    Would have been nice to have the option to dine separately on New Year’s Eve as opposed to having to sit at a long table with other guests.

    Amazing decor, clean rooms, beautiful food

    Two very small things could’ve made our stay even better There are 10 villas, so 20 guests but only 10 pool loungers… meaning a few days were spent shuffling between pool loungers when they were available, a little awkward. The other thing was simply that we arrived during stinger season, so we would’ve liked to do above water activities. We had kayaks and paddleboards which were great, but a small catamaran or similar could’ve helped make use of the water further

    Stunning location!! Truely a secluded island. The chef prepared delicious meals, catering to requests and preferences willingly. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We loved our stay!

    the hobie cat sailing boat wasn't able to be used and this would have been a wonderful location to sail.

    the food was superb, varied and healthy and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. From the moment we arrived we felt so peaceful and that we were on an island paradise remote from the hustle of other holiday resorts. Did I forget to mention all the whales!!

    Nothing. Everything was perfect.

    Everything was absolutely fantastic! The location, secluded and super relaxing, but with many activities to do if one is a bit more active. The staff which is super lovely, personal and extremely helpful (special mention for the help received when we had issues getting there due to a delay in our plane and for arranging our day trip to Whitehaven). The structure, luxurious even in the smallest details such as the amenities and decors. Really, a true paradise! Could not recommend it more.

    There’s really nothing not to like about Elysian, it’s an amazing resort, If I had to pick hairs, we were asked at 9.10am to check out at 10am due to the hotel being busy with guests arriving which is understandable.

    I absolutely loved our stay at Elysian, everything was perfect. The staff in particular were always going above and beyond, personal customer service. I barely saw my glass empty, very attentive. In particular a big thank you to Lily and Tracey thank you for making our stay so comfortable and making our trip to the Whitsundays come true. The food was incredible, forever changing menu. The helicopter transfer was also a highlight.
