Wonderful stay! The bungalows are comfortable, the food is great, the personnel really couldn’t be any nicer, and the hotel is on the frontline of the sea within a short walk to the whale shark watching centre. The staff are amazing!

Room was great, pool was great, no whale sharks but drinks and food super cheap and really nice. American breakfast was great as where the cheese burgers. Such a quite sleepy place, great place to unpack. Would stay again. One thing though. The shower you have to run around in it to get wet, seriously needs to be looked at.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
