El Nido Resorts Miniloc Island

The properties attention to detail. The staff was all courteous, professional and hospitable, they went above and beyond. We felt so pampered from the moment we stepped out of the plane to when we get back to the plane. Our stay was well orchestrated . It really exceeded my expectations,

Nothing. Everything was beyond perfect.

Excellent and personalised service. All the staff were so caring, respectful, and professional. The location was pure paradise. Food was very good. I love all the activities that we could do for free.

The bedroom can still be improved. Retain the Filipino design and materials but make it more refined.

One of the best resorts in El Nido

ロケーションは最高でした のんびりとアイランドリゾートを楽しめます バスタオルの替えも何度もくれますし、ゲストが快適に過ごせるように配慮されてます。 ただ、アラカルトメニューやドリンクが高いです サービスは丁寧ですが、ルームキーのエラーの修理をお願いしたのに直されてなくて、もう一度頼みに行きました アメニティは環境に配慮してるのはわかりますが、再利用できる室内履きのサンダル等を用意した方が良いと思います。 全体としてはやや割高

It's remote beaches and activities are the best part of it. Don't have to travel far Each day.

Amazing place, perfect combination of resort and nature. Most amazing customer service, world class. From the time you arrive at the airport in Lio, up to the time you board the plane from Lio airport, the team is focused on providing a seamless experience. Highly recommended.

Miniloc has exceeded expectations in all areas - from airport to airport! The WOW-factor is at 10 because we felt soooo taken cared of from pick up at airport - with special VIP lounge to the warm welcome with songs and snacks , to the very personal greetings of their staff all up to the end - EXCELLENT SERVICE WAS CONSISTENT! Paying full board is so well worth it since it includes all the excursions in the big and small lagoons among others. THE SNORKLING AREA BY MINILOC'S IS D'BEST! We will definitley come back! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

They could have more staff at the Massage area and perhaps a good pastry chef?

The property was very beautiful and the staff are incredible

Genuine paradise! Amazing staff, very attentive and super nice.

Pros: - The best thing is diving center with Jimbo as the dive master. My husband was the only one who was diving so we had private dives with Jimbo two days in the row. Jimbo is the best asset that this resort has and if you want to dive in Philippines, make sure to do it here with Jimbo. He made this experience the best that it would be. He was carrying and always smiling, super positive person that was the best underwater guide that you could imagine. Thank you once again for making this stay so special to us. - beautiful location with amazing views - you can do all the activities before the places got crowded which is a great experience

Cons: - The biggest issue that we have is the food. We stayed there for 4 nights and it was quite annoying. For all 3 meals there is a buffet which would be great but since the hotel is small, the buffet is also rather tiny. And the thing that was the worst is that the food was almost the same all the time. If you are staying more than 4 days, I can't even imagine. And it was sad that there was not that many local dishes. There was sushi and pasta every single day but if was hard to try something from the local cuisine. I think it should be changed in order to make this experience full. - because of the flows that water level was changing constantly and as the result there was no beach at all. It's still beautiful place but you have to be aware about it. The water in the sea was quite dirty and once we even saw the jelly fish. So we decided to use the pool only. - the price is extremely high if you are going to compare it to other places.

Tout est magnifique Les excursions free de qualité car en petits groupes et dans un time où vous serez les seuls au monde Pour les amateurs de snorkeling c est topissime Nourriture parfait Chambre un peu petite pour tatillonner Service de transferts digne d un 5* Bref allez y les yeux fermés Marlène room 24

Absolutely beautiful property! Outstanding staff! Interesting activities!! Luxury!!!

The service, staff, food, activities were excellent. An idyllic setting. Was just heaven.

We have had the pleasure of experiencing many resorts around the world, but this resort stands out as one of the greatest… The service, room amenities, and the location of the property make it easily a must see. Worth every penny from start to finish. THANK YOU EL NIDO RESORTS!!!

Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits dans la chambre deluxe vue mer no 64 la dernière au bout de la jetée. Aucun vis a vis si ce n'est quelques locaux qui prennent leur bateau. Je recommande le tour en kayak à big lagoon a 6h du mat inclus dans le prix de la chambre. Seuls dans le lagon, top. Nous avons egalement fait Small lagoon tres sympa aussi car visite l'après-midi quand les touristes partent. Les 2 sont à 5 mi. De l'hôtel. Lautre excursion comprise est un tour de 4h vers secret lagoon, une belle plage et du snorkeling cetait bien mais trop de monde sur les sites et le snorkeling est aussi joli a l'hôtel. Devant l'hôtel très jolis coraux, etoiles de mer bleures avec de jolis poissons même s'ils ne sont pas extrêmement nombreux et tous les matins une tortue à qui ils donnent a manger. Cote nourriture, elle est tres bonne mais le choix n'est pas immense donc sur 4 jours cela peut etre répétitif. Côté boissons, l'hôtel n'en parle pas mais il existe un forfait boissons à 3800 peso par personne par jour donc un peu plus de 60 euros, au dela de 5 verres par jour cela vaut le coup de le prendre car les boissons sont tres chères 650 peso soit 10 euros pour une bière alors que dans les autres hotels c'est moins de 200 peso. Le personnel de l'hôtel est tres accueillant et se plie en 4 pour vous faire plaisir Pour résumer nous avons passé 4 jours de rêve dans un lieu idyllique, les paysages sont magnifiques

We loved the location, peaceful vibe, activities, comfort and friendliness of the staff.

We recommend a water or beach side villa for peace and quiet.

Miniloc Resort was a paradise and an exceptional destination. Staffs were very courteous, kind and friendly and also knowledgeable about the place. Shout out to our island tour guide Jonathan “Tan” and Ernie for making our experience safe and memorable.

There is nothing to like about Miniloc Resort.

The staff is extremely professional. Helpful, friendly, always read y to help. The uniforms very clean.

일단 삼시세끼 조식 메뉴가 4일동안 매번 매일 다 다르고 맛있었습니다. 4일동안 10끼 이상 먹으면 메뉴가 겹칠 법도 한데, 다 다르더군요. 숙소도 넓고 편합니다. 다만 침대가 조금 딱딱해서 아쉬웠는데, 체크아웃하는 날 모든게 다 좋았지만 그부분은 좀 아쉬웠다고 카운터에 얘기하니 '왜 미리 얘기 안했냐고, 우리가 바꿔줬을텐데'라고 얘기하더군요. 근데 이런거 저런거 다 떠나서 여기 경치가 진짜 좋습니다. 해변도 이쁘고 뒤에 자연과 절벽, 가끔 보이는 원숭이들에 바로 앞 바다에 들어가면 보이는 거북이에 물밖에서도 물 안에서도 물고기들 한가득 보이고 밤하늘엔 별들까지 가득합니다, 그 외 간단히 즐길 레포츠들과 수영장에 휴식공간까지 어느하나 부족한거 없이 좋았습니다. 공항에서부터 전용라운지, 전용보트픽업, 투어로 전용해변, 여러 무료 투어들까지 있어서 돈이 하나도 안아까웠어요. 다음에 또 가고 싶습니다.

The hotel is in a perfect enclave of a cove surrounded by mountains and jungle, with beautiful flowers and even some monkeys on the trees. The reef by the hotel is rich in life and just a swim away. The hotel is conveniently located close to the big laggon and small lagoon, which are breathtaking landscapes. The staff is amazing, all very friendly and ready to help. The rooms are somewhat small but in such a beautiful setting that it feels great. Meals and tours to the lagoons are included which justifies the price.

