The fastest and the most comfortable way to get to Matinloc Resort is to fly to El Nido airport via Air Swift. Travel time is an hour and a half, compared to the 12 hours of flying to Puerto Princesa and going by road to El Nido. From the airport, the resort is an hour and a half away (combination of private land and boat transfers). The coast guards are strict with the boat schedules as there’s an open sea part on the way to the island.
As you approach the island, you will see the beachfront suites and tree houses facing the ocean and the pristine beach. The forest houses can also be seen from afar with limestone cliffs as their background.
The suites have modern, country-style decorations and are so spacious. All have private balconies or terraces. They also have villas with separate whirlpool tubs.
There's a bar facing the pool, and a restaurant with sea views, outdoor pools, and a private beach.
The closest tourist destination is the Matinloc shrine and is part of El Nido Tour C. The resort also offers kayak and jetski rentals.
If you don’t like large crowds, and would like to rejuvenate your senses, you’ll definitely enjoy this quiet place.
Boat and land transfers to and from El Nido town are free, as long as you set a schedule in advance, as they will need to get approval from the coast guards every time you need to leave and enter the island.
