Delicious Bicol Express!

During my stay, I dined at the resort's restaurant multiple times, and I was particularly impressed with the Bicol express. The flavors were authentic and generous, making our meals both enjoyable and nice. The staff was always attentive which added to the dining experience. Highly recommend trying their smoothies as well!

Comfortable and Clean Rooms

The rooms at Elysia Beach Resort were simple yet comfortable. I appreciated the effective air conditioning system that kept us cool during the hot days. The outdoor drying racks for swimsuits were a thoughtful touch, allowing us to hang our wet clothes right outside. It made my stay very convenient and enjoyable!

Relaxing Pool Area

The pool area was a fantastic place to unwind. It was well-maintained, and I found plenty of seating options around the pool. The hammocks right by the beach were perfect for reading and soaking in the sun. It was a place where I could truly relax and enjoy my surroundings!

Close to Whale Shark Tours

The resort's location allowed for quick and easy access to whale shark tours. I joined a private tour, which was a unique and thrilling experience. We interacted closely with the gentle giants, making it an lovely highlight of my trip. If you're an adventure seeker, this is a must-do!

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.
