5.6/10
My stay at Matinloc was a mix of highs and lows. The stunning views and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a lovely getaway, but several issues, including unreliable hot water and subpar dining options, really dampened the experience. It had a charming vibe, but I left feeling it fell short of the 5-star expectations.

I had a wonderful time at the Matinloc Resort, set in a stunning location that's a bit remote but worth it for the peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were well-kept and cozy, and the staff really made an effort to ensure we were comfortable. While the dining options were plentiful, I found some meals hit or miss. Overall, it's a great spot for relaxation, but if you're after more vibrant activities, you might want to consider other options.

Matinloc Resort is a hidden gem in the heart of nature, offering a beautifully tranquil environment perfect for relaxation. The beachfront rooms are incredibly spacious, providing breathtaking views of the sunrise. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who made our stay memorable. However, some facilities need maintenance, which slightly detracted from the overall experience. Also, the dining prices were a bit higher than you'd find on the mainland, but the quality made it worthwhile.
