Matinloc Resort

A luxurious escape awaits travelers who book a room at El Nido’s five-star Matinloc Resort. Located on Matinloc Island’s Culasa Beach, guests are literally steps away from a pristine white beach. Even better, accommodations are opulent, multiple dining options are available, and recreational facilities are sure to entertain.

Matinloc Resort is about an hour from the El Nido Airport, and the trip involves a van and a ferry. Guests coming from the Puerto Princesa Airport have an additional five-hour journey to make. The resort is a minute’s walk away from Culasa Beach.

Guests who check in can take their pick from six accommodation options: Beach Villas, Mountain Villas, VIP Villas, Junior Suites, Terrace Suites, and Signature Suites. The hotel is also currently constructing Executive Suites. All room types have air-conditioning and complimentary WiFi, as well as a television set with cable channels. All the villas have wraparound terraces, while the suites have balconies. The en suite bathrooms have a shower and a complete set of bathroom amenities.

Dining options include the hotel’s in-house restaurant, which serves both Eastern and Western dishes, while also providing diners with a view of the sea. Beach barbecues offer Filipino fare as well as vegetarian and pescatarian options. Meanwhile, drinks, mocktails, milkshakes and snacks are served at the Bar Lounge.

Numerous recreational facilities can be had at the resort. The Spa at Matinloc offers a variety of treatments, while the infinity pool, adult pool, and kids’ pool are available for a dip. Kayaking and snorkeling equipment can also be rented. Hotel staff can also arrange five different tours for guests: the Matinloc Tour, the Lagoons Tour, the Cadlao Tour, the Cave Tour and the Snorkeling Tour.
