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!

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.

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.

Matinloc island is stunning and the staff are really friendly at the hotel. However, the property does need some renovations. There were broken boards around the pool and the building my room was in seemed to be “abandoned” on the floors above. It was strange that just the bottom floor rooms were complete and upstairs was neglected. My toilet dripped and would wake me up. I asked if this could be looked at but it wasn’t. My AC also stopped working for the last night.
Also the food was a let down. With only one restaurant, it was disappointing that the food was really not a highlight. Breakfast was a buffet but was cold and had flies over the open food. Lunch and dinner had similar menus but overall weren’t enjoyable. I understand being on a private island has restrictions but it was disappointing. The no alcohol didn’t bother me at all and many other guests brought their own.
Overall a stunning location with friendly staff but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend based on the reasons above.

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.
