Pros:

Tutti i ragazzi dello staff sono super gentili e il cibo è davvero incredibile. Il silenzio e la pace regnano sovrani.

Cons:

Mi spiace dover scrivere delle cose negative ma purtroppo le aspettative erano un po' diverse da ciò che abbiamo vissuto. Non capisco perché il resort si definisca di lusso, perché purtroppo non lo è. Le stanze sono abbastanza piccole e non lussuose, più rustiche/capanne. La struttura andrebbe un po' rimessa a posto.
Lo staff, seppur gentile e disponibile, è molto giovane e moooolto inesperto. Si vede che non sono professionisti del settore ma spesso alla prima esperienza lavorativa. La comunicazione fra loro non è eccellente.
I trasporti sono costosissimi, bisogna considerare almeno altri 400-500 EUR. Gli alcolici non sono inclusi, il che ovviamente rende la vacanza "meno" vacanza. Anche le escursioni sono molto costose.
Diciamo che pagando quasi 1000 EUR a notte (escursioni e trasporti a parte), ci si aspetta molto altro.

Wir haben das Beste draus gemacht
Pros:

Vorort hat das Personal alles erdenklich möglich gemacht, die negativen Aspekte wurde dadurch leider nicht ausgeglichen
Ich würde nicht wieder dort hin wollen

Cons:

Ein Hinweis auf die sehr sehr teuren Transfer wäre hilfreich gewesen dann hätten wir nicht gebucht .

Das man nicht im Meer schwimmen kann ohne Anzug

Good food, drinks and access to spa and optional trips. Everything taken care of and your own villa means it’s quiet and not too many guests at once.

Cons:

Nothing

An island getaway is a wonderful thing, but Elysian, you can do better.
Pros:

The location is quiet island perfection

Cons:

The cabin was a bit basic and worn. If this was located anywhere else, it would be not be considered luxurious.
The set meal times were quite limiting, particularly breakfast and coffee being served only from 8.30am.

Idyllic stay at beautiful little resort
Pros:

Amazing idyllic location, wonderful friendly staff, exceptional food tailored to our needs, peaceful and relaxing, kayaks and paddleboats for use at not cost - lots of turtles in the water! Loved it.

Cons:

No real complaints - if the pool was heated in winter that would be amazing, but that’s a bit much to ask!

10/10 says it all - would highly recommend a stay here
Pros:

Secluded and small retreat. The service was relaxed, personal and exceptional. The food was delicious and healthy but you had plenty to eat. Honestly such a wonderful experience overall.

Cons:

There’s no gym - a small fitness centre would be a great addition. This wasn’t a huge downside and not everyone wants to work out as it’s such a lovely place to relax but I had to pick something.

Pros:

We absolutely loved our short-stay (too short) at Elysian. Everything was just perfect. The private island is so peaceful and tranquil. The activities available are plentiful and nature oriented. The food is just divine - every meal was beautifully prepared with the freshest ingredients and meant we did not have to worry about a thing. The cherry on top is the service - each staff member (Alice, Emily, and Nathan in particular) was delightful and attentive, and would do everything in their power to make our stay even more special. We cannot recommend Elysian more highly - we will definitely be coming back!

Pros:

Amazing service! Very secluded! Peaceful! Need to book transport to get to the island beside the resort! It needs to be booked separately!
