El Nido Miniloc was the finest island resort I've ever stayed at -- and I've been to several 4-5 star resorts in the Carribean. The staff was amazing and the scenery was stunning -- full of limestone cliffs similar to Phuket. Considering the remoteness of the location and small size (about 50 rooms) the price is a bargain considering the food and even water has to shipped in from the mainland. Free activites in hiking through the jungle on Lagen Island, sea kayaking, skin diving, and island hoping. All boats and equipment was top notch. The flight from Manila is also worth the price since it leaves from a private terminal and the airport at El Nido was built just for the resort -- small dirt strip with a water buffalo as a welcome committee. Chef Prado was a genius in the kitchen -- fixing local and international cuisine to exceed the demands of my family. Again I think the resort is stunning.
