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.

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.

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.

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!

A great look from Matinloc
Despite the fact that they don’t serve alcohol in this resort, we had a great time. We did mange to score some beers in town and brought a few bottles in our checked bags. The general manager of the resort even offered to open our bottle of champagne for dinner. The place was breathtaking and supplemented by their warm and hospitable staff. Take advantage of their great breakfast service- lots of choices, and served till 10. I would absolutely recommend to take the tour/s they offer. Unlike the tours in town, their’s are personalized. They size you up and provide all the gear you need, a catered lunch and a super guide named Wilner. He took great pictures of us and our group. They offer great massages after a long day of island hopping. Christopher bent over backwards to help us with our transfer from the airport with our delayed flight. Overall, it was worth every penny. Is there anything that needs improvement? We weren’t wow’ed by their dinner selection, specially from an upscale resort. Nevertheless, my wife and I had a wonderful time here and we look forward to taking our kids next time.

the good and the bad
The good: - beach access is great with some decent snorkelling - scenery/views are gorgeous - large rooms - nice to be on a private island - resort staff is exceptional! The less good: - it is expensive to go visit the town of El Nido while on the resort. It's 2,000 Pesos for 2 people if a boat is already scheduled for guest departures/arrivals, and if not it's 10,000 Pesos. - their island tours are very expensive. We paid 25,000 Pesos (including service fees) for two of us; if we had booked this from El Nido town it would have been 10-13,000 Pesos (including service fees). - the restaurant is mediocre, expensive for the Philippines. - there were renovations happening during our stay to prepare for a VIP guest and for Lunar New Year. It was two days of loud "sound testing" with huge speakers, and constant pounding and sawing to install equipment.
