A beautiful place to stay, just skip the excursions
Elysian Retreat的点评
点评：Elysian was a great place to stay, relax and unwind. We booked 4 nights but I would recommend 7.
The setting is spectacular and feels very secluded. Staff are friendly and were very accommodating with my plans to celebrate my partner’s birthday while we were away, arranging specific champagne, a cake and private dinner.
Days at Elysian are really best spent at the resort. I would suggest skipping the excursions and using your time at the resort to truly wind down - go for a hike, snorkel, kayak, do yoga twice a day (even if you are terrible at it like me!), read by the pool, enjoy the delicious food, get a massage…
The atmosphere at Elysian is welcoming and relaxed, without ever feeling intrusive or anonymous. Every evening canapes are served by the fire where all guests and staff get to interact for half an hour about their day, before you are seated for dinner as couples. It means you get to meet everyone, without being overburdening. Josh, the manager, is personable and makes a big effort with guests, sharing some great stories about the history of the resort. There were several solo travellers too during our stay and I noted the staff gave them particular attention to feel welcome, including sharing meals with them.
The eco credentials of the lodge are very impressive with lots of information around about how they conserve resources and reduce waste.
The rooms themselves were very comfortable, especially the large beds, we had a great sleep every night. Rooms were reasonably spacious and all had tremendous bay views. I’d suggest getting a room with an outdoor shower so you don’t need to wash off sand and swimming gear inside your room. The room with plunge pool probably isn’t worth it for mine as the resort pool is great, as is snorkelling in the bay.
One unfortunate blight was that we booked a whitehaven beach tour for one day and really regretted it: the resort booked us onto a mass tourism trip with 60 other people (Ocean Rafting, based out of Airlie Beach) which really targets the backpacker crowd - i.e. drinking was encouraged from departure, the captain loved doing ‘donuts’ with the speedboat, and the entire boat journey was accompanied by electronic music blaring from the speakers. The worst thing about the tour was it took us away from the resort for an entire day, and was a jarring return to reality from the resort’s secluded bliss. I fed back to management how disappointing the tour was (despite the beautiful destination). They did their best to make amends but I still feel they should have known this isn’t the kind of experience guests staying at Elysian would be looking for.
So while I give this review four stars instead of five, Elysian really is a place where you can have a relaxing luxury experience which is worth the money, if you are fortunate enough to be able to afford it. We hope to go back one day, stay a bit longer, and skip the backpacker tours!

翻译：Elysian 是住宿、放松和休息的好地方。我们预订了 4 晚，但我建议住 7 晚。
环境非常壮观，感觉非常隐蔽。工作人员很友好，非常配合我计划在我们外出期间庆祝我伴侣的生日，安排了特定的香槟、蛋糕和私人晚餐。
在 Elysian 度过的时光最好是在度假村度过。我建议不要参加短途旅行，而是利用在度假村的时间真正放松身心 - 去远足、浮潜、划皮划艇、每天做两次瑜伽（即使你像我一样不擅长！）、在泳池边看书、享受美味的食物、按摩……
Elysian 的氛围热情而轻松，不会让人觉得被打扰或不受欢迎。每天晚上，在壁炉旁供应开胃小菜，所有客人和工作人员都可以在半小时内交流一天的经历，然后你们作为情侣坐下来共进晚餐。这意味着你可以结识每个人，而不会感到负担过重。经理 Josh 非常亲切，他非常努力地与客人沟通，分享度假村的一些精彩历史故事。我们入住期间，也有几个独自旅行的客人，我注意到工作人员对他们特别热情，包括与他们共进晚餐，让他们感到宾至如归。
旅馆的环保资质非常令人印象深刻，有很多关于如何节约资源和减少浪费的信息。
房间本身非常舒适，尤其是大床，我们每晚都睡得很好。房间相当宽敞，所有房间都有壮丽的海湾景色。我建议你订一间带室外淋浴的房间，这样你就不需要在房间里洗掉沙子和游泳装备了。带小型游泳池的房间可能不值得我住，因为度假村的游泳池很棒，海湾浮潜也很棒。
一个不幸的失误是我们预订了一天的白天堂海滩之旅，但真的很后悔：度假村为我们安排了一次大众旅游，共有 60 人（位于艾尔利海滩的海洋漂流），而这其实是针对背包客群体的——即从出发时就鼓励饮酒，船长喜欢用快艇做“甜甜圈”，整个乘船之旅都伴随着扬声器中播放的电子音乐。这次旅行最糟糕的地方是它让我们远离度假村一整天，让我们从度假村的僻静幸福中惊醒，回到现实。我向管理层反馈了这次旅行是多么令人失望（尽管目的地很美）。他们尽了最大努力弥补，但我仍然觉得他们应该知道这不是住在 Elysian 的客人想要的那种体验。
因此，虽然我给这篇评论打了四星而不是五星，但 Elysian 确实是一个可以享受轻松奢华体验的地方，如果您足够幸运，能够负担得起，那么这笔钱是值得的。我们希望有一天能回去，多呆一段时间，不用参加背包客之旅！
