We had a post reunion trip to Miniloc in El Nido, Palawan for 3 days and 2 nights. We stayed in this cute air conditioned well furnished bungalow a short walking distance from the beach, pool and restaurant.
Provided were 3 delicious buffet style meals with a variety of Filipino & Intrrnational or Western food.
Island hopping tours were included with a chance for swimming, snorkeling,kayaking and hiking. Our tour guides were attentive to our needs, followed safety rules and suggested the best places to see including a sunset/sunrise cruise and secret beach.
Overall it was a memorable experience, and highly recommended to anyone wishing to visit El Nido

Paradise takes different shapes. In El Nido, it is some of the most beautiful scenery combined with some of the most wonderful people.
El Nido Resorts at Miniloc Island is the longest-estableshed among the four but it is just renovated so everything is pristine -- even the thatched roofs look shiny:) It certainly has the Filipino charm as compared to Lagen. And the newly built infinity pool is a nice addition.
You should choose Miniloc (against other 3 resorts of the same group) if you seek to engage in all sorts of activities: the lagoons, secret beaches, beach clubs or snorkeling -- Miniloc is at the center of all the actions. Also, the view of Miniloc itself is National Geographic worthy. Living in some of the most spectacular place in the world is certainly a treat.
The people at Miniloc are just wonderful. A small example: we had the flight to Manila at 8 on the last day, so we needed to move out at 5:30 am. When I open the door at 5 am, I found the concierge already waiting before our door and ready to pick up our luggages -- they simply will take care of everything. They will make a schedule for you according to your preferences. When a schedule is made, they will also help you to take note and notify you whenever necessary. Even every meal was well thought-out.
OK, speaking of the food, I actually enjoyed local food as there were well made. They offer typical western food as well. We didi not feel boring after 7 days.
Room was comfy and our deluxe sea view and beach cottage were both very charming and had great view. Okay, I wish they could fit in a bath tub but then when you think about water conservation -- well I can live without one easily!
One of the best feature of the resort is its house reef -- you will see almost every kinds of sea life just at the doorstep. Just amazing.
I am so grateful that I have been to such a beautiful place. I'd like to thank all the staff for giving us a wonderful and memorable time there.

We had a wonderful family vacation at El Nido Resorts Miniloc Island. Guests are well taken care of from the moment they pass through security at the airport even in Manila. El Nido Resorts guests get their own little lounge at the old domestic terminal in Manila. We were picked up at the airport then by El Nido Resorts staff and taken to the dock for a private boat ride directly to the resort. The activities/staff member who accompanied us from the airport ended up being our activities guide throughout the entire trip since we were a family of 10. His name is Oliver and he was amazing!

We stayed in the water cottages and while they were quite small, they are newly renovated and with AMAZING views. It somehow stayed free of any bugs and was cleaned well daily. Food is good but nothing phenomenal. For every meal, they always had a decent selection of both Filipino food and non-Filipino foods. Of course, the Filipino food was better. Everything at the resort is included except for the spa and drinks, but prices were a good value. The best part about staying here (and any El Nido Resorts hotel) is that all the activities and boat rides are included. Each activity or island visit is done at a specific time each day, but with even just 2 full days, you could pretty much cover everything on the activities menu. Our favorites were kayaking in the Small Lagoon and Big Lagoon, visiting the Secret Lagoon, snorkeling at Shimizu Island, and snorkeling with the jackfish and other fishes right in front of the hotel. You can also go to other islands owned by El Nido Resorts that have beach clubs to have included lunch at, relax on the beach, or enjoy in other beach activities.

The service and staff here was wonderful as well. We were always well taken care of, especially on our island hopping activities. But even at the resort itself, everyone really went out of their way to provide good service to their guests. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in El Nido except for one of the El Nido Resorts hotels, but Miniloc Island was wonderful, especially for families.

The newly renovated Miniloc Island Resort did not disappoint. The face lift and the addition of an infinity pool sure gave the resort a new life. The service, as with other El Nido Resorts, was impeccable as always. The staff were attentive and efficient. Land and boat transfers were swift and safe.

Being all inclusive, you don’t need to worry about paying extra for food and activities. There is a wide selection of activities offered by the resort. The location of Miniloc is perfect if you’d like to visit the Small Lagoon, Big Lagoon and Entalula Island (plus other scenic locations). They also have a snorkeling spot right in front of the resort where they feed fishes on a schedule.

Definitely one of the BEST resort in the Philippines! We enjoyed our stay so much that we haven’t even left the resort but we were already planning our next stay!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
