The Ellysian was a fantastic stay for our family of 4. It is a great location - beachfront and a nice enough deep pool. The staff are exceptional - super friendly and helpful. They really stood out as soooooo nice! The location is great - walk to everything. The room was also very clean and appointed well with plenty of towels, fridge, microwave... even though we brought our own toiletries, my kids loved the hotels shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The restaurant is also quite good. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

We loved our stay. Everything was wonderful from the view to the accommodations. The staff is AMAZING! Vanessa was our favorite as we spent the most time with her. We loved our personalized notes each night as well. The only negative is that the huge balcony only had a small sofa type bench to utilize. Would have loved to have a small table and chairs with a couple lounges.

Absolutely lovely spot in the village within walking distance of everything. Gorgeous pool and beach. Exceptional staff. Rooms are posh for sure. Ask for first or second floor as there isn't an elevator but strong folks took care of luggage! Definitely coming back.

The Ellysian Boutique hotel offers excellent location on the beach and in the middle of Placencia quaint village. The hotel manager Chantel and staff were most hospitable and kind. We highly recommend staying at the Ellysian.

It was a very good location. The hotel was quiet and the food was good. The housekeeping was very poor and had to beg to get creamers for my coffee in the morning. The hotel staff really didn't like cleaning the rooms. The equipment for water activities was broken.

Sometimes when you get to a hotel room the photography used to sell the room is far better than the room itself. In this case my expectations were high and room exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly and attentive and we will stay there our next visit. Wesley & Katherine Peterson

It’s the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s new and wonderfully maintained. All staff was super attentive and helpful. They took care of us so well: taxi rides. excursions and everything we needed we got from the personnel of the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, huge bathrooms and balcony. The beach is so nice and private. We miss the Ellysian Boutique already and can’t wait be back one day

This is a clean hotel with some upscale amenities. Although the staff was friendly and accommodating. I was very disappointed in our transportation arrangements and poor communication. During our booking, the representative stated they were official booking agents for mya air and would arrange for our transportation from the international airport to the hotel. I provided my international flight information and my travel companion‘s name and the time of our arrival we were told there would be an additional charge which was agreeable. At no time was I made aware that we would not be flying and rather we would be charged $430 for a three hour car ride from the airport to the hotel. We spent about an hour at the Mayan air counter, trying to find our reservation and then another 20 minutes trying to contact the hotel. Additionally, we did not receive any of our VIP upgrades on booking through Expedia as expected. The rooms are not equipped with coffee makers. There’s no coffee in the lobby and the restaurant was not open during our stay. This makes it very difficult if you have any excursions planned and are leaving early.
