    “7th wedding anniversary trip”

    Tokyo to Manila, moving terminals, and then taking a propeller plane to El Nido airport. Once we arrived in El Nido, everything was perfect and we were able to move smoothly to the port. We celebrated our anniversary with a cake on the bed. There are sights to see around the hotel in El Nido, so the morning was spent on a tour, and in the afternoon, we snorkeled at the pool and the house reef, and the day passed in no time. At the house reef, we could swim with jackfish (they are there even outside feeding times in the morning) and many other fish. Each time we snorkeled here, we were also able to see two turtles! The staff were all cheerful and kind. Especially the guide in the back of the photo! Thank you for always looking out for us. I looked forward to seeing you every day during the activities. It was a pity I couldn’t say goodbye. During my first trip to the Philippines, I was worried about the security at Manila airport based on reviews. However, fortunately, nothing happened on either leg of the trip, and we returned safely. The hotel also had plenty of security personnel, which made me feel secure. Next time, I’d like to go again after renovations! Until then, I hope all the staff members are well. Thank you for your care.

    “Perfect stay ”

    Our stay at this resort was absolutely perfect in every way. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding — warm, personal, and genuinely caring. Every staff member made us feel special and truly taken care of. We had just gotten engaged before arriving, and the team surprised us with a beautiful room upgrade and helped us celebrate this milestone with an unforgettable private dinner on the beach. The setup was breathtaking — candles, the sound of the waves, and the most romantic atmosphere imaginable. The resort itself is set on a private island surrounded by pristine nature and turquoise waters. There’s a wide variety of activities included — from kayaking, snorkeling, and island-hopping to simply relaxing on the beach — making it easy to experience the very best of the Philippines and Palawan without ever feeling rushed. Everything about this place radiates tranquility, beauty, and heart. It’s the perfect destination for couples, and especially for anyone celebrating something special. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience.

    “Very Enjoyable Stay in Miniloc”

    The resort is super convenient when staying in El Nido. The resort is very close to the island tourist spots around El Nido and you are given priority access to these locations (e.g. Big Lagoon, Entatula Island, etc.) beating the crowds and other tourists. The staff at the resort were very friendly and attentive to your needs, they will always greet you and assist you whenever they can. I love that right at the resort itself you can paddle and snorkel for FREE at any time as near the docks there's a coral reef with lots of fishes and even turtles! While the resort is relatively small, it gives you a stunning view beachside into the open water, sleeping beachside was very relaxing. The tours they offer also pretty much allows you to experience El Nido, great as well that these are already complementary to your stay! Would wholeheartedly recommend this resort especially if it's your first time in El Nido and want a chill vacation experience.

    “The perfect vacation to escape winter”

    I’ve been looking forward to this trip since I planned and booked it to get away from the UK winter. El Nido is gorgeous - that’s a fact. The Miniloc resort is advantageously situated near activity sites like the Big & Small Lagoons where we kayaked and took gorgeous pictures. Navigating the Small Lagoon was an adventure for a chill vacationer type like myself. The snorkelling with the resort itself was so fun, with school of fish & big jack fish just around the area, particularly during feeding time. I can’t praise the staff enough. We really felt like we were cared for, from the welcome at the airport to the assistance when we left. All the guides for the activities were courteous, kind, and knowledgeable. Shout out to Kuya Andy, Ben, & Marlon for being the best guides. The food was fantastic! There was enough variety the 5 days we were there, although I wouldn’t mind having the pancit guisado station every night. Huge thank you to Bern & Lara, and to Chef Jeff for the scrumptious grilled unicorn fish. Would also like to thank nurse Zayn & Doc for taking care of our little cuts & bruises. The room itself was spacious, bed was so comfortable, and water pressure in the bathroom was good. My only comment is on the plastic toothbrush - I’d recommend using a bamboo one since it is an eco resort. I can’t wait to go back - actually planning our return to Miniloc even now.

    “Nothing compares to this beautiful and peaceful island”

    If you want a stress free vacation, this is the place to be. From the you arrived in Lio Airport, you will be taken care of by the El Nido Resort. Highly recommended, we booked Deluxe Seaview room, very clean, beautiful view of the ocean. Food is superb - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff are accommodating and always smiling. Tour guides are patient and always available if you need help, they are good at taking photos too! I will keep coming back.
