Charming resort with friendly staff
Charming little resort with helpful and friendly staff. The beach was not the best, but it was peaceful and calm, and always kept clean. The food was delicious! Janice, the General Manager was very helpful and knows helpful information.

Best hotel in Donsol
This is the best hotel in Donsol! Lovely rooms, which were very clean and had a great outside seating area. The pool was in front of the rooms, with perfect view of the sea and sunset. There are also lots of hammocks, beds and other areas to sit including on the beach front. The restaurant was delicious with lots of options, including for vegetarians. The staff were always friendly and helpful.
The hotel is about a 7 minute walk from the Whale Shark Centre which was also very helpful.
I would 100% recommend that this is the place to stay in Donsol.

Amazing hotel and one of few I would revisit.
I’ve had around 2.500 hotel nights in total and I would probably rank this hotel in my top 3!
Don’t expect much from the room itself, there is what you need, but it’s very simple compared to western standards. But the location and the staff are amazing. The food in the restaurant are really good. At sunset most of the people gather around the beach and watch it set. Also the community in the town is wonderful. Within a few days you start knowing people around town by name a they know you.
It’s not often I go back to the same hotel, but I already know that I’m heading back next year.

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.

Staff was the star of the show here beating out the wonderful facility. Stormy weather dampened the stay but otherwise had a good time. Hopefully will return during sunnier weather.

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.

Kleine Wohneinheiten mit franz. Bett, 2 kleinen Stühlen, kleiner Tisch, Kühlschrank
Wenig Möglichkeiten Sachen abzulegen, man muss alles über den Boden verteilen.
Klimaanlage leider etwas zu laut
Gepflegtes Resort mit durchweg sehr freundlichem und aufmerksamen Personal
Pool war ziemlich trüb (Bakterien), nicht sehr einladend.
Leider wird rundherum immer mal was verbrannt und der Qualm zieht durchs Resort
Transfer zum Flughafen überteuert
