Miniloc Island 3 Stars Hotels

"From the moment we arrived we felt at home. Noud and his team are spot on with everything. We had room 5 on floor 3 and the view was beautiful of the limestone casts and the sea. The young lady who spoke English was an absolute star from check in, trip booking, waitress, housekeeping and anything else we wanted. We don't eat garlic so eating out in the Philippines can be quite a challenge. After discussing this, the chef adapted the menu for us by cooking to order and the food was lovely. Airport transfers were arranged easily too. The pool area is in nice condition and great to cool off in. The location makes it easy to walk down to the beach, restaurants and shops. Trikes are plentiful if you don't want to walk. We always ate in Mansion Buenavista. On our last day we had an early flight before breakfast was served and they made us a packed breakfast to take to the airport. It showed such kindness and we really appreciated it. Thank you to the whole team who work hard to give their guests an amazing stay. We would highly recommend Mansion Buenavista and it will be our first choice if we can make it back to El Nido in the future. "

"Great on all levels, food staff and service "

"Beautiful hotel, food is amazing, views epic. Only negative is Lawin room, a beach front cottage backs on to a very noisy bar, the music should stop at 10pm, it didn’t one night and the hotel did respond and speak to the bar and they provide earplugs. But whilst having evening showers you do feel like you are at a youth hostel disco! With the base coming into the room. I would definitely stay at this hotel again but ask not to be near the bar. "

"Nice hotel. Great staff. Excellent pool and sun deck. Good restaurants in the hotel. Wall to Coron is 15 min. Or $50-$100 tricycle ride. Walk to El Nido town is about 30 min, or $100-$150 tricycle ride. Lots of stuff around the hotel too for food. "

"This property is a little slice of heaven. Great rooms, food and service. "

"What was lacking in the actual facility (see below) was made up for by the incredible staff at Stunning Republic BR. Booking transportation and day excursions was a breeze, and the breakfast was top-notch (both Filipino and American Style). You order from a menu but can mix and match. Typhoon “Tito” hit El Nido when I was there. I can’t think of a better place to weather the storm - the building was solid, staff were always conscious of guests’ safety and comfort, everyone was updated on storm conditions, flights, etc. In the midst of heavy winds and rain, the staff made breakfast and hand delivered it (running across the open area in poncho’s) to residents. The pot of coffee was no small task since the power was out! After the typhoon passed, staff cleared fallen trees, debris, broken glass immediately. In the evening, they prepared a special meal for guests with food provided to them - it’s a breakfast only resort but most restaurants were closed. SRBR is a dated resort with basic amenities. My second floor room had a great ocean view and balcony. The dining area is covered but open air and has fabulous sunset views. The beach is very small. The area around the hotel is safe - a short walk to many restaurants, massage, tour bookings and shops. The rooms - our group had three - were dated, run-down furniture, comfortable beds, and everything worked (shower, tv, plugs). I missed having a small fridge and hair dryer. Many thanks to the staff for EVERYTHING !!"

"Staff members are excellent, very welcoming and helpful. Raymond and Amadeus are great!!"

"The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay again. "

"This place is beautiful. The staff was amazing, very kind and friendly. They do everything they can to help you however they can. Our hut or housing was very nice and on the porch was 2 comfortable chairs and a hammock which was a very nice touch. Some people were saying that the water for showers were cold and my girl did too, but i just left it running for a couple minutes and it heated right up and stayed that way. They do have scooter rentals and free rides into town but to get to the resort is pretty wild. Overall 10/10 experience. "
