Matinloc Island Hotels

"Very good"

"ROOM I had the Casita Deluxe (villa type accomodation). There are only two of these available. Both front the water and I would consider them the best option for the hotel. Coming in second best is the casita rooms, I think there is between 3-5 of these rooms available. Only one fronts onto the water, but the others are still lovely and you can see the water from the front balcony. Double gem is one of the best resorts along corongcorong. There are maybe 2 fancy ones, but a very different price range. There is room for improvement. The room and sheets were clean. Clean towels were given. The safe worked. Aircon and fridges always worked well. LOCATION The location of corong corong is good - many options for convenience stores, laundry, food etc. it has everything. It is only a 10 min trike to the other more northern el nido beach location which is 100-150 peso. I’d prefer to stay on corongcorong as you can swim in the beach and it has beautiful sunsets (unlike el nido beach). SERVICES The service from all of the workers is great. Jong from the bar (with the little ponytail) was so happy and helpful all of the time. We watched him deal with some unpleasant people and he handled it very well. Always made great drinks and had great service. Jovert (I think is his name) helped with our bags, and anything we needed help with. We would be sitting at the pool and he would be rushing by to help guests, all with a smile. BREAKFAST "

"Fantastic stay. Noud, his wife and the entire staff at the hotel are wonderful and could not be more helpful. We stayed here for four nights and it was great. The hotel is immaculate and super clean. Breakfast is great each day with lots of choice and deliciously cooked. The location works really well as El Nido is a super noisy town. You are far enough away to dampen the noice but you can easily walk into town in around 6-7 minutes. Overall a great stay hosted by lovely people. "

"Great on all levels, food staff and service "

"Hotel in good location. Rooms are very basic & need better furniture, (wardrobe door & shower doors did not work). Very good breakfast & friendly staff."

"Beautiful hotel, food is amazing, views epic. Only negative is Lawin room, a beach front cottage backs on to a very noisy bar, the music should stop at 10pm, it didn’t one night and the hotel did respond and speak to the bar and they provide earplugs. But whilst having evening showers you do feel like you are at a youth hostel disco! With the base coming into the room. I would definitely stay at this hotel again but ask not to be near the bar. "

"The service, spa and room was all great and great location can walk to all sorts of restaurants. Food for lunch and dinner could be a little better. "

"Staff"

"Nice hotel. Great staff. Excellent pool and sun deck. Good restaurants in the hotel. Wall to Coron is 15 min. Or $50-$100 tricycle ride. Walk to El Nido town is about 30 min, or $100-$150 tricycle ride. Lots of stuff around the hotel too for food. "
