What is the difference between Lagen Island and Miniloc Island?

Miniloc is quaint and rustic with a wider beach.  Accommodations at Miniloc are made of thatched roofs with interiors inspired by indigenous Philippine materials.  The island is set in a cove with a backdrop of majestic limestone cliffs and has a beautiful house reef rich in colorful tropical fishes.

Lagen on the other hand is set in a cove of a thick primary forest. Accommodation on this island is more deluxe and modern in style, it is also equipped with a swimming pool. The tropical rain forest at the back of the resort is perfect for trekking / hiking and leads to a beautiful private beach.
