Lovely spacious rooms, grat facilities and very friendly staff.
Pool was excellent and the restaurant was very good. Only a short trip into El Nido Town and nearby beaches.
Would gladly stay there again. I would strongly recommend spending a little extra or flights into the local El Nido Airport. The alternative being a 5-6 hour transfer to/from Puerto Princessa doesn't bear thinking about.

The Moringa hotel is recent and has good equipment: Wi-Fi, King size bed, silent air conditioning, TV, fridge, kettle, safe, large Italian shower and hairdryer.
Large balcony and the pool is amazing and clean.
They no longer use plastic bottles but a nice glass bottle filled with purified water daily, which is very important to me!
Good price for this quality in El Nido.

We had a perfect stay in Moringa, so far the best hotel ouf our trip. Swimming pool is huge and beautiful. Staff is adorable and helpful and owners are nice, they gave us good advices. Breakfasts was great!!
Moringa is recent and modern with a good location :Corong Corong is pretty quiet, only 5 minuts drive from El Nido town. The beach is only 200 meters from the hotel and there is nice restaurants/pizzerias around. I would definitely recommend this area instead of El Nido town which can be busy and noisy. There are always tricycles waiting at the entrance so going in town or to the beach is easy all day long.
We stayed in a big balcony room with king size comfy bed and italian shower. bathroom and terraces are large too. They have a generator: energy and internet always work, unlike most of the hotels we had here.

The resort offers van transport from Puerto Princesa airport to their resort. But the resort experience is to me isn't the best for the following reason. 1. The door of the room we booked was very hard and heavy to lock. 2. You have to call in resort attendants every day to change your guest supplies. 3. They don't have duplicate keys to their rooms when we asked them to make up the room while we were away. 4. Wifi is not fast and the key validity expires every day, you always have to ask for a new one. 5. No iron for your clothes. 6. No cellular reception inside the rooms.

We wanted to like this place, we really did. The staff are all super friendly and even helped us to get our s-passes approved. But once we arrived the problems started. We had numerous issues with our bathroom (including coming home to a giant flood and a wooden panel falling onto the floor) so we had to switch rooms. We were willing to overlook this but then on night three of our stay we arrived home to a big party outside our room. Apparently the hotel management thought it was a good idea to rent out their space for parties and tonight was our lucky night to be part of the action. The party had a deejay and dancers and the noise reverberated inside our room. It was like trying to go to sleep in the middle of a club. Breakfast - SLOW is the word. The restaurant at Moringa is closed so you can choose to have your breakfast delivered to the hotel directly or go to the Coco Resort which is next door. We decided to go to the Coco Resort and arrived at breakfast at 7:45 but weren’t able to attract anyone’s attention until after 8 when food was already coming out for other people. We’re not sure how they got their food so fast. We didn’t get our food until 8:45. It arrived cold so it had been sitting around for a while until someone decided to bring it out to us. People who arrived after us had ordered, eaten, and left before we got our food. Coffee and hot water for tea came after our food arrived. One positive is that they made me a vegan breakfast with rice and veggies. Everyone else in our group had very simple breakfasts with eggs, bacon, and bread so we weren’t sure why it took so long. Wifi has two speeds, slow and totally non-functional. In the mornings you can browse webpages and download small things like ebooks but that is not possible in the afternoon and evenings. There is one bar 3g cell service for Globe and minimal service for Smart. We were supposed to stay here for 5 days but we left after 3. We came with 3 other couples and it made communication difficult. The staff was apologetic for all the issues but we can’t recommend this place.

