This is the oldest and most original of the three El Nido resorts. It is also the most rustic and compact of the three. It had undergone renovations and sprucing up recently. More rooms have been added but the service remains remarkably pleasant. The food is good. The House lagoon just off the island is enchanting. You can feed the... More

ITI who are the domestic airline from Manila to the resort are professional and efficient. They are strict on the 10kg per person limit. Upon... More

We relocated from two nights at Lagen Island to four nights at Miniloc's deluxe Seaview room (#57). As far as the seaview rooms go, i was totally happy with our room. The water cottages appeared to be nice and might even have a bit of a sunrise view. However, for the time of year we went (May) we didn't see... More

Miniloc is a slice of paradise for the family. Beautiful water, island-hopping, scuba diving, snorkeling, ping pong, basketball, evening kid movies and lectures... The staff was generous with their time and genuinely friendly (greeting us and sending us away singing). You can do as much or as little as you like. Should you choose to do little, you might feel...

we stayed here on our recent vacation to the Philippines and this was the last place we visited, so maybe we were already spoiled a bit. Overall this place is very beautiful but the maintenance needs some work. The staff is eager to please and the service is very friendly. It's a bit out of the way of everything and... More

Did a weekend in Miniloc Island for the first time recently and I have to say it is just breathtaking. One of the best experiences I have had, with each day leaving us spellbound by the islands in the bays beauty. Remote and isolated beaches, snorkeling, secret caves and beaches, amazing kayaking, wildlife viewing, Miniloc has it all and more.... More

We have just returned from Miniloc and once again had a wonderful experience. The accommodation does need some refurbishment but the staff, scenery, snorkelling and the overall experience is amazing. Congratulations to Miniloc for ensuring the area remains pristine and the snorkelling in front of the resort is spectacular. The activities are excellent and without pressure you organise your day...
