Search Inns in Matinloc Island

"Clean hotel in excellent location. Pool was super nice and breakfast was excellent. The gym and spa were top notch as well. My only complaint was the constant outside noise from the property behind the hotel, but with the AC running it crowded most of it out."

"Entire staff were friendly, helpful and focused on ensuring you enjoy every moment of your stay. They even let us check out late (normally 12noon) knowing our flight to Manila was in the evening. All available water sports amenities were complementary including vest and snorkeling gear. Lifeguard is available all day and always ready to help — ie use paddle board or launch kayak. Filtered water is available all throughout the facility which is a delight given the Palawan heat. Will surely come back and recommend this place to family and friends. We had the best experience ever— better than Hawaii or Cabo— from staff to beach view and beach time including the pool and spa. Thank you Seda for a wonderful start of our retirement journey."

"Amazing stay at Cauayan, absolutely paradise. The beachfront villas are stunning, looking out onto the bay with private sunbeds to relax on and just a short walk from the spa, bar & restaurant. The tours offered are wide ranging and give you a great chance to see the e surrounding islands and lagoons, and the scuba diving is excellent, clear, warm water with lots of fish & corals. The food and drinks are great but the real showcase are the staff, all of whom are there to cater to whatever you need. Special thanks from us go to Red (excellent coffees!), KC, KL, Alwin, Kel, Pearl, Norihen & Jeremiah, but everyone has been brilliant. We’re been so well looked after we don’t want to leave! Thanks to everyone for making our stay so special."

"Our stay at Charlie’s El Nido was absolutely wonderful and truly exceeded expectations. The rooms were perfect — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The bathroom was spacious and modern, and we loved having a balcony overlooking the pool, which made mornings and evenings especially relaxing. The restaurant was fantastic. Breakfast every day was excellent with plenty of options to choose from. The omelet station was a highlight, along with fresh fruit selections, a variety of hot dishes, and fluffy pancakes made fresh upon request. Everything felt fresh, well-prepared, and enjoyable. What really made this stay special was the staff. Every single team member — from the front desk and restaurant staff to security and transportation personnel — was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. The hotel amenities were great as well, including a full bar, gym, and a beautiful pool area that was perfect for relaxing after island tours. Overall, Charlie’s El Nido is a fantastic place to stay, and we would absolutely return. Highly recommended for anyone visiting El Nido! "

"Breakfast was really good!!! High fives on that !!!"

"Be prepared to walk lots of steps. 294 steps from the restaurant to my room (Love triangle). The first night the lights on the stairway were not working. I used my phone flashlight to navigate the steps. The room had a spiral staircase with no safety railing. Not safe at all. The view was spectacular, unfortunately the windows were dirty. I wish the place where we stayed had a full length mirror as well. Also, take note, if you go to the restaurant for your meals, expect a 30 minute wait just for the drinks to come out and an hour for the meal. Also the wifi is awful."

"Really enjoyed my stay at this location. The room was huge. The AC worked great and all the staff were super friendly and attentive. The location is only a few mins walking to nearby stores. It was about a ten min walk to the meeting point for the boat tour.Overall a great experience!!"

"We enjoyed our stay at Cadlao. Disappointing was lack of little fridge in the room. Staff was always very friendly."

"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the villa and would rate the entire experience a perfect 10 out of 10. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with refreshing coconut drinks waiting for us, which immediately set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. One of the highlights was the amazing private pool. It was beautifully maintained, offering complete privacy and the perfect place to unwind at any time of the day. Whether it was a morning swim or a quiet evening dip, it truly made the stay feel luxurious. The staff were exceptional throughout our visit. They were always friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful with anything we needed. We decided to rent motorbikes during our stay, and the staff made the whole process effortless, providing great support and guidance, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. The food was another standout feature. Every meal we had was delicious, fresh, and clearly prepared with care. It added so much to the overall experience and made dining at the villa something we looked forward to every day. On checkout, we were pleasantly surprised with a thoughtful farewell gift of homemade cashew sweets with sugar, which was a lovely and memorable touch. Overall, everything about our stay was perfect. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-cared-for villa experience."