2025年2月に家族で1泊しました。 モルディブのような「高級1アイランド1リゾート」方式で、島には欧米系と日本人の宿泊客しかおらず、のんびりした快適な時間を過ごせました。 食事は3食付き、アクティビティも動力を使わない系はほぼ全部無料なので、一度払っておけば島でお金の心配をしなくていいのがよかったです。 ◆食事について 3食ともバイキングでそこそこ美味しかったです。 強いて言うなら、そこまで種類が多くないので3泊くらいする場合は飽きるかも？ ◆アクティビティについて 桟橋の先のハウスリーフはそのままドロップオフになっており、シュノーケリングでたくさんの熱帯魚を見たり、深い海の底を覗きこんだりできます。 また、スモールラグーン、ビッグラグーンエルニド本島からのツアーAなど、様々なツアーに宿泊者は無料で参加できて、10分程度でアクセスできるので本当に便利でした。特に、早朝のビッグラグーンは一見の価値ありです。 ◆部屋について ガーデンコテージはそこまで広くないですが、外でのんびり滞在する時間が多いので、あまり気になりません。部屋もバスルームも清潔でした。 ◆スタッフについて 皆親切で笑顔です。リオ港からのボート送迎から始まり、アクティビティの相談に乗ってくれたり、バスタオルをアクティビティや飲み水をいいタイミング渡してくれるなど、ホスピタリティが素晴らしいです。 最後に、気をつけることとしては ・時期によってはクラゲが出る ・アルコールが１杯500〜800ペソしてかなり高いので、お酒をたくさん飲む人は本島から持ってきたほうがいい ・出発前に、本島での合流場所を明確にメールで決めておく（私の場合は、前日までリオに泊まっていたのでリオの桟橋からボートが出ました） くらいだと思います。 迷っていたら、ぜひ一度泊まりに来ることをお勧めします。 高い金額を払ってでまくる価値はあると思います！

We like the food and staff friendliness

the alcohol selection

During our stay, we joined a bunch of free activities. The stunning views and unforgettable memories made this trip super special. The friendly tour guide and great service made our experience even better, making the trip even more enjoyable. note：In there they can't break large bills. It's better to have smaller bills and coins ready.

Nothing

Staff very attentive to guest and prioritize safety enjoyed the Activities . Overall rate it a 10 experience. Only negative is saw 2 snake in our walkway going to our room and it made me scared on my sorroundings and was thinking of it at night

Sejour dans un lieu magique avec du personnel sympatique et attentionné

Staff were so friendly and accommodating. The rooms were beautiful and we loved our bed! There's snorkeling steps away from the rooms and the pool view can't be beat. I loved waking up early and watching the sunrise from different areas of the property.

El Nido changed it's policies regarding excursions recently. Things that were complimentary before became up charged, so many family members were disappointed about this. We did not receive the info for services until a couple weeks before our trip so it felt a little tricky. My sister was sent the older attachment so she was shocked at the resort itself. The prices for massages were changed AFTER signing the bill. The original charge was lower on my massage. I had double checked prices with the front desk spa menu so it felt strange to see the price upped.

Struttura molto bella e servizio impeccabile sotto tutti i punti di vista. Organizzazione perfetta. Camera (beach view) con tutti i comfort, anche se non molto grande. Un po' care le escursioni a pagamento...di contro una sorpresa gradita quelle gratuite.

Although the AirSwift plane was 1 hour late arriving at 4:30 pm, the transfer was still taken care of by Ruel. It felt like a James Bond movie: from the plane into the van driving onto the jetty directly to the speed boat that took us to the island in only 20 min … just in time before night fall, which is when the coast guard wouldn’t allow any boat ride anymore. The full board catering was fantastic, both in terms of Filipino and Western food. The waiters and cooks were fabulous living up to the wonderful Filipino philosophy of bayanihan … doing everything to make you happy, not because they’re staff, but because one genuinely feels that they are happy if the guest is happy. There was not one angry soul in this place!! As a lover of Filipino food, I didn’t need to request the food I like … they read it in my eyes (pinakbet, kamote cue etc). The following stood out in particular: Vergel, Ricky, Chai, Jess, Alfonso, Fhee, John, Vern. As to the complimentary activities: We were overwhelmed with what was already included in the package. Two guides stood out: Reylan and Marlon bent over backwards for me to get the best snorkeling experience and gently took care of my Asawa, Edna, who - thanks to them - is no longer afraid of the water and the ocean. In summary: job well done from the cleaners to the waiters/cooks to the tour guides to the receptionists (Kath & Kath and Jess) and lastly the wonderful manager Francis.

