“Elysia Beach Resort strikes me as a restful place; the thoughtful design offers a real sense of privacy. Its proximity to the whale shark center is a clear advantage, but I imagine one could happily spend the day by the pool overlooking the beach. I think its smaller size allows for the kind of attentive service that makes a stay genuinely memorable.”
