Made Tripadvisor account for this! It was really agreat experience in this resort, I do have Pros and Cons on this resort and lets start with Pros

Pros
1. Workers are very friendly and the hospitality is phenomenal.
2. Its in secluded island so you have to take a boat to get here from the main town, its very quiet and peaceful
3. Great beach and they have a sand bar where you take the kayak for free to explore
4. Food is great and breakfast are free
5. Bed are comfortable and have jacuzzi inside the room as well
6. They have infinity pool and another pool which is saltwater

Cons
1. The boat are not included in the price, and they need new speedboat, water was getting into it and they have to use a bucket to remove the water.
2. the loading dock is 9/10 dangerous, so if you are handicapped, I dont recommend, they have to carry you and pray you get there safely
3. Sand Bar has trash on them. They need to clean that island, i almost step on broken wine glass
4. Room plumbing are broken, toilet is leaking and the faucet is loose.
5. If you have Tour boat from outside source, they cant dock on this island (but I think this is El Nido policy so Im not sure) you have to pay the hotel boat to get into the mainland to meet your tour
6. They have their own Tour Boat but its sooo expensive
7. Food are ok, especially the korean cuisine, its not good.

We visited Matinlok Resort this winter and had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly and courteous and reay to assist woth your needs. The island hopping tour was fun. Our tour guide turned into a photographer, snorkel instructor, and all around information guru. He was awesome. Later in our stay he showed some nice snorkeling spots at the resort. We even found Nemo 🫣🤣.
The restaurant is very nice. The menu is kind of limited but there is definitely something for everyone. They even got us some Mantis Shrimp for a small added fee. Fresh fish is definitely the way to go. The Red Snapper was fresh and delicious. We give Matinloc Resort 5 stars for cost and experience.

We had a wonderful time at the Matinloc Resort. The Matinloc Resort is located in one of the most beautiful locations in the El Nido area of Palawan. The resort is the perfect getaway if you prefer a “less touristy” location. If you visit this resort, please ask for Jed as your Island Hoping Guide as he will ensure that your experience is a good one. Not an inexpensive resort, but we felt the extra cost was well worth the memories made here. If we had it to do it over again, we would have spent more time at Matinloc (we stayed three days) as opposed to splitting our time between El Nido and Puerto Princessa.
