Nice island resort stay in El Nido
Great views and very attentive staff. We had a Swedish massage and it was amazing. Maybe the food options can be improved. We did kayak tour to the a deserted beach and it was beautiful.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I like a lot the beach and the position, the care and attention by the working team and the excursions to the nearby islands that I believe it is a must should you are getting there from far away. The restaurant is a bit expensive compare to shore ones (but it is also an island and logistic cost) and the excursions are a bit expensive but they were private ones and we really had a good time and enjoyed them all.

Perfect dreamy stay on a semi private resort to have a couple of days in addition to a longer stay in El Nido (in the mai island). Wouldn't suggest to spend your whole holiday there
Andrea, 2-night trip

Secluded, private resort, luxurious rooms just feet from the ocean, beach faces east for gorgeous sunrises

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing staff, quiet location, beautiful scenery, and overall wonderful experience! My husband had a memorable birthday trip and we truly enjoyed our stay. Shoutout to Mr. Choi (GM), Jhonna, Niño, Dave, Julia and Rassel for the exceptional service in their different areas. We felt really taken care of. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Charie Marie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was exceptional. If you want a true getaway from it all this place is it. Not much to do but sit at the beach, swim in the ocean, or in the two pools. Wish there were more dining options on site, but the smoothies and juices were excellent!

It was relaxing and peaceful. I loved being able to walk out of the villa and beach a few feet away or listen ti the waves from the fromt room.
Reynae, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

We have limited meal options. No beef meal was available when we stayed due to limited/no supply following a big event. Otherwise, we have an excellent stat. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, especially David Austria, who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The GM, James, was very personable. The scenery is to die for! Very quiet and serene.
Marryjane, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The setting was beautiful. It reminded me of fantasy island. The was excellent. Just pick alcohol before you get on the boat in case you want to drink.
John, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

An incredible resort but unfortunately paid for 2 Signature Suites and one was completely different than the other. Not sure how a tree house room is considered a suite and paid the same price for the other room which was 2 times bigger.
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing. Incredibly attentive staff, beautiful and LARGE room, and most important all, stunning beauty. As many others have noted, it's a dry resort and they don't sell alcohol on premises, so if you want to drink just get some drinks to bring in El Nido.
Samuel, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

STAY AWAY HORRIBLE
Horrible overall from the moment of the airport arrival. They messed up the airport shuttle and pick up. We arrived at 2:15pm I’m travelling with my 72 year old mother. We were told by the manager we could order and eat even if the kitchen was closed. They took our order an hour later they told us what we ordered was not available. We had to beg for food. Another hour in we got the wrong order. The next day we book the tour which is at least 5 times pricier than the same tour booked in town since we wanted convenience. The boat broke down and we got stuck in the middle of the bay after being given the wrong information of what’s included and wrong start time. They said 9 am at 8:10 they called that we were late. I asked for no kayak as my mom can’t do kayak we were assured no kayak. I had to then explain to the tour operator as they didn’t send any notes. Then the cherry on the Sunday we both got very aggressive good poisoning. Plead with the owners to give us meds and water or rehydration which took a while. Owner didn’t want to take accountability and his peace offering was to wave one of the buffet charges. I had to complain to the department of tourism to get all meal fees removed. Overall room condition is dated. Resort doesn’t have hot water. Wifi sucks. There’s a dirty water discharge by the dock in the harbour in the morning. This place should be inspected by the health department and the environmental agency and shut down!
Pierre, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved our stay at Matinloc. It’s giving “White Lotus” and coming during the down season, we felt like we had the place to ourselves for quite a bit of the stay. Great food, great spa, nice gym; make sure to do their private island hopping tours! They bring the snorkel gear and kayaks, it was such a special and intimate experience. We will be back!
Alexander, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Thank you Matinloc and staff for a wonderful experience! Special shout-out to Wilmer for making our private tour memorable. He’s also an excellent photographer! Your experience will definitely depend on your style of travel. If you’re looking for a relaxed/quiet trip, this hotel will fit well in your itinerary. If you’re looking to party and enjoy the nightlife, I would suggest a different hotel in located in El Nido itself. The only con is there’s no alcohol (subjective) and their food menu since it’s very limited, but then again, you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Ferdinand, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I like the staff. They are very friendly. The place is luxury if...only if well maintain! The pool behind the restaurant is slippery and dirty. The front pool was ok but we spotted snake by the pool! The beach has white sand but lots of seaweeds and a few garbage. My breakfast bread has hair and that night, my milkshake has styrofoam! Poor management, unfortunately.
