I had a mixed experience at Elysia Beach Resort. While the beachfront is absolutely stunning and the bamboo cottages are charming, the staff's service left much to be desired, particularly regarding payment and room arrangements. The cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations were decent, but the limitations on room occupancy without prior notice were frustrating. If you want beautiful views and a peaceful setting, this could be a nice spot, but be prepared for some surprises.