Loved the food options, they really tried to provide options for the vegetarians and those with gluten allergies in our large group of 17. They also saved a table for 17 throughout our entire stay so we could sit together, and came out to sing happy birthday for my son's 12th birthday dinner! The gym was excellent but didn't have too much space for more than one person to do yoga. The travel guides Gee & Mario were excellent and highly recommended for all your kayaking and aquatic adventures! I also highly recommend Rezzie for strong massages!

The game room was a little small - only had one mahjong table, would be nice to have another table for cars or board games. My bathroom smelled but they attempted to rectify the problem by providing an air freshener.

food varied, cocktails were delicious.....

Incrível, um dos melhores hotéis que já ficamos. Lugar paradisíaco, atendimento excepcional, comida é ótima. A única parte ruim foi ir embora.

The entire stay was superb!

Nothing

Ein wirlich traumhaftes Inselresort, mit äußerst freundlichem und höflichem Personal, sehr schönen täglichen Ausflügen zur Big Lagoon (gleich um die Ecker), zur Small Laggon, zur Secret Lagoon (beide auch auf Miniloc Island), Schnorcheln vor Shimizu Island und Baden am Traumstrand von Entalula Island. All diese Ausflüge sind im Zimmerpreis inklusive. Das Resort verleiht auch gratis Kajaks und Schnorchelausrüstung. Im Hausriff vor dem Resort haben wir beim Schnorcheln eine Schildkröte und eine Seeanemone mit darin lebenden Clownfischen gefunden. Wenn man Glück hat sieht man im Resort auch eine Makakenbande und einen Varan. 5 Tage im Paradies.

The staff of Miniloc get five stars for giving their guests the best experience that beautiful El Nido and the resort can offer.

A wonderful stay with the family. Perfect snorkelling, kayaking & swimming. Excellent excursions. The staff were all really helpful but a special thank you for Jess, Andy & Ruel. Thank you all

The property was well kept, well managed and well run. It had the amenities for truly enjoyable adventurous experience, as well as a quiet relaxing experience. Everything was very clean and tidy and well maintained.

Nothing

Beautiful hotel and location. Free tours available to the small and big lagoons, which due to the proximity arrive before all the remaining tourists arrive, giving a real private experience. Excellent food and facilities. Overall great and friendly staff. We arrived at 09:00 and were allowed to check in to a room straight away (even though ours wasn’t ready yet, we were given another one until ours was ready)

Communication before check in (through booking’s chat) was not the best, which made us book a transfer which wasn’t necessary

The location could not be more beautiful, you don't even need to be in the water to see all the amazing coral and fish, you can see right from the dock in front of the resort. The staff are so friendly and helpful and even created a daily itinerary for us before we arrived so everything was planned perfectly. Having every meal included was also so convenient and the food was good. Just show up and they take care of everything!

You can tell some of the facilities are a little dated but overall still a beautiful property.

The place to be in.

Snorkeling in front of the hotel is great. I was swimming with turtles & jack fishes

Kuya Marlon & Kuya Ben are the best tour guides. over all we are very satisfied with our stay. we will come back 😊

We ABSOLUTELY loved this place! Even tried to change our flights so we could stay longer!!! Staff were soooo good!!! The warmest people! The snorkelling just off the pier was out of this world! I swam with a turtle!!!!!!!!! Worth getting up for the 6am kayak to the big lagoon!

Nothing! They have thought of everything!

