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.

Localización maravillosa
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

It was a great place to spend the night and be the first to see the Secret Lagoon in private and avoid the crowd. There are lots of activities and everything is included except alcohol and spa services. It's pretty quiet at night with no transport to or from the resort after 2pm and El Nido is about 45mins away by boat. All meals are served buffet style. Staff is extremely helpful and grounds are well maintained.

They all about getting your money and when you ask them something they act like they don’t understand English. We were told that transports to and from the island was free but charged us for going back 200 US dollars because we left 10 min early because we had a flight to catch ....
