This resort is committed to what we have been doing for the past twenty five years – being good neighbours by providing meaningful and worthwhile employment, livelihood and training opportunities to the local communities; being faithful stewards of the natural environment.
Miniloc Island is a strategic jump-off point for all the best dive sites in the El Nido area, and the resort has been a faithful steward of these sites. The resort has maintained mooring buoys set up over eleven years ago for all the dive boats, including those from the local communities, to use. The resort has also been conducting regular patrols to discourage illegal fishermen from carrying out their activities. Around Miniloc Island are numerous sea turtle nesting sites that the resort has also been protecting from both human poaching and predation from monitor lizards.
To minimize the use of disposable plastic water bottles, El Nido Resorts recently implemented its “refillable drinking water system”.Instead of giving complimentary bottled water, each room is provided with a refillable flask which is replenished for every nights stay. In addition, an El Nido Be GREEN water bottle, with unlimited refill, is also on sale at the resorts and beach clubs. This will reduce the purchase of bottled water during activities and meals whilst in El Nido.Aside from being cost-efficient, this new system aims to reduce negative environment impact of having to disposable empty water bottles which, more often than not, end up in landfills.
The resort, it may be said, put the area on the tourism map. What started out as a dive camp over twenty five years ago has consistently carried out practices and activities that ensure marine conservation in the area.
Island Transvoyager (ITI), El Nido Resorts’ official flight provider, recently launched “Be Green, Fly Green”, the first airline carbon emission reduction program in the Philippines. ITI established a seedling nursery at El Nido Airport to offset the carbon emissions from its flights and greenhouse gases from its aircrafts’ fuels. Passengers interested to offset their carbon footprint out of their flights to and from El Nido may sponsor tree-planting by purchasing seedling/s from ITI.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
