We had room 1 which gave us a lovely sea view and the pool just outside the door. It's a small but cozy resort that has touists experience in mind. So sun beds, places to sit and enjoy the view. A very nice airy and rustic feel dinning room with amazing sea views.

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.

Had an amazing stay. The place was clean, simple, yet so beautiful in its surroundings. The staff were so lovely and attentive, I dont have a single complaint to make about them. The food was delicious and on our check out day iy was raining heavily. They brought us over umbrellas so we could walk to the restaurant. Very close to the whaleshark centre and firefly tours. As well as some restaurants and sari sari stores on the road. If im back in donsol, i would stay here again.

We came here to see whale Sharks and while that didn’t work out we fully enjoyed our stay here at Elysia. It’s walkable to the registration office, right on the beach and has a great pool. The property is well cared for and managed. Rooms are very clean and it’s nice to have a small table and stools inside. Front porch looks over the pool and has a drying rack for clothes. Restaurant serves fabulous food and the staff are all friendly. Should we come back to Donsol we would surely stay again. Salamat!

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.
