"Staff"

"Excellent breakfast, tranquil beach, staff very helpful and courteous, very clean"

"Noud, Jennifer and family were brilliant hosts and very helpful. A lovely room and pool, delicious breakfast, and just a 5 minute walk to town. Would happily stay again! "

"The staff has been great, very welcoming and helpful during our stay! "

"Friendly staff, beautiful views & sunset. Clean throughout the hotel and the rooms. I love the breakfast. Experience exceeded my expectations. Would visit again. "

"Breakfast was extremely disappointing, milk was off, lots of cross contamination, not attentive to service. Room was not made one day, towels not replaced on two of the five days. No tv in the room "

"The view is exceptional! The staff is amazing! Location is in the middle of everything and is walking distance! "

"We had a great and comfortable stay at Cadlao. Staff were all incredibly attentive and accommodating. Very friendly. The rooms were comfortable and AC worked great. Beautiful and peaceful property with great views of the bay and Cadlao Island. "

"The location was spectacular. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival to get upgraded to a Sea/Mountain view villa, and the accommodations were very nice! This definitely enhanced our 7-day stay. Housekeeping were on top of things, and kept our room clean and tidy. Had one small issue with the hot water disappearing one day, but as soon as we notified staff they were on it and fixed it immediately. The only area in which our experience would have been enhanced is an expansion of the menu. All of the Filipino dishes were very good, but the menu was somewhat limited, particularly for breakfast. If your stay is only a couple of days this likely won’t be an issue, but for a week a bit more variety would be nice. However, this was not enough to take my rating down to a 4. There are too many other great things that make the Matinloc Island Resort well worth visiting. We would definitely return for a second visit. Will try to post a few pics if I can once posted to Expedia. Words alone don’t do the place justice."
