I had a memorable stay at the hotel with its stunning harbor views and excellent amenities. The staff's attentiveness truly enriched our experience, and the location made exploring the island a breeze. However, the dining options could use improvement, particularly at breakfast. Overall, it felt like a fantastic retreat, especially with the delightful pool area and cozy accommodations.

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. The parking was easy, and the overall value could have been better given the price point.
