Staying at Miniloc Resort was an incredible experience. The overwater bungalow was charming and provided stunning views, while the snorkeling at the house reef was absolutely out of this world. The buffet dining was enjoyable, but I did wish there was a bit more variety after a few days. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming. However, the limited space to walk around the resort could be a downside for some. Overall, it's a great value for money with the plethora of activities available.
