This is a picture perfect resort . Lovely setting by the sea, clean rooms , nice pool . The service was excellent . THe staff was friendly and took care of all our needs and requests. Food was very delicious and options available for vegeterians as well. Would highly recomend for families.

Wow. Made me want to own the place. Its clean, its simple and its done right. The clean, spacious and minimalist rooms are a great backdrop to the well planned grounds and excellent layout. Great staff and great value place to stay. I would recommend you look no further than this place if youre headed this way. Other resorts around... More

We went here for an overnight stay - just a weekend getaway. The hotel is clean, cozy and with simple amenities. The manager is friendly and approachable. Since we visited here during the off peak season, the hotel was sort of rented and reserved just for ourselves and two Korean female tourists. The pool is nice. A good place to... More

Stayed here last Jan 2012. Loved this resort. This is a great place to relax. Room was good with minimal amenities (no ref, no tv). I didn't mind though cause it was better to stay outside and appreciate nature. We were also very happy because we were able to swim with a whaleshark! :) This was definitely an unforgettable trip.... More

Went to Donsol and stayed at Elysia for a night. Elysia only has few rooms but we liked it very much. It's not a 5-star resort with lots of amenities but for a night, it's the right place to go. There's not much to see at Donsol except for the whale shark, fireflies at night and shrimp catching. So staying... More

Rooms are clean, but VERY minimal amenities, no mini fridge, no place to hang clothes, kept having to ask for towels, bed not so comfortable (but this is normal for small resorts in the... More

Room and washroom/shower were clean. 2 hours away from the city and like Bora its has several beachresorts beside it. You can walk to the Whaleshark Tourist center. has a big pool, Staff are friendly, lounging area by the beach is perfect for watching the sunset.

The Elysia was perfect for our 2 nights stay for whale shark snorkeling and firefly riverboat cruise. Since the whale sharks snorkeling is only in the morning it is great to be able to relax at the pool for the rest of the day since the beach isn't the nicest. We loved Donsol and staying at Elysia it is so... More

We love the owners and the staffs of Elysia! very friendly, accommodating and service oriented :) Food was good too and the location was perfect! Also, they have a pool deck just outside the rooms. This is probably the nicest resort in Donsol :) http://jotan23.blogspot.com/2011/03/6d5n-bicol-itinerary-day-three-firefly.html