とてもよかった

amazing

The whole resort and service was amazing. The food was great. Everyone was so helpful, friendly and passionate about what they do. The location is perfect.

It's the ultimate island vacation one could ever hope for. I liked how we didn't have to worry about anything once we stepped off the airplane in El Nido. I also liked how they made it all-inclusive with the booking—meals, transport arrangements, and island activities. This will definitely not be our last!

One of the most beautiful resorts I’ve ever visited. Most defiantly returning to this beauty!!!

We loved our stay and we will definitely come back and recommend Miniloc to our friends. Definitely worth it! Staff friendliness is exceptional, very accommodating and we felt so pampered the whole time. This is our first time in Palawan, so amazing and we will never forget our experience and stay in Miniloc.Thank you all!

スタッフのサービス、建物の雰囲気、風景すべてにおいて 本当に素晴らしい。 リゾートとして欠点が見当たらないほど。 世界の人々に一度は経験してほしい。

Honestly, one of the best experiences I ever had. Great place for snorkelling, beautiful corals and sea life. Staff were just amazing, nothing to complain. We felt welcome and taken care of constantly. Even more expensive hotels in Maldives cannot compare in hospitality. Even though I got stung by a wasp on my last day, the doctor was very professional, spoke perfect English and took care of me. 10/10 would recommend and definitely come back

Todo perfecto. Lo mejor la localización en una isla cerca de big lagoon y small lagoon. El hotel organiza las actividades de tal manera que estamos solos, sin gente, en lugares con paisajes. espectaculares. Ademas el snornel en la playa del hotel es increíble. También puedes coger un kayak para ir a preciosas playas, cuando ya se han ido los tours y estar solo. Una maravilla

Amazing location, and incredible staff made this a wonderful place to stay! The activities offered make each day an adventure. We travelled with our 6 year old and it was a great place to stay with kids, with games and activities for them to do, plus the staff were excellent with her. Highly recommend!

OMG the best holiday ever! The resort is amazing, staff incredible, no detail missed, including airport lounges! The inclusive activities are next level and OMG the hotel reef is the absolute best! Better than Fiji and great barrier!! Will definitely be returning

Nothing very hard to fault!

10/10 highly recommended. The staff are kind, considerate, and pay attention to all the details. Book your stay, you will want to stay longer.

Beautiful location - great snorkelling- great reefs and marine life on property

Too many people

Foi tudo ótimo . Hotel entre rochedos , visual lindo. Comida muito boa . Passeios incluídos para os principais pontos turísticos , da pra fazer de caiaque por conta própria a big lagoon e uma praia próxima ao hotel.

Great Food, Majestic scenery!.

Everything here was wonderful Would stay here again.

Location was beautiful. Great snorkeling right off the dock!

Food on the buffet wasn’t always hot.

Best resort in Phillipiness

Everything was wonderful

Paradise found, book today. 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. 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.

Resort is dated and needs a remodel.

I cant say enough. the staff, the location is amazing. you have the island for yourself. the coral at the resort is pristine and safe to snorkel. you can also kayak to big and small lagoon. I highly recommend

This place gives you an awesome experience, the location could not be any better, you are just next to the top attractions of el nido, but at the same time, you are on a very private place. The hotel includes complementary tours that cover most of what you would do on El Nido, and they are very easy to be arranged and mixed with the other plans you might have. The hotel is very well maintained, clean, the stuff is very friendly. The buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner is very good, you get different type of foods every day, if you like seafood there will always be a lot of it fresh seafood too. The drinks are very good, and reasonable price. The snorkeling is a great experience, the snorkel kit they provide is good and you can spend many hours swimming around the hotel and finding great and unique fishes. It was a bit hard to plan my arrival, I suggest you contact the hotel at least 2-3 days before you arrive so they can pick you up, for the check out I was allowed to stay a bit more around the hotel and have lunch before going to the airport, unfortunately we had some problems with our flight but the hotel called me to help me and they were very helpful on that. Overall, a great experience for our honeymoon.

