The resort was absolutely amazing! From the facility and to the exceptional staff everything was perfect. I highly recommend doing an island tour and scuba diving session with their amazing crew of divers and guides. S/o to Jeremia and Master diver Norrien! They we’re absolutely friendly and made our diving experience soo much fun. For your food cravings I highly recommend going to eat at Cauayan restaurant with Boss Daniel and his exceptional hospitality. He made everything seamless and he is very efficient and attentive to our needs. Lastly, I would like to give a huge S/o to boss JB for welcoming us and showing us that world famous Filipino hospitality. Definitely coming back here in the future!

Fantastic staff and environment. The facilities that were in use were very good, but some were still missing. The road down to the beach / sandbank was closed due to the storm in December. Missed information booklet in the room. That said, great service and staff, but overpriced compared to similar facilities.

It was very nice in there, the people were very welcoming and always had the smile On their faces. We had our breakfast at sun mai and the resto was open until 10pm. They had happy hour from 3pm to 7pm and I must say food was great. Servings were big. During the day you can’t stay inside the tent as it was so hot. You can either stay on the pool side-they also serve food and drink or you can stay on the beach front. They also offer numbers of activity so you can choose which one you like to do. They have hatching area for turtles which was so good as well There were lots of dogs, I’m concern about their heath it appears to me that they all had that skin issue or something I hope the management will look into that too.

We stayed for 4 nights in May 2022 and had a great time (just returned). The resort is very well maintained, the food was great, and the service from the staff was EXCELLENT. To be clear, this is not a typical 5-star resort with hundreds of rooms, 24-hour room service, and lots of tourists. It is a romantic hideaway with fantastic air-conditioned cabins/rooms with no phones (love that), wonderful modern bathrooms, great beds, good Wi-Fi, lovely views, easy access to town, and a staff that will go out of their way to help you. Do you want to unwind and be romantic with a loved one, then you want to stay at the Last Frontier!

Beautiful resort and beyond accomodating management

Reviewed By Mark S

I needed a place to stay that would allow me to work on my laptop during Canadian business hours. This meant I needed a quiet place with good wifi. I explained my situation and the resort manager Sid went above and beyond to set me up with an ideal space. He also helped me test the wifi speed and it was faster than I get at home even! I am grateful that I had a chance to stay in this excellent resort. The food is easily some of the best in all of El Nido. One of the greatest charms of the resort is that its location is removed from the loud and busy El Nido center. It has well manicured gardens, beautiful mature trees, exceptional views, soothing pools and very comfortable rooms. If you're uncomfortable catching a trike and being driven across a stretch of shoreline and past the area's cemetary and you want to be right in the middle of El Nido then this resort isn't for you. But if you want a really beautiful, classy and homey experience then this place is awesome!

Had a great stay in this resort

Reviewed By ajourneywithkei

The location is really great because it's in the town center and in front of El Nido beach. Every morning the tourist and tour guides are right outside the beach, collecting passengers for different tourist. All staff are friendly and accomodating. The rooms are cute with their color and decorations. They have a restaurant that serves breakfast. At the entrance of the hotel is a police station, and you can access the different restaurants around the area. Staffs are friendly and accommodating.

Excellent all around

Reviewed By paolocQ8936XI

First trip post pandemic and all I can say is that Matinloc is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful while the food is so delicious. Every order and every bite is worth it and leaves you wanting more. At Matinloc, you feel well taken care of due to the people and the views found in the resort are sights to behold. I guess small negatives would be that the room we stayed in had a few problems but the staff were quick to address these once you tell them so. The wifi can also be inconsistent but wasn’t a big problem. Overall, Matinloc Resort is worth every penny and would love to come back here again.

The superior room was worth the price!

Reviewed By ShavyB

The entire personnel was so friendly. We have a three-night stay at this property in the superior room. Funny during check-in, the girl asked how many people are we? I said, just the two of us, and she looks at me like what? Lol Their superior room was pricey and can accommodate three people. But I believe they have only two for this type of room. Thus reserve in advance is recommended. I book the room seven months before our trip. They have 24 hours of electricity, but the free wifi is very weak, only available in the restaurant. It is best to buy a local sim card if you want a stable internet. Our room is upstairs, with a balcony facing the ocean. It's precisely the same as in the photo. The wall painted in a jungle design but turned the room into darkness. Beautiful place a lot of space, it was worth the price. The housekeeping is available on request. And during the room cleaning, the beddings were also refreshed. The bathroom is less: I'm not too fond of the rock stone floor in the bathroom. They cleaned daily, but I can feel the sand still in there. The hot water is not to regulate (too hot). We turn off one of the buttons, and we only get cold water. The concrete stairs have a weird layout, too wide apart. My partner fell while going down.
