The staff were very friendly and helpful, we were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival to get upgraded to a Sea/Mountain view villa, and the accommodations were very nice! This definitely enhanced our 7-day stay. Housekeeping were on top of things, and kept our room clean and tidy. Had one small issue with the hot water disappearing one day, but as soon as we notified staff they were on it and fixed it immediately. The only area in which our experience would have been enhanced is an expansion of the menu. All of the Filipino dishes were very good, but the menu was somewhat limited, particularly for breakfast. If your stay is only a couple of days this likely won’t be an issue, but for a week a bit more variety would be nice. However, this was not enough to take my rating down to a 4\. There are too many other great things that make the Matinloc Island Resort well worth visiting. We would definitely return for a second visit. Will try to post a few pics if I can once posted to Expedia. Words alone don’t do the place justice. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc8e832d-4200-4589-9701-ab2cf0053439-1765844311959.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c4952609-e5f8-4a3f-925d-0c0975a8226b-1765844314278.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/564a2a85-b9ad-43f4-8dc9-0ecfb50af7de-1765844310422.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ce59fe8-4192-4a94-8bad-98ea6d691a28-1765844312794.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brent Ethan Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerstin 1 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A perfect hideaway made for special moments ##### Kerstin Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricardo geronimo 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very peaceful and relaxing! ##### Ricardo geronimo Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay with great view and friendly staff Peaceful and quiet stay. relaxing ang chill. the place is great to stay, excellent views.

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. ##### roberto Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley 18 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfection Fantastic stay.

I thought it was Miniloc. But, I was pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with the customer service and persistent attention to details. Russel was super helpful. John was extremely cautious and careful in handling senior citizens during the lagoon tour. EJ was so pleasant during the welcome tour. Most of all, Mr James trained and managed his staff well. I will definitely be back with more guests.

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 Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew 18 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### 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. ##### Matthew Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RORESTE D 6 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C40D5702CA52E69BA46E2EE979367F6FD88637181709746483868.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/91236A604C8D2AF767D7EC7CDFC7B90BF9B2363C1709746483541.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Big Lagoon](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BF62B609A253B1A44D2893AC6D55239E37BDD7931709746483738.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Snake Island](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3A6E9F08361FCB1AE2451ACBF18FE7EBC706DF481709746483324.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### RORESTE D Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tahlia 18 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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. ##### Tahlia Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward 30 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities secluded, very quiet ##### Edward Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lalaine 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Will stay here again ##### Lalaine Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Movenpick-Hotel-Mactan-Island-Cebu.h1192069.Hotel-Information) > > [The Funny Lion El Nido](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-The-Funny-Lion-El-Nido.h88935484.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rhodes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels.d11286.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Siargao Island Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/General-Luna-Hotels-Siargao-Island-Villas.h19384669.Hotel-Information) > > [Flory's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liloan-Hotels-Florys-Inn.h15435100.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakawon Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cadiz-City-Hotels-Lakawon-Island-Resort.h48718784.Hotel-Information) > > [Campuestohan Highland Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talisay-Hotels-Campuestohan-Highland-Resort.h35238602.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Hillthwaite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Hillthwaite.h6384425.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Reykjavik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels.d6054688.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in El Arenal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Arenal-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d184241-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Palm Plaza Marrakech Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Palm-Plaza-Marrakech-Hotel-Spa.h2543606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beeches](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashby-De-La-Zouch-Hotels-The-Beeches.h25094651.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Shangri-La-Mactan.h190534.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Angoulême](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angouleme-Hotels.d383.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Puerta del Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nerja-Hotels-Puerta-Del-Mar.h1526962.Hotel-Information) > > [tent Arenal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llucmajor-Hotels-Pinero-Hotel-Tal.h4960961.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis budget London Heathrow Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-London-Heathrow-Central.h72386009.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in International Drive District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/International-Drive-District-Orlando-Hotels.0-n6034244-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Saalbach-Hinterglemm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Apartments.d180981-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Savoy Hotel Mactan Cebu near Newtown Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Savoy-Hotel-Mactan-Newtown.h41903828.Hotel-Information) > > [Aureo La Union](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Fernando-Hotels-Aureo-La-Union.h16099636.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel ICON](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kowloon-Hotels-Hotel-ICON.h4247437.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagen Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Lagen-Island-Resort.h1231565.Hotel-Information) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