Awesome service, hospitality, good food and the activities. We will definitely go back to this resort.

Truly one of the best places you can stay in the world. Could not have asked for more.

The one weakness is the drinks on property could have been better, fortunately they are not overpriced. Also, labeling common allergens on the food would be very welcome and avoid asking the staff repeatablely (who are very helpful)

Excellent, highly recommended!!!

First rate food, service, view, activities. Would go back tomorrow.

Amazing service. We missed our first night due to international flights issue and the hotel was extremely helpful. The hotel also offers a lot of complimentary excursions / activities and they are all worth it! The rooms are nice as well. The location could not be more perfect as it is right next to the big lagoon! and you can kayak there for sunrise and literally be on your own!

The food could probably be improved and the gym was a bit outdated.

Had an amazing stay at Miniloc. Beautiful resort with lovely, warm and helpful staff. Best thing are the activities and proximity to the best sites in El Nido.

Nothing!

員工都很友善熱情

everything! from the warm welcome of the people to the jetty port, the tour guides, all the resort staff in miniloc! big shout out to Anj our tour coordinator and to the onsite manager for making sure that my husband get to have a wonderful birthday celebration even though we need to checkout the day earlier. the food selection were great! i love the fact that they serve traditional pinoy food too which makes my coming home to the phils more memorable. the maruya they served reminded me of my younger summer days I spent with my grandparents in the province… all the tocino and crabs and fresh fish they served not only filled my belly but soul! brings so much memories of me growing up in the phils. thank you to whoever our chef is! also to dang(?) one of the tour guides for making sure i survive the rocky path to secret lagoon and the huge waves of ahimizu island! 3 days is not enough at all! i’ll definitely stay for a week next time… also dont miss the happy hour, if you really want to get a buzz! the bartenders dont skimp on the alcohol 😉 i love their tequila sunrise!

not really the property but the booking. experience such as talking to whoever responds to the inquiries takes a long timeto respond so i was a little stressed when tryi ng to coordinate the trip. the only reason im giving this a 9 instead of perfect 10… ***not really a dsilike but just for full transparency the toilent flush are recycled water from sewage so the toilet kind of stink. maybe the management can have some sort of bathroom diffuser of some sort to minimize that…

Amazing location, very beautiful island and relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious and varied and the staff very friendly and helpful. We loved that they provided tours to Big lagoon and small lagoon during the times when no other tours are there.

location is excellent, staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Great for snorkeling, and boat trips around the island. We really enjoyed the bar and Pool vibe.

The beach rooms are just ok. the bed was not as comfortable as we expected. Still with an excellent view. I recommend staying at a water bungalow instead. Still worth the stay

The location is close to all the sites like the big & small lagoon.

nothing

location Activities the staff

the breakfast is terrible, very few options few western food options for lunch and dinner too you should provide a raincoat for the guests using the speed boat. we can’t get wet going to the airport

peaceful

Good package of activities. Chef James del Rosario was excellent, accommodating our Gluten Free requirements. Thank you!

Transfer time from the airport was way too long. Overpriced.

The package has so many inclusions! We could not fault the place and the staff- everything ran smoothly because of an awesome management team.

Beautiful scenery

everything spectacular excellent food activities staff

perfection! )the gym needs a remodelling )

Everything in the Ayala El Nido Resorts is always impecable. Service is outstanding. Food is excellent and the views are to die for.

エルニド空港からの迎えの依頼は、リゾートと直の連絡ではなくマニラの事務所を通し確認電話を入れることになります。 確認メールを頼んでも送ってこないので不安になり、出発前日に再度確認電話を入れました。 国際線T1-3から国内線エアスウィフトT4の移動も公共バス利用は複雑です。 ツアーでいらっしゃる方が多いのが納得できました。

Quiet hotel, it offers excellent tours to nearby islands, good filipino food
