Amazing rooms with fantastic views, great food, exceptional service, friendly staff, amazing location, secluded, private tours with very low numbers meaning we beat all the crowds and had amazing places all to ourselves. Fantastic snorkelling just in front of the hotel. We've never stayed anywhere with such consideration for allergy concerns (specially prepared meals etc.) Overall a very welcoming place.

“Serene. Pristine. Heavenly.”

눇As part of extended Philippines trip, me and my family stayed in El-Nido Miniloc resorts for three days. This has to be one of the best locations in the world. About an hour’s boat transfer from El-Nido airport, Miniloc is settled on its own island and house reef. First of all, I would like to highlight the high standards of the staff. They are immensely caring and every act is geared towards making the stay memorable for the guests. Right from the moment you enter the Domestic Airport at Manila (yes, Manila!), they ensure that you are cared for. After arrival at El-Nido airport, their representative was waiting to receive us. After a short 5 minute drive to the pier, (where we were greeted by local Palawan songs and savories), a picturesque boat ride took us to the resort. The view of the resort was breathtaking from afar. Next 2-3 days were packed with activities with visits to small and big lagoon, island hopping, Kayaking and Snorkeling. Though we traveled with a small kid and none of us knew swimming, their friendly and professional guides and activity coordinators made their utmost effort to help us. I would especially like to highlight activity coordinator Mr. Angelo, who not only helped us during the assigned day of Snorkeling, but when he saw me and my wife unsuccessfully navigating the house-reef the following day, on his own accord, he approached us and spent 30-mins of his personal time in carrying us to explore the house-reef. Thanks Mr. Angelo for helping us check one of the biggest bucket list items. I would also like to point that all the activities (except diving), which by the way can easily stuff your 4-day stay, are complimentary and included in the room price. So if you think that room price is exorbitant, also consider that each of those excursions can easily cost you 3000-10000 pesos per day.

눉The food is a little poor for the amount of money you spend. The food in Lagen is a lot better (day trip for lunch). Bring the food from lagen to Miniloc and then it's perfect!
눇It is rustic, traditional and the most relaxing place I have ever been. Along with that when you do want to go out there are so many activities and days out you can do. Island hopping, kayaking, SNORKELLING!! This is a great location.

“Paradise”
- • Leisure trip

눉We were disappointed that when we told the hotel we were on honeymoon that they responded with saying would we like the romance package which was an extra £150! Given how expensive the hotel was we felt this was a bit cheeky and didn't feel 'special' for being on honeymoon. We stayed at places at £60 per night opposed to £400 and even they sprinkled rose petals on the bed and made swans out of towels (Small things to make us feel special). Some feedback for the future - it is alot of money to spend per night and we only chose this resort because we were on honeymoon and unfortunately won't be returning unless its a special occasion which hopefully the resort will recognize in the future e..g 5 year anniversary as other couples were.
눇We stayed on Miniloc Island for 3 days whilst on our Honeymoon. The journey to the resort was completely stress free, we flew direct from Manila to El Nido and were greeted by a El Nido Resort representative who took us to the boat and transferred us with others to the island. On arrival they gave you juice and sung songs! It was a lovely journey and very relaxing. They take you back to the airport on check out day and a representative waited with us until our next hotel driver picked us up to ensure we were off safely. The island is peaceful and relaxing, the wifi is temperamental but you don't want wifi in a place like this... we wanted to be cut off. The food is incredible - local dishes all freshly prepared in front of you. We couldn't believe how many activities are included as part of the package, there are so many boat tours for big/small lagoon, local islands e.g. snake island, secret caves and opportunities to have lunch at their beach club! We loved it! We felt this justified the amount you pay more. I recommend going on the small and big lagoon tour whilst on miniloc because on main land el nido this is Tour A so you save some money and also beat the tourists! We were in small lagoon with 3 other couples at the resort at 8am in the morning and got to enjoy its tranquility and peace before the mainland tourists arrived after 10! What we absolutely loved was at night time they would write on a leaf good night and leave a story about the island for you to read. Small touches were lovely.

눉Didn't like that service charge and government tax wasn't built into the drinks prices, it was added on after. For the steep price we thought it was a bit cheeky that drinks weren't included, we expected at least soft drinks to be available without charge, however this wasn't the case (water was complementary)
눇Amazing rooms with fantastic views, great food, exceptional service, friendly staff, amazing location, secluded, private tours with very low numbers meaning we beat all the crowds and had amazing places all to ourselves. Fantastic snorkelling just in front of the hotel. We've never stayed anywhere with such consideration for allergy concerns (specially prepared meals etc.) Overall a very welcoming place.
