Miniloc Island Vacations from $230

Firstly, the location is absolutely amazing. Lots of things just around the hotel & it is on a beach. However, the room was much smaller than expected. There was no hot water available & lacked water pressure as well. The water in the taps was visibly yellow. The water provided by the hotel also tasted very weird. Overall, it is an average hotel.

Lihim Resort in El Nido was an absolutely amazing world-class experience for us. The service and professionalism of the staff is absolutely top notch and far exceeded our expectations. The way the resort is designed allows you to experience the beauty of nature in El Nido while simultaneously enjoying a luxurious villa that is well appointed and thoughtfully designed. Restaurant Gana at the resort has some of the best Filipino food we have had in the Philippines, but can also serve great dishes for those that prefer more western cuisine. We participated in two boat tours, one of which included trips to Lihim’s private lagoon in Cadlao, and a private beach in Hayag. These trips were the highlights of our travels, with amazing views, delicious lunches, and wonderful guides. We can’t recommend this feature enough! If you stay here you must take a boat tour at least once.

The staff and their willingness to help us in any way was exceptional.. They all were extremely kind and went out of their way to help us with transportation, help finding places,to go see , and breakfasts were ready at our preferred time each morning and with a greeting and smiling face.. rooms were comfortable and clean but The TV could be in a better spot for viewing if you plan to watch anything .. Over-all we were very happy with the stay there .We will stay again for the price and especially the service..

One El Nido suites is exactly as described, although the location is at the north end of Coron Coron beach and not where Expedia shows it. This was better for us as we could walk to El Nido beach town in 10 minutes. You are also right next to the jetty at Coron beach which is excellent for island hopping tours. The facilities and breakfast are basic but what you would expect from a 3 hotel. The staff are really helpful and friendly, even helping me setup a local SIM card on my phone. There is a convenience store next door and across the road that pretty much sell everything you might need and restaurants at Coron beach are within walking distance.

Pros - • very affordable • friendly and helpful staff • easy to get tuktuk (local taxi/bikes) from outside the entrance Cons - • aircon doesn’t work very well • Walls are paper thin • There was a window at the top of the wall in the room, when I stood on the bed to see what was outside i found that it looked straight into someone else’s room… very strange. Overall, for the price, I’d say that it was pretty good, and was fine for the 1 night we booked, but i wouldn’t want to stay here for too many nights.
