The properties attention to detail. The staff was all courteous, professional and hospitable, they went above and beyond. We felt so pampered from the moment we stepped out of the plane to when we get back to the plane. Our stay was well orchestrated . It really exceeded my expectations,

“Miniloc has exceeded expectations in all areas - from airport to airport! The WOW-factor is at 10 because we felt soooo taken cared of from pick up at airport - with special VIP lounge to the warm welcome with songs and snacks , to the very personal greetings of their staff all up to the end - EXCELLENT SERVICE WAS CONSISTENT!
Paying full board is so well worth it since it includes all the excursions in the big and small lagoons among others. THE SNORKLING AREA BY MINILOC'S IS D'BEST! We will definitley come back! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!”

“Pros:
- The best thing is diving center with Jimbo as the dive master. My husband was the only one who was diving so we had private dives with Jimbo two days in the row. Jimbo is the best asset that this resort has and if you want to dive in Philippines, make sure to do it here with Jimbo. He made this experience the best that it would be. He was carrying and always smiling, super positive person that was the best underwater guide that you could imagine. Thank you once again for making this stay so special to us.
- beautiful location with amazing views
- you can do all the activities before the places got crowded which is a great experience”

“Tout est magnifique
Les excursions free de qualité car en petits groupes et dans un time où vous serez les seuls au monde
Pour les amateurs de snorkeling c est topissime
Nourriture parfait
Chambre un peu petite pour tatillonner
Service de transferts digne d un 5*
Bref allez y les yeux fermés

“Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits dans la chambre deluxe vue mer no 64 la dernière au bout de la jetée. Aucun vis a vis si ce n'est quelques locaux qui prennent leur bateau.
Je recommande le tour en kayak à big lagoon a 6h du mat inclus dans le prix de la chambre. Seuls dans le lagon, top. Nous avons egalement fait Small lagoon tres sympa aussi car visite l'après-midi quand les touristes partent. Les 2 sont à 5 mi. De l'hôtel. Lautre excursion comprise est un tour de 4h vers secret lagoon, une belle plage et du snorkeling cetait bien mais trop de monde sur les sites et le snorkeling est aussi joli a l'hôtel.
Devant l'hôtel très jolis coraux, etoiles de mer bleures avec de jolis poissons même s'ils ne sont pas extrêmement nombreux et tous les matins une tortue à qui ils donnent a manger.
Cote nourriture, elle est tres bonne mais le choix n'est pas immense donc sur 4 jours cela peut etre répétitif.
Côté boissons, l'hôtel n'en parle pas mais il existe un forfait boissons à 3800 peso par personne par jour donc un peu plus de 60 euros, au dela de 5 verres par jour cela vaut le coup de le prendre car les boissons sont tres chères 650 peso soit 10 euros pour une bière alors que dans les autres hotels c'est moins de 200 peso.
Le personnel de l'hôtel est tres accueillant et se plie en 4 pour vous faire plaisir
Pour résumer nous avons passé 4 jours de rêve dans un lieu idyllique, les paysages sont magnifiques ”
Words can not describe how much love this place, you have to experience it.

“일단 삼시세끼 조식 메뉴가 4일동안 매번 매일 다 다르고 맛있었습니다. 4일동안 10끼 이상 먹으면 메뉴가 겹칠 법도 한데, 다 다르더군요. 숙소도 넓고 편합니다. 다만 침대가 조금 딱딱해서 아쉬웠는데, 체크아웃하는 날 모든게 다 좋았지만 그부분은 좀 아쉬웠다고 카운터에 얘기하니 '왜 미리 얘기 안했냐고, 우리가 바꿔줬을텐데'라고 얘기하더군요. 근데 이런거 저런거 다 떠나서 여기 경치가 진짜 좋습니다. 해변도 이쁘고 뒤에 자연과 절벽, 가끔 보이는 원숭이들에 바로 앞 바다에 들어가면 보이는 거북이에 물밖에서도 물 안에서도 물고기들 한가득 보이고 밤하늘엔 별들까지 가득합니다, 그 외 간단히 즐길 레포츠들과 수영장에 휴식공간까지 어느하나 부족한거 없이 좋았습니다. 공항에서부터 전용라운지, 전용보트픽업, 투어로 전용해변, 여러 무료 투어들까지 있어서 돈이 하나도 안아까웠어요. 다음에 또 가고 싶습니다.”
