Wonderful, the best beach I have ever seen in any hotels in the world the best staff ”
Highly recommend. All activities free and they feed fish amazing. Also the issue was the smile in the bathroom. If they will change the furniture will be great. There was a delay to reach the hotel. But the staff upgraded our room to over water. We will come back for this resort for sure. Great location.

Paradise ”
We spent 4nights at this resort. We had an amazing time, there are several activities included in the price (small lagoon, big lagoon, etc). Staff is really helpful during the activities. The rooms are rather small, but you have everything you need. There is a mini fridge in the room but it is empty. The infinity pool is great. Food is buffet style and it is ok, though it can be better.

Amazing place”
We stayed in both Lagen and Miniloc resorts. The 2 places are to die for. Spectacular views and locations. The staff is super friendly and very well organized to make your stay the best possible. Lagen is a bit more posh but Miniloc is closer to all activities the hotels provides. Highly recommended if you can afford it.

Magical hidden island paradise”
The location of this place is unreal! Go stay here if u want to be away from crowds and on a remote island resort. We stayed in the beach bungalows. Great size and better value for money than the waterbungalow. U are right in between big lagoon and secret lagoon. So I can paddle out there in your own without the crowds early in the morning. Only recommendation I'll give is to update SUP's as they not in good working condition. Food was ok, rather give less quantity and more quality.
We will definitely be back!

One with Naure”
Staff, choice of water activities, food
The enitre trip was well organized, from the time you checked in to the private flight, arrivedat Lio and then transferred to the island and then repeated it uoon departure. So well organized that not a beat was skipped. Full marks for organization. Upon arrival to the island, you are greeted by the staff who welcome you in song. Check in is simpel process adn teh Activities Coordinator is there to plan your activities should you wish to do so. All activities were again well organized and very enjoyable. You could if you wish have no down time whatsoever. The rooms were disappointing; in need of renovation and refurbishment. There was a smell of mold, things were patched up and looked worn. The three meals were inlcuded and there was an ample amount of choice and very tasty food. Snorkeling is a must, visit the islands and the enjoy a day lounging and swimming in clear water with lots fo fish to keep you company. WiFi was iffy at times; okay in the main restaurant, not good in the rooms. Would fdefintiely go back again, but I would encourage management to do a refurb on the property sooner rather than later. Great for families, couples, solo travelers, in fact everyone.

Wonderful Stay!”
Excellent service, nice beach-front room, beautiful beach!!!
My husband and I celebrated our 11th year anniversary in Miniloc last June 9. We had a wonderful stay. The staff did a romantic setup by the beach for our after dinner drink. this is despite the fact that our private dinner was canceled prior, due to weather condition. All our requests were granted, including breakfast on their other resort Lagen, also the beach lunch at their private resort in Entalula was fantastic. Can't wait to go back there with our kids.

Great Resort”
the private reefs and the other elnido resorts available to visit.
i loved milinoc and believe that this is the better one to stay at the time we did. there is another elnido resort currently being established at the time, which looked amazing. but was more expensive than lagen. we were glad we stayed at milinoc rather than lagen. i'm sure the rooms at lagen would be great, but the reefs and lagoons around milinoc were far better. we did not go on the group tours - just got a boat driver to drop us off with a kayak and snorkelling gear and they would pick us up at whatever time we requested. was fantastic. one morning we went at 6am before any of the tours got there - was fantastic.
food: ok (we did al carte)
rooms: beach front was good, but regretted not booking the water cottages, which were smaller and not as nice...but so but so much more appealing and better positioned.

Nice environment and many activities to choose from. However, need to request for cold and hot water from the hotel staff as tap water is not drinkable. This could be quite annoying as you may need to drink plenty of water in such hot weather. Or else, you need to buy bottle water from the hotel.

Just got back from four nights at Miniloc August 2009. What an incredible vacation! The staff at El Nido was world class, an amazing bunch of people. They made sure our activities were planned for the entire week, and made sure we were totally happy at all times. The food was very good, diving excellent, snorkeling incredible. The scenary is breathtaking, unlike anything I have ever seen, and I am well traveled. Great resort to go as a couple or family. I might bring a laptop next time, as there are no TVs in the room.
