My stay at El Nido Resorts Miniloc Island was truly unforgettable, thanks to its breathtaking location, stunning views, and the all-inclusive activities that kept my family engaged throughout our stay. The rooms were cozy but had amazing views and were well-maintained. One downside was that the food, while decent, didn't quite wow us. However, the overall experience was a fantastic value for what we received, especially with all the included excursions.

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.
