Excellent stay with great view and friendly staff

Peaceful and quiet stay. relaxing ang chill. the place is great to stay, excellent views. We were even upgraded to beach villa. staff are friendly and helpful. restaurant has a variety of international and local cuisines. Tried tasty grouper shashimi straight from the sea. they have a cage for live fish and we just pick the one we need. would definitely come back. wifi is 250MBPS in a very remote area. so I was also able to do some work.

Nice island resort stay in El Nido

Great views and very attentive staff. We had a Swedish massage and it was amazing. Maybe the food options can be improved. We did kayak tour to the a deserted beach and it was beautiful.

Excellent hotel and highly recommend. Only complaint is the cost to goto town and there are lots of bugs so expect some bug bites. Staff are so friendly!

Perfect dreamy stay on a semi private resort to have a couple of days in addition to a longer stay in El Nido (in the mai island). Wouldn't suggest to spend your whole holiday there

I like a lot the beach and the position, the care and attention by the working team and the excursions to the nearby islands that I believe it is a must should you are getting there from far away. The restaurant is a bit expensive compare to shore ones (but it is also an island and logistic cost) and the excursions are a bit expensive but they were private ones and we really had a good time and enjoyed them all.

The staff was exceptional. If you want a true getaway from it all this place is it. Not much to do but sit at the beach, swim in the ocean, or in the two pools. Wish there were more dining options on site, but the smoothies and juices were excellent!

No activities offered, paid for a room with a terrace and got a horrible one instead, old, looks dirty, employees don’t speak good English, food not recommended. Rip off for price I paid, over priced, rooms not as described! Not happy with my stay at all!

We have limited meal options. No beef meal was available when we stayed due to limited/no supply following a big event. Otherwise, we have an excellent stat. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, especially David Austria, who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The GM, James, was very personable. The scenery is to die for! Very quiet and serene.

An incredible resort but unfortunately paid for 2 Signature Suites and one was completely different than the other. Not sure how a tree house room is considered a suite and paid the same price for the other room which was 2 times bigger.

Thank you Matinloc and staff for a wonderful experience! Special shout-out to Wilmer for making our private tour memorable. He’s also an excellent photographer! Your experience will definitely depend on your style of travel. If you’re looking for a relaxed/quiet trip, this hotel will fit well in your itinerary. If you’re looking to party and enjoy the nightlife, I would suggest a different hotel in located in El Nido itself. The only con is there’s no alcohol (subjective) and their food menu since it’s very limited, but then again, you’re in the middle of nowhere.

Too expensive for this property. If you don’t have a tour day you don’t have nothing to do there. No hiking places, you can’t go out of property, no entertainment. The tours are more expensive than other places. Oh! I forgot! They don’t serve any alcohol beverage and when you are there you don’t have any options to buy because there are nothing around. The staff are really nice people. For us this property is overrated.

A great look from Matinloc

Despite the fact that they don’t serve alcohol in this resort, we had a great time. We did mange to score some beers in town and brought a few bottles in our checked bags. The general manager of the resort even offered to open our bottle of champagne for dinner. The place was breathtaking and supplemented by their warm and hospitable staff. Take advantage of their great breakfast service- lots of choices, and served till 10. I would absolutely recommend to take the tour/s they offer. Unlike the tours in town, their’s are personalized. They size you up and provide all the gear you need, a catered lunch and a super guide named Wilner. He took great pictures of us and our group. They offer great massages after a long day of island hopping. Christopher bent over backwards to help us with our transfer from the airport with our delayed flight. Overall, it was worth every penny. Is there anything that needs improvement? We weren’t wow’ed by their dinner selection, specially from an upscale resort. Nevertheless, my wife and I had a wonderful time here and we look forward to taking our kids next time.

The property is "ok." Rooms were decent and bed was comfy. A/C worked well but the temperature in February was very nice that you really didn't need it. Food was pretty decent but you do have to pay for it (except for breakfast). Overall, I had a relaxing time but I think I will try another island resort property.

I made a mistake booking this hotel. I thought it was Miniloc. But, I was pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with the customer service and persistent attention to details. Russel was super helpful. John was extremely cautious and careful in handling senior citizens during the lagoon tour. EJ was so pleasant during the welcome tour. Most of all, Mr James trained and managed his staff well. I will definitely be back with more guests. Highly recommend

STAY AWAY HORRIBLE

Horrible overall from the moment of the airport arrival. They messed up the airport shuttle and pick up. We arrived at 2:15pm I’m travelling with my 72 year old mother. We were told by the manager we could order and eat even if the kitchen was closed. They took our order an hour later they told us what we ordered was not available. We had to beg for food. Another hour in we got the wrong order. The next day we book the tour which is at least 5 times pricier than the same tour booked in town since we wanted convenience. The boat broke down and we got stuck in the middle of the bay after being given the wrong information of what’s included and wrong start time. They said 9 am at 8:10 they called that we were late. I asked for no kayak as my mom can’t do kayak we were assured no kayak. I had to then explain to the tour operator as they didn’t send any notes. Then the cherry on the Sunday we both got very aggressive good poisoning. Plead with the owners to give us meds and water or rehydration which took a while. Owner didn’t want to take accountability and his peace offering was to wave one of the buffet charges. I had to complain to the department of tourism to get all meal fees removed. Overall room condition is dated. Resort doesn’t have hot water. Wifi sucks. There’s a dirty water discharge by the dock in the harbour in the morning. This place should be inspected by the health department and the environmental agency and shut down!