Response from Max El Nido, Propriétaire at EL Nido Moringa Resort

First of all, I really want to apologize for all the problems that have happened to you. The mega typhoon which devastated many places in the Philippines cutting communications, water, electricity did not spare Palawan, and this on December 17, 2021, just before your arrival. We can be autonomous in electricity and water but unfortunately not communications, and which remained erratic for several days. We were also very solicited by the repair of some infrastructure. Several towns on the island were destroyed. Affecting staff availability. The kitchen at the Moringa Resort was also impractical for 5 days, forcing us to prepare breakfast and yours at our neighboring sister hotel. The exceptional delay of one of your breakfast is explained by the purchase of vegetables to meet your unforeseen demand. The staff wanted to please you but do not always have a good idea of the preparation times. And to end with the party, big mistake on my part to have authorized this. We found ourselves constrained then totally overwhelmed by events until 10pm when we cut the music and then finish evacuating the people at 11pm. It is now out of the question for something like this to happen again. I feel so sorry and sad to have inflicted this to everyone, I also made several refunds related to this noisy start of the night. Today everything is back to normal. A thousand apologies for your unfortunate experience, I will be delighted to see you again in our establishment and offer you the best of your stay. All my wishes for this new year which begins. Max (co-owner)

My partner and my family booked two night stay and it was a very nice experience from beginning until the end. This resort had all the amenities: Air conditioned rooms, TV, Wi-Fi, a clean swimming pool, and a restaurant with a full bar. The resort made our Palawan beach hopping tour for us when we booked our stay which was nice. The resort was conveniently located near the beach where we were to do our beach hopping tour. The restaurant had really good mixed drinks, and the breakfast and dinner food choices american and tradition filipino were all good and delicious. The restaurant employees went above and beyond the service they provided. The co-owner of the resort who also runs the restaurant was very pleasant and came out to us to ask how the food was and if we were enjoying our stay. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this resort.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this superb resort hotel.
The only negative thing to say was that Moringa Resort was so good we were genuinely very sad to leave.
The room was clean spacious and VERY comfortable. Ideally located just a few steps from the pool and restaurant.
But this tells only half the story. The staff were simply wonderful. Example - we arrived very early in the day due to our flight schedule. Not only did they allow us to store our luggage until the official check-in time as many others do, but they went out of thier way to ensure pur room was prepped first allowing us to check in several hours early and at no extra cost.
Nothing was too much trouble for the fantastic staff, and the friendly greetings at every encounter were filled with warmth and sincerity and not a distant corporate veneer.
We were fortunate enough to meet the teally nice owner on our final day there...and we were not slow to share our opinion with him.
When we return (which we most certainly will!) it will feel more like reacquainting ourselves with friends rather than hotel staff.

We had a relaxing stay at the Moringa Resort, the rooms are large and comfortable with a king size bed. I absolutely loved the view of the pool from the bedroom. The wifi worked well. The staff are nice and the breakfast is excellent. 2 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from El Nido town. You can book your island tours and van transfer with reception staff. We highly recommend this place!!

The Moringa offers a great compromise to spend a holiday with good services at a reasonable cost. A compliment to the reception staff, always very attentive and friendly, I found some inattention with the bar / restaurant staff, sometimes little attention to the service or quality of the products served, although pointing out the inconveniences, they promptly remedied. Good room, a nice terrace, from which you can admire spectacular sunsets. The pool is comfortable, there is a small relaxation corner for reading that I really enjoyed. Moringa is in a good location, served by outdoor tricycles, very convenient to move to El Nido, or to the beaches nearby. Would gladly return to spend another pleasant time!

Stayed here as a treat and to relax after a busy 3 weeks travelling. It was just what I needed. Firstly, the room was huge. There was so much space and all rooms have a balcony overlooking the pool. The staff were all incredibly attentive. Everything I asked for was actioned immediately and was never too much for the staff to sort. The resort had a small number of rooms so the pool is never crowded and is a great space to just relax. Lastly, I had a massage here. It was great value for an hour and no more expensive than those being offered in town and there was the option to have it in your room.
Location is good. 20/30min walk out of town or a tri- cycle ride which is very cheap. Was nice to be staying away from the hustle and bustle though. Would recommend.
