The hype
Travelers adore the 'Bali-esque' design and massive rooms, often calling it a peaceful escape from El Nido's noise.
El Nido Moringa Resort
$150-250/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a stylish, quiet sanctuary in Corong Corong that feels like a mini-Bali, away from the chaotic El Nido town center.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Spacious, modern rooms with massive bathrooms and private balconies
- The 'jungle oasis' vibe with a central pool that feels miles away from the dusty main road
- Staff that consistently gets rated 9.1/10 for being genuinely helpful with tours and transfers
Resumen rápido: It’s a stunning boutique hideaway, but you’re trading direct beach access for a pool and a 5-minute tricycle ride to the action.
Reseñado por @nadam.ib: I was obsessed with the indoor-outdoor flow here. Waking up in that massive bed and walking straight out to see the pool surrounded by palm trees was the highlight of my El Nido trip. It feels super romantic but also really convenient.

Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Walk to 'Pops District' nearby for better food options if the hotel restaurant doesn't excite you.

Tricycles are cheaper if you flag them down on the road rather than having the front desk call one.
- ✨
The 'Deluxe Jacuzzi' rooms have the tub on the balcony—great for stargazing, but less private than you might think.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The bathroom layout in some rooms has no real door/barrier to the bedroom—awkward for friends traveling together.
💡The 'garden view' sometimes just means looking at a hedge or the back of another building.
💡You might get bitten by sandflies on the walk to the beach, not just mosquitoes.
💡The WiFi is basically non-existent in the rooms; you'll likely be using your data plan (Smart/Globe) which is also spotty here.
💡The hotel restaurant, Moringa Tress, actually serves surprisingly good pizza, rivaling some spots in town.
