Amazing staff. Helpful, attentive and friendly. Since there are only four or five rooms in the bungalow, after a while it feels like they remember everything about you. My partner and I had a great stay there, booked the boat tour and massage also with the reception, had breakfast almost everyday and loved the view (when weather is good). The beach in front is not suitable for sun or tanning but 150 pesos you can go to vanilla beach or 100 pesos to el nido town for entertainment. The famous el Sid bar is next to it, and you can also find loads of private boat or kayaking service nearby! Good location. We stayed for 8 days, would come back!
The good: the staff are so lovely here, they couldn’t do more for you! They really care about your stay! Bev and Ian are super stars! ❤️ The rooms (we stayed in two over 3 weeks here) are comfortable, spacious and well provisioned. We really appreciate the mosquito nets over the beds and the air con was good. Breakfast was really nice and we enjoyed eating it in front of our room with nice view. We felt very safe here and there was always someone around for security purposes 24 hrs. We personally liked the location, only 5-10 minutes from town which is busy and noisy and Maremegmeg beach which is lively but not for us (so many bad reviews for accommodation there). There are also a fair few nice restaurants and bars which are much quieter (and in our opinion) nicer in easy walking distance. The bad: there is a bar next door that plays music until 2230/2300 every night. It didn’t bother us as we’d be up until then anyway or have a drink there before bed. There is also a new hotel in progress next door, meaning there is some noise in the mornings from builders. Again not a massive issue. The beach isn’t really ideal for swimming due to many boats, but I’d recommend grabbing a tuktuk to Lio beach which is by far the best in the area. Lastly there are a lot of beach hustlers which try and sell you stuff even when you’re sat on your balcony. They are harmless though and will leave you be when you say no. On the whole we enjoyed our stay and would stay again here without hesitation! El Nido is stunning, a really special part of the Philippines!
🌈I truly loved this hotel located a 10 minutes walk from the city center and next to lots of beautiful kayak spots🛶 🌄The location is really ideal 🌊 🛏️The rooms are incredible, spacious and comfortable 👥The team is extremely professional, kind and of incomparable kindness! 🩵 💆🏽♀️Massages are exceptional and done directly in your room😍 Go ahead with your eyes closed, the Maligaya’s team will receive you like nowhere else 🫶🏽
Really enjoyed our stay. The whole service team were so fun and had great personalities who organised great tour guides. One of the staff even carried our 30kg suitcase down a long path and up stairs on his head after we had already checked out! We appreciated them taking the initiative to give us any warnings that might have been relevant to where we were going regarding weather and safety when we’d walk past. Maligaya also had delicious breakfast and great coffee. To top it off our room was beautifully set up with scenic beach view right outside our doors! The location made walking to and from dinner along the beach so convenient.
The only downside (if that is a downside) of this hotel is its location: its 5 min away by car from the main area in El Nido. The remaining, 10/10. Staff were super nice and helpful. They greeted us with a welcome cocktail (which was delicious) and would help with anything we needed. The place looks amazing, and rooms are super comfortable. They have taken the time to watch for and polish small details, and that is something you can feel. Breakfast was really good, served to your room, and worth contracting. Sometimes they run away from electricity, but immediately they connect a generator and everything is up and running again. You even have a really good Italian just 3 min away walking through the beach. Would definitely recommend staying at Maligaya, what great 2 nights!
