Food at Miniloc Island Resort

When staying at Miniloc Island Resort, one doesn't have to worry about food because rates include access to Miniloc's Clubhouse Restaurant morning, noon, and night.

Staying at Miniloc Island Resort

When I first visited El Nido a couple of years back, I vowed to return with my nature loving family. I just knew that they would appreciate the beauty of El Nido as much as I did.

Unlike last time where I stayed at the more private and secluded Lagen Island Resort, my family and I spent two nights at Miniloc Island Resort. 

Miniloc Island Resort caters to families with its rustic and native design, buffet style meals, and facilities for the young and young at heart.

Though Miniloc is less luxurious than Lagen, it's not wanting in facilities:

There are several room options at Miniloc Island Resort and here are the rooms we got to see.

The Garden Cottage room is the most affordable room in Miniloc.

It's compact but can accommodate up to 3 people. Perfect for families with teenagers who want to be on their own.

Another room option is the Seaview room. This veranda offers breathtaking views of the sea.

The Seaview room can accommodate up to 4 people with its loft layout.

It can feel claustrophobic staying at the attic though.

Miniloc Island Resort also has Deluxe Seaview Rooms.

The Deluxe Seaview Room is less rustic with its concrete walls and high ceilings. It's ideal for parents who are after the comforts of the city.

Though spacious at 44sqm, the Deluxe Seaview Room is only good for 2 people.

Overall, we were happy with the rooms we booked with Miniloc Island Resort. Although far from being luxurious, the Miniloc rooms were clean and comfortable,  perfect for some rest and relaxation.

My next  entry will be about the food at Miniloc Island Resort!
