui. All of the staff were amazing and very helpful. They really are the nicest people. A special mention for the amazing reception staff Ganda, Ploy and Wawa. All other reception staff were amazing too but I cannot remember everybody’s name. Everybody was very friendly and greet you with a smile every day. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and spacious. It smells very good too with wax burners everyday from the cleaning team. The pool area was very nice with again great staff and plenty of sunbeds and seating. Location is perfect for nightlife and of course the beach. I would highly recommend this hotel and will 100% be coming back to stay here again in the future myself. Also a special mention of how flexible management were with allowing us to change our arrival date and check out time at late notice. Thank you to everyone at Elephant Beach Club and Resort. See you again next time.
The rooms are very nice, we had a bungalow near the pool. We were welcomed with a fruit basket in our room, and the service and all the staff were 10/10. We would gladly recommend this hotel to others.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Know the Closing Times
Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.
Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously
Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
Arrange Your Ride Home
Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
