From the time you arrive at the airport in El Nido, Palawan, you will be greeted by the personnel of the resort with a big smile and welcome song. At the arrival lounge, guests are treated to "biko" (native sweet rice) and refreshments. After that, you will be approached by a "coordinator" of the resort, assigned to your family. He... More

So, I won't go into the details, but safe to say our babymoon got off to a rather shaky start. Torrential downpours, flood warnings. Thailand wasn't playing ball. In the space of 24 hours, jetlagged and more than a little peeved, we managed to book an entirely new holiday from the safety of our room in Koh Samui as the... More

We have been to some amazing islands in the Maldives, but Miniloc was as good if not better. The incredible welcome with all the staff singing to us.

Our son, a travel writer, had been here several years ago and had been urging us to try it ever since. It was no disappointment, Islands and rock formations never got boring.

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

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
