Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Elixir Resort's stunning location and the meticulously maintained beach. Many find the breakfast buffet very good, especially the fresh egg counter and vegetables. The villas are comfortably furnished, even providing beach bags, and while some guests have noted that the pool and sunbeds appear a bit old, the spacious terraces and delicious food, particularly when enjoyed by the beach, make for an unforgettable experience.

private pool fine sunset views beautiful villa

The private pool villa had an idyllic setting right on the beach front. the villa was unbelievably furnished and decorated beautifully. We loved it. the sunsets from the tiki bar were fine and then some thai food at the restaurant was lovely.

The mattress was too firm. This negated all the benefits of the massage.

Acceptable Stay, Improvements Needed

limited breakfast staff communication

I found the breakfast options quite limited. There seemed to be a lack of variety. The staff's English proficiency sometimes made communication challenging. This impacted the efficiency of some requests I made.

big balcony western options plastic bottled water maintenance issues

I stayed in a beautiful villa. It featured a big balcony. Breakfast was good with Asian and Western options. The menu changed every day, so I did not get bored.

The hotel used plastic bottled water. I also noticed some maintenance issues. The issues were not huge, but they were there.
