El Nido Resorts Miniloc Island, rated 9.5/10 on Booking.com, is a 5-star eco-resort featuring thatch-roofed accommodations inspired by traditional Filipino coastal villages. The 50-room property includes Garden Cottages, Beachside Rooms, and Water Cottages, each with private verandas, wooden floors, and woven bamboo walls. Bacuit Bay views are prominent from Deluxe Seaview Rooms and Water Cottages. The Clubhouse Restaurant serves international dishes, while the beach bar offers snacks and drinks. Activities include snorkeling with resident Jack fish, island-hopping tours to Big and Small Lagoons, and kayaking through limestone cliffs. Miniloc Island is accessible via a 45-minute boat transfer from Lio Airport, with boat schedules synchronized to AirSwift flights. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Miniloc Island Resort.
