Hotel Information
Accommodation
El Nido Resorts – Miniloc Island features a total of 47 rooms that are sleek and modern, yet also charming and warm thanks to the thatched roof and the use of natural materials. Each accommodation has a beautiful, spacious veranda with a lounge corner from which you can relax and enjoy the view of the bay, the beach, or the lush surroundings.
The stilt-built Garden Cottages are 28 m2 in size and scattered throughout the resort’s tropical gardens. These standalone bungalows seem to hover just above the sand, offering privacy and tranquility due to their more secluded location. Surrounding them are the Cliff Garden Cottages, built high against the cliffs. This room type consists of two floors, each with a bedroom, making it ideal for larger groups.
Right on the beach, spread across several two-storey buildings, are the Beachside Rooms, offering 32 m2 of space and overlooking the beach or the pool. The advantage of these rooms is that the bed faces the veranda, providing an idyllic view to wake up to.
The Seaview Rooms are located above the lagoon and are built on stilts. They consist of two floors, offering 43 m2 of space and two bedrooms, making them perfect for a family. Additionally, the Deluxe Seaview Rooms are situated in a two-storey building, offering 44 m2 and allowing you to enjoy the stunning view over Bacuit Bay right from the bed.
Finally, on the side of the bay, there are some Water Cottages, built on stilts and overlooking the bay. With the cliffs as a backdrop and the sea at your doorstep, you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings in complete privacy.
Restaurants
Dining is available at the Miniloc Clubhouse Restaurant, located in the heart of the resort on the beach. You can visit here throughout the day for international and local dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bar, situated directly by the sea, is a cozy spot to gather for a drink while enjoying the view or playing a game of pool. Upon request, picnic lunches can be arranged on the beach.
Swimming pool
The resort features a beautiful elongated swimming pool right on the beach, offering stunning views across the bay. On the beach, there are various cabanas where you can sit protected from the strong sun under a thatched roof.
Spa & Wellness
There is no full-service spa, but at the end of the pier where the Water Cottages are located, there is an intimate al fresco massage pavilion. Due to its location, the pavilion offers an unobstructed view of the bay with the cliffs in the background.
Activities
The Philippines is the ultimate paradise for exploring over the water. The El Nido Resort also offers carefully curated island-hopping adventures, allowing you to easily visit the beaches and lagoons in the area. Visit Snake Beach, the Big Lagoon, or Hidden Beach, each equally beautiful with their own character. Snorkel along coral reefs, over the house reef just outside your doorstep, or kayak through the lagoon and crystal-clear waters, then relax on pristine sandbanks while enjoying the picturesque views.
You can also explore the mangroves during a guided walk.
Furthermore, the resort has its own dive school.
Child-friendly
The resort features a kids' club and a playground with play equipment. Additionally, there are accommodations consisting of two floors with two bedrooms, making them perfect for staying with children and family.
Sustainability
Born out of a love for organizing diving trips, El Nido Resorts is more aware than anyone of the impressive natural environment in which it is located. That is why the resorts are developed in such a way that they are seamlessly integrated into the surroundings. The use of sustainable materials and initiatives certainly contribute to this. There is always a focus on higher standards for sustainable development regarding the resorts. As a result, the sustainability policy is continuously refined, with activities and social involvement being expanded.
In addition to providing a relaxing experience, it is important that guests are aware of minimizing their impact on the beautiful natural environment.
Some initiatives:
- Adhering to the Be G.R.E.E.N principle that the resort follows
- Collaborating with the local community by creating employment opportunities and purchasing from local entrepreneurs
- Creating opportunities for guests to get acquainted with nature and the local community
- Water and energy conservation
