We loved the spacious beach bungalow....we viewed the tree houses they were top class. We loved the monkeys and that Christine come and got us when they arrived. Staff first class a dream island with fabulous views.

We liked everything however if we was to suggest a little improvement. Firstly the food is well presented but we would like to see some fresh food on the menu. Maybe some fish or a bbq of the evening. Also sea was a little choppy one morning which bought in some plastic and rubbish. We would like to see the rubbish collected and recycled. Other than that an absolutely beautiful resort.

This was an absolutely beautiful resort that exceeded my expectations. It is obvious that the workers work very hard to maintain the beautiful grounds and rooms. This price reflects the amount of work and care that is put into this really special place. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Even the food and particularly Filipino food was amazing (pancit tasted like my moms). Lagoon tour was great with fun local guides. A relaxing paradise and perfect for our family trip with the perfect local Filipino flair - Would definitely come back.

I didn’t mind the alcohol not being available - we brought our own no problem. and definitely contributes to nice visitors to the island (lots of families, couples, no obnoxious spring breakers). Some of the negative reviews on here and others are a little annoying and overblown. No security issues during my stay - our safe broke a wire and they replaced right away, and they make sure you didn’t leave anything behind when you pack up to leave.

If you are looking for a place to isolate and chill, this is the perfect place!! There is one restaurant in the resort and every dish we tasted was excellent!! The staff is the highlight of the place. The staff made this experience amazing. I have never experienced such service consciousness. We really bonded with Jed, Ian and Jonathan, they are amazing and gave us a service we will never forget!

There were some ants in our room, but it's like that in all El Nido. After we told the reception about it, they sprayed our room with anti-ant spray and it helped a lot.

Excellent staff. Excellent food. Special thanks to "Jedd" for making our stay extra special 😊 Location is so amazing! We had some issues at check in, but they took care of it right away. We had fun in the pools, karaoke and kayak to the nearby beach for some private snorkeling. Some other reviews mention bad food, and we disagree strongly. We tried a lot of different food and everything was amazing. We usually asked for whatever the chef recommended that day.

The resort is huge, but a big part of it seems abandoned.

The staff was the star of this resort. They were very nice, helpful, accommodating, and efficient. They provided us with privacy but anticipated whatever we needed and had it ready, sometimes even before we asked. The exclusive beach access was also great. Our beach villa was so comfortable and huge.

The menu options for food were limited. If you stay longer than two days, you will most likely be eating the same things. And they were on the pricey side but that's expected for a luxury resort.

The infinity pool was beautiful with an ocean view but the food wasn't great and there were not so many selections. We ordered chicken adobo and the rice was so over cooked that it almost tasted like porridge.

We had a good time in Matinlok. It's worth it for the money. Our villa was huge but it's only good for 2 people. We have to pay 10,000 pesos more for two extra people just for one day of stay.
