Really good Restaurant Experience

Brant Point Grill truly blew me away! Every meal was a treat—whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the food was consistently delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite because everything was so really good. The atmosphere was perfect for a meal with family or a romantic dinner. I can't wait to come back and indulge again!

Spotless and Spacious Rooms

Our room at the White Elephant was immaculate! It was spacious, beautifully designed, and well-equipped for dining in. I loved the cozy ambiance, and the view was a wonderful surprise! Waking up to such a lovely space made our stay even more enjoyable.

Relaxing Poolside

The pool area was a fantastic retreat. It was quiet and beautifully maintained, with comfortable seating. After a day of exploring the island, lounging by the pool with a refreshing drink was so relaxing. I highly recommend enjoying some time here to recharge.

Kid-Friendly Fun

Traveling with kids can sometimes be challenging, but the White Elephant made it easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of activities for children, and the pool was perfect for families. I loved how accommodating the staff was in helping us find a wonderful sitter for a date night. My kids had a blast and are already asking when we can go back!

My stay at The White Elephant was quite disappointing given the rate I paid. While the island is beautiful, the service I received was unwelcoming and unaccommodating. The room was cozy but felt cramped and didn't quite meet my expectations. The only positives were the shuttle drivers, who were genuinely friendly. I won't be recommending this hotel to others.

The White Elephant Resort in Nantucket is a stunning place that we thoroughly enjoyed. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and came with a lovely fireplace, making our stay feel extra special. The staff provided impeccable service, always going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. On the downside, the pricing is on the higher side, but the overall experience was certainly worth it. Additionally, while the shuttle service was useful, we found it quite enjoyable to walk into town and explore on foot.

My recent stay at the resort was quite mixed. The location was fantastic, very convenient and beautiful, but I encountered some issues with the room and service. While I appreciated the lovely touches for our anniversary, the facilities did not meet my expectations for a luxury experience.
