The service, food and environment are all very good
There are many activities and the crew is responsible
There are also special activities during the New Year
A good choice for friends who like swimming and snorkeling. It doesn’t matter if you can’t swim, you can still have fun. It’s a bit boring to stay in the hotel all the time
The room is relatively small. This place is not like Maldives. The area is limited. I understand

Anyway, the customer service was really good! The food was also very delicious, and the menu changed every time, so I never got bored! I definitely want to go again. Next time, I'd like to relax for about a week.

The staff are all friendly and comfortable. They take care of everything from airport transfers to the buffet.
The buffet, which mainly features Filipino and Western food, is very delicious and will satisfy even the most discerning foodies.
You can enjoy kayaking in the lagoon and island hopping by participating in the daily activities. And personally, the best thing about this hotel is the coral reef right in front of the hotel. Guests can enjoy snorkeling freely. I was able to spot Nemo and sea turtles.
The only bad thing is the quality of the shower. The water pressure is weak and the hot water runs out quickly. It's a remote island, so it can't be helped.

Good reviews, worth recommending. The price/performance ratio is good. You can see a lot of big fish and turtles when snorkeling in front of the hotel. The food tastes good too. The only problem may be that the room is a bit small.

The seaside rooms are surprisingly quiet because the sea dam blocks the surging tide. The resort has a variety of activities. Snorkeling and kayaking are free at the resort itself, and the scenery is not inferior to the outer islands.

The room was mini and very clean. Especially the staff service is very good and the management is great. The hotel includes all meals and activities. El Nido’s most classic island hopping tour is included. The price/performance ratio is very high. Recommended stay

Very Good

Used for 2 nights and 3 days.
Even when my flight from Manila to El Nido suddenly changed from an afternoon flight to a morning flight, the boat was quickly arranged and we arrived at the resort smoothly. Furthermore, I was able to enjoy the lunch buffet on the day of my arrival!
The location of the resort is also great!
Not only is it close to big and small lagoons, but it also takes about 15 minutes by boat to snorkeling points.
Excellent access to activity fields.
You can see an incredible amount of fish in the sea around the hotel.
A resort I would like to stay at again when I come back to El Nido

The island is private and quiet, and there is a turndown service every night. The hotel has sea activities every day, which will be staggered with the island hopping tours outside. There are relatively few people at several attractions. There are snorkeling beaches, fish feeding caves, boating, and three meals are included. At the buffet, the Filipino island hopping guy is also very enthusiastic and will help you take photos. Winter is the peak season in the Philippines, so the price will be more expensive. It would be more perfect if there is a bathtub.

It's not a good idea to travel alone.
You pay a deposit first, and the necessary expenses are paid from it, so you don't have to pay anything during your stay.Also, you can generally be satisfied with the activities included in the hotel plan, so there is no need to make reservations. You can truly forget about the world.
Please note that transportation must be booked up to three days in advance, and activities must be booked up to the day before.
It seems that the marine plants and animals on the beach in front of the hotel are being carefully protected and nurtured, and there are signs of regeneration. Even now, there are various plants and animals in that narrow cove, which can be seen from the pier, and is a great place to snorkel or dive. It is very fun.
The air conditioning is so comfortable that you almost forget you're in the Philippines. There is also hot water in the bathroom.
Above all, the staff are very hardworking and I would like to hear about what kind of employee training they do.
The activities are also very interesting.
Meals change daily. I think it's delicious for the Philippines. (In general, the food is better in Thai-Vietnamese food. I have the ingredients, so why not?) I wanted to get back the frying pan and make the omelet myself. If I give you the recipe for dessert, will you make it for me? )g
The only thing is that the drainage system is weak, and there is an ammonia smell in the shower room. This is a common problem throughout the Philippines, and may be a fundamental problem with the piping system or construction technology.

We stayed at miniloc for our honeymoon Everything was just perfect! This place is just magical. We stayed in the watter cottage and the employees were amazing with us. We loved all the complimentary activities and the private dinner on the beach organize by the team as a surprise from my husband for our honeymoon. The dinner was just incredible. The snorkeling in front of the hotel is one of the best in palawan too. Our experience there is definitely one of the highlight of our honeymoon!
Response from Property: Dear elodiears, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your honeymoon and that everything exceeded your expectations. Congratulations again on your honeymoon, and we hope to welcome you back someday for another unforgettable stay.

Great location and setting. The rooms are really clean and cleaned at least twice a day during our stay. The facilities are very well maintained. The ‘house reef’ on the resort frontage was really awesome for snorkelling, couldn’t believe the diversity of the marine life just at each side of the resort jetty. The real gem here were the resort staff. They were all very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Genuine Filipino hospitality was definitely felt. Highly recommended.
Response from Property: Dear Joseph E, Thank you so much for sharing your delightful review. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable stay. Your kind words about our facilities, the house reef and staff mean the world to us. We are proud of our team for embodying genuine Filipino hospitality and ensuring that every guest feels valued and cared for. Thank you for recommending us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable stay.
