It's not for everyone. It's perfect for me. Truly authentic and a perfectly wonderful rustic living resort with just the right amount of needed touches to add a spark. We loved it so much we are coming back for a month this summer. That should be a true testament. And I am not easy. I could actually imagine living at Elements for a year or more and never be tired of it. Expect a feeling of wildness. Expect to never wear shoes. Go kiteboarding every day and lay on a hammock at the end. Walk alone the beach and visit with local fisherman. Marvel at the surroundings and how pristine and beautiful it is. Eat well. Dream well. And wonder why you ever paid a fortune to stay at resort factories elsewhere in the world. This is NOT the place if you are expecting Dj clad resorts or Aman style pampering (or prices). This IS the place if you want to truly detach and let go. Manage your expectations as to what you are after and you will find a true gem. For kiteboarders, it is one of the best spots I have ever been to. As well, the area is brimming with other spots to explore reasonably by boat (direct from Elements) or by Tuk Tuk. But you will enjoy just right outside the door both a lagoon and the ocean with fantastic conditions. My only suggestion for Kiteboarders is to perhaps bring some of your own gear. The rental kites, boards etc here are adequate but could use a bit of TLC. Do not expect new and cutting edge kites and boards. Lastly, I confess to being reluctant to even post this review. I really don't want anyone else to discover it. But I also can't help but make sure that people understand the specialness of this location and lodge.
