Elysia Beach Resort is a beautiful spot, though our experience was somewhat marred by unexpected issues during check-in and service. The rooms are clean and have decent amenities, but could use clearer communication about policies. The location is fantastic, close to whale shark tours, but dining options left a bit to be desired. Overall, it's a tranquil escape but not without its drawbacks.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were clean and simple, providing a comfortable retreat facing the pool. The staff truly made a difference with their warm hospitality and willingness to help with anything we needed. The location is great for accessing whale shark tours, but the dining experience could use some improvement as the restaurant service was quite slow at times. Overall, it's a peaceful getaway with plenty of enjoyable amenities.

My stay at Elysia Beach Resort had its ups and downs. The location was beautiful with a lovely beach view and hammocks. However, the experience was marred by unexpected policies and communication issues with management. The facilities and pool were decent, but the service could have been more accommodating considering our family's needs.

The resort offered a variety of amenities, making it a great spot for a relaxing getaway. While the rooms could use a bit of a refresh and are quite basic, the staff and overall atmosphere were wonderful. The dining experience was generally positive with reasonably priced meals. The location, being a short walk from the dive centers, added to the charm as well, even though it could get busy at times with tourist activities.

My stay at Elysia Beach Resort was a mix of highlights and challenges. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, and the grounds were absolutely stunning. However, the dining options fell a bit short of expectations, and there were some policy misunderstandings that created discomfort during my stay.
