The Miniloc’s location is amazing. The resorts is located close by the main attractions as Big and Small Lagoon in El Nido. The hotel offers kayaks that you can use it to reach out those attractions easy.

Facilities were great, service was excellent, plenty of resort activities to choose from. Overall El Nido Resorts Miniloc Island is outstanding! It is our new favorite vacation destination!

Adam, United States of America

I liked that the Resort included many activities in the package with your booking, so you and your family will not be bored for sure. I include kayak, snorkeling, the visit to Lagen Resort for lunch, other 2 beach clubs for lunch and other beautiful beaches. So you only need to decide your schedule for the next day. As ever, Filipino people excellent in their service.

Well first of all we didn’t stay at Miniloc since it was closed for renovations so they Upgraded us to Lagen Island which is a nicer resort but I think I would have liked the Miniloc resort location more, since it has more activities to do, Lagen is more of a relaxing and just chill place. Having that said, The Lagen Island resort location is great if you just want to chill at lagend, the Island and resort are beautiful. And that is pretty much what you are paying. Staff is overall nice and very caring, the Tours offered by the resort are also good and the Guides are very friendly but sometimes it can get crowded on the boat... definitely not ‘’exclusive’’. Overall a good experience but an expensive one too.

Would have been nice to have some amenities provided in the room, q-tips, cotton pads, etc. The room was clearly designed by a man — hairdryer cord to short to reach over the desk where the mirror is, no makeup mirror, 1m between sink and mirror. Bed was also a quite hard.

The food wasn’t great to be honest, at least for what I felt I was paying for. I’ve been at other resorts at the Philippines with better food options. The rooms are also kinda avarage, even the water cottages... Sometimes the staff was too intense, They called me 3 times while I was sleeping and I even disconnected the phone and they kept calling. Definitely not the best way to treat a guest.

It can get a little boring at night but you are so busy in the day time that it doesn't worry you to much.
The resort is beautiful and close to so many beautiful attractions. The diving was awesome, we saw some really awesome things. The staff are awesome, they are really well trained, helpful and very friendly.

First room we were given was horrible. Especially for the amount we paid, it was the most expensive place we stayed in the Philippines, and the rooms was bad. We complained and were upgraded to a newer room, but don’t think anyone should’ve been staying in the one we were given. Also, the food was not good. Definitely catered toward Asian clientele, and disappointed that you have “set” hours you can eat.
The location is beautiful, the staff are super friendly. Best part of the stay was our tour guide Gee who we had for a couple tours. Beyond friendly and knowledgeable about all of El Nido!

We didn't know that there was a gym until the last day.
The staff were amazing - we were both sick one night and the dr came straight away and gave us the medication we needed, the staff let us check out late because we didn't feel well. The chef even made us some plain rice outside of meal times so that we could eat something gentle. The reef outside the beach is one of the best we've seen in the Philippians without diving. The food was great and the had a salad bar! (Rare if you stay on the mainland) this stay was fantastic - the inclusive trips to snake island and the cave made our stay even better and the sunrise kayak to the big lagoon beat all the tourist trips so we could see some of the more easily scared wildlife like Philipino kingfishers and Palawan hornbills (highly recommend)

Mini lock needs updating. A pool would be a well received improvement. Food was good, but could use more variety. The wine menu needs work. Poor choices, marked up rediculously. There are many inexpensive but far better wines available in Manila.
Beautiful islands and sea. The resort is aging but location, staff and well timed activities contributed to an outstanding time.

Our room’s air conditioner didn’t work well, we tried to put it colder but it wasn’t possible, it was seemed broken. About the shuttle to the port. They didn’t inform us that we needed to pay for the shuttle extra fee (USD100,00) to get the shuttle early, luckily we could share this fee with another guests.

“Misleading ”

The Water cottages are not actually bookable on booking.com which lead to us booking the deluxe Seaview room thinking it was actually the water cottages. When we were lead to our room it was in the opposite direction to the deluxe rooms which are just standard rooms really. The main photo you see everywhere of this hotel is of the cottages yet they aren’t considered the best. The most expensive room in the hotel probably offers the least. The value for money is possibly the worst of any place I have ever stayed, it’s just like any other 5 star hotel in the Phillipines that you would only pay $300 a night to stay in. No pool and the beach water is shallow and rocky. Food is quite mediocre for a hotel of this stature.
The hotel has a nice bar, pool table, beachside seating and very nice staff.
