My wife and I stayed at Elysia for 2 nights in April 2024 with another couple. We had picked the place because of its proximity to the Donsol whale-shark watching, although we ended up doing other things instead while we were there. The resort is clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the food in the restaurant is good. The rooms are very small and simple, with minimum furnishings.

The room was clean but small improvements are required. Basics are missing like a bedside lamp, box of tissues, trash can in sleeping area, small desk. Airconditiong was noisy. The flat sheet was also the blanket which was disappointing. Add a proper light blanket. Need more hooks or shelves for guest's personal items. No kettle or tea/coffee. Need to pave walkway to the restaurant as it was muddy and slippery when wet.

Amazing gem - BRING CASH
Amazing stay! Super value for everything - I may have won the award for most San Miguel consumed in 2 days. Room was very comfortable and clean. Beautiful pool. Lovely beach. Amazing service. Must have the coconut ice cream - best thing. IMPORTANT TIP: bring LOTS of cash. No ATMs anywhere near and everything is cash only.

Great place to swim with whale sharks
We had a great stay, especially for the price, but the power went out a couple times. It would have been more inconvenient if it were during the summer when we needed the a/c. It was very close to the port for swimming with whale sharks with helpful staff, a good restaurant (we loved the shakes), and tour options. The restaurant had reliable internet so a lot of people just used it like a lounge, but there was no internet in the rooms. It's good to know they don't take credit cards, but there is an ATM nearby.

Family trip to Donsol
The place is quiet, clean with staff that were so friendly esp the one in the information area. It is a basic one story rows of rooms surrounding the pool but with easy access to the beach. Not much activity but its great for people who wants to go & swim to see the butanding. The restaurant serves good food but you get sweaty eating as the ceiling fans were not enough to cool you down. Same thing in the room, ac was in the coolest setting with the ceiling fan on the fastest setting (looked so slow to me) so on mid day I was uncomfortably warm. We were there 2 nights in May 20-22 so I guess the weather was really hot & humid. Early morning walk by the sea shore around 5am was cool & enjoyable with hardly anybody around. FYI- no phone to order or call front desk, no hot water for early coffee or tea. However restaurant is open 6am until 9pm.

The resort is really nice, it is located by the beach so it has a lovely breeze all the time. The views are pretty, the room was nice, the bathroom a bit small for two people though but not big deal. The staff was super helpful, always smiling and willing to help. Really good asset! Food is also great and with very good prices. The only thing that we didn't love is the swimming. It is a lovely pool but the water was boiling hot and it wasn't particularly clean. Maybe a bit more maintenance to keep it free of oily water and leaves would help. Other than that, it was a great long weekend!
