El Nido Resorts Miniloc Island Reviews

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

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.

Service: Excellent Hygiene: very clean Environment: very beautiful

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.

Satisfied with the room and service

Paradise found!!!!!!!!!!! We stayed at El Nido Miniloc Resort during Christmas 2023 for 4 nights. What an amazing memory. We truly LOVED our trip. We are a family of four: mom, dad and two teenage girls (17 & 15). We were picked up at the El Nido airport by the hotel team in a luxury van. They handled all of our luggages and delivered them to our room flawlessly. After a short ride to the pier and getting refreshing drinks and snacks at the lounge, you get on a boat for a 45-minute boat ride with incredible views of so many beautiful islands. The resort itself is DATED and is in need of a complete remodel but what makes this into a paradise is the ENTIRE STAFF, the location itself and the all the attractions around the islands. We did ALL the excursions including kayaking at the Big Lagoon at sunrise, small lagoon, snorkeling, and a full private day boat excursion to see pristine untouched beaches with an incredible lunch, made just for our family. What again truly makes this trip and resort INCREDIBLE (our family has been blessed with extremely luxurious trips all around the world like The Maldives, Tahiti, etc.) is the Filipino culture and hospitality. The ENTIRE staff is so welcoming and try their hardest to make sure all is great and try to go out of their way to provide amazing care and hospitality. Amongst ALL of the staff (and I really mean ALL were wonderful), the one who truly made our holiday from great to OUTSTANDING was Mr. Benji. WOW! This guy is all about taking care of his guests. We requested BENJI since the day he picked us at the airport. He took us to the sunrise tours, snorkeling, remote place, full day excursion with lunch at a secluded beach and he showed us so many things that we could have never seen just by ourselves, and he knew all the amazing locations for taking that special photo. He also takes care of everyone to make sure they are safe whether snorkeling/swimming or walking on rocks. He even paid the coconut guys at the beach since I forgot my money at the room (of course we reimbursed him later). He is actually quite an amazing photographer, and he took so many photos of our family that deserves a photographic award. We requested him to take us back to the airport and he changed his schedule so he could be with our family. THANK YOU VERY MUCH BENJI, you really made our trip from great to AMAZING. Also, the HEAD CHEF at the Restautant was INCREDIBLE. He always went out of his way to make sure our family has everything we need and several times, asked us if he can make anything special. He made us a stir-fried shrimp with garlic that we still talk about (DELICIUOS) and also brought to our table incredible Tuna Sashimi a few times. THANK YOU so much Chef and the entire hard-working restaurant and kitchen staff. We were blessed to be there for Christmas Eve festivities which were wonderful with a super special dinner buffet and an incredible group of musicians from Manila with beautiful voices. We dan

We had a wonderful time. From the time we arrived until we departed, so much care was given to us as a family. The rooms were clean and buffet also very good. Excellent place for kids to just be. Felt very safe and there's so much to do. Special shoutout to our Miniloc appointed guide Benjie who took us to all the different sites - the lagoons, snake island and other places. Highly recommend Benjie - he also took the best family photos and took care of my 70 year old parents so they were comfortable.

El Nido Miniloc never fails to impress. Unbelievable natural beauty of the area a true paradise. The beauty and serenity of the place was truly healing. Service in Miniloc and other islands of the resort is excellent, sea activities galore and attentive staff. It’s our top go to place for the family
