Beautiful quaint little Hotel, the staff is super friendly. the rooms are spacious and clean.
A bar opened next door and the noise travels to the room up until midnight.

Amazing spacious & comfortable bungalow along the Corong Corong beach front. Excellent courtious staff. Short walking distance along the beach to numerous great restaurants and bars also along the same beach. Bella Vita was a our favourite, it has the best pizzas I've ever eaten anywhere in the world. Located mid way between the El Nido town centre and the picturesque Vanilla beach for more restaurants & bars, great swimming, and watching sunsets, it's only 10 minuntes either way by tricycle.
Unfortunately the beach itself outside of the Bungalow's is not really suitable for swimming, especially during low tide as this part of the bay is used for anchoring of many boats, and not as picturesque as Vanilla beach, but the many other pluses make up for this.

Thank you for all of the team members, you made my short stay unforgettable. I will definitely come back!

The rooms were wonderful, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, arranging activities and bringing delicious breakfasts to our room each morning. It was a short walk to several good restaurants and bars on the beach. The boat tours were really incredible. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfecte locatie aan het strand en vlakbij een goed Italiaans restaurant. Beach bungalow is prachtig. Enige minpunt is wel dat de stoelen op het terras niet comfortabel zijn en er geen mogelijkheid is om buiten lekker te liggen.
De zit- en lig mogelijkheden buiten. Kregen ook geen badhanddoeken

L'emplacement, l'ambiance, l'amabilité, la gentillesse et
la bienveillance de tout le personnel de ce charmant petit établissement.
Je recommande sans hésitation.

Gorgeous location, authentic vibe of the room itself. Friendly staff.
Need more help with luggage’s from the main road, as there are quite a few steps coming down. Booked room only, could have more value for money if the price was reduced .

Super hyggeligt. Den fedeste udsigt lige ud over havet.
Det ligger i et bolig kvarter så der er lidt støj der fra.
Lige ved siden af ligger der en bar, så der kommer der også noget lyd fra. Dog stopper de forholdsvis tidligt. Det endte ikke med at blive et problem for os men var stadig en bekymring.
Da vi ankom fik vi at vide at vi ikke skulle bade på stranden lige foran hotellet.

Very beautiful and romantic rooms. We had the one with garden view but we could still see the sea. A perfect beachfront hotel where you can experience stunning sunsets.
The breakfast more than excellent. We went for the yogurt and fruit/granola bowl. Soooo delicious and affordable. Just can enjoy it from the tranquility and privacy of your terrace.
You also have Bella Vita restaurant and the very popular sunset bar Sip at a fee steps away.
It took only 5-8 min to reach the town by tricycle. Which was amazing if you want to have some calm but still be close to the day tour la departing points, stores bars and restaurants.

Everything, the location is amazing with views of the sunset from the room and terrace, Sip bar is next door a fantastic chilled bar to watch the sun go down, there is an excellent Italian restaurant 2 minutes walk along the beach(Bellavita). The rooms are immaculately clean and well decorated and equipped and a nice space to be in, these are the best rooms we have stayed in during our 3 week trip to Palawan. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpfull. This place is great value for money.

Die Unterkunft sieht genauso aus, wie auf den Bildern. Die Lage ist sehr gut, direkt bei der Unterkunft kann man einen Roller mieten und es gibt einige Bars und Restaurants in der Nähe.
Die Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen sind extrem freundlich und serviceorientiert.
Wir haben ein mal Frühstück bestellt, das war auch sehr gut.
Wir können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
Wer Probleme damit hat, dass es mal lauter werden kann in der Nacht, sollte es sich überlegen. Direkt nebenan ist die bekannte Sip Bar :-)

Very friendly staff, bungalow is just few meters from the sea, nice terrace, good bed.
Beach is not for swiming at all, but still nice overview from terrace.

Where can I start, when in came to El Nido we decided that we want a quiet stay really close to town and Maligaya Beach Bungalows was definitely the best choice.
Staff: Beverlie & Ian have been amazing. We do travel the world but it was the first time we got such a warm welcome. Beverlie was kind enough to give us a lot of details on food, activities, laundry, tours and answer all our questions. She really loves what she does. The both of them would be a reason to come back to this little paradise.
Room: The rooms are absolutely beautiful, they are just 5 in number. We got the one that was facing the beach and we had an amazing time. Really clean and comfy, they equipped with air conditioning and fans so you will more than survive the warm climate.
Breakfast: There were available upon pay different sets of breakfast. Really nice choices and they bring them to your room upon time request with a creative touch. Loved it.
Location: Just a 5 minute ride via tricycle from town located right on the Corong Corong beach. This beach is not amazing for swimming especially during the time of year we went (August 2023) but its the starting point of the tours you definitely want to do (Tour A, B, C & D). You can walk there no hustle. It is also a 3 minute beach walk (depending on the tide to a nice Italian Restaurant (Bella Vita).
What can I say it exceeded our expectations. We are so happy we didn’t choose to stay in town. This way we had the relaxing and joyful experience we were going for.

Our stay was amazing! The staff helped me organize a surprise celebration for my boyfriend's 30th birthday and even gave us a free cake. Everyone was always the nicest and most helpful people. The rooms are super comfortable and beautiful and the view from our room was amazing. We loved our stay!

My daughter and I spent three wonderful days at Malagaya Beach Bungalows in El Nido. The staff couldn't be any nicer and accommodating. They saw to it that we had a great time and provided every support we could possibly need. Breakfast was great, booking of island hopping tour was easy and all recommendations were great.
I wanted to give a specific shout out to Beve. She went above and beyond to help us and was always available to answer questions and assist. We had a large bag with us that we didn't want to take to one of the other islands we were visiting and were able to store the bag with them for a day which was incredibly helpful.
We loved everything about Malagaya Beach Bungalows. Its in a beautiful location, the room we had (ocean front) was absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. The staff were extraordinary. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Will definitely recommend to others.
4.5
Perfect location for all El Nido activities.
Friendly staff, always assisting with every need. Beve is a very caring and lovely manager. She and her fellow staff members organized all the island hopping, scooter rentals, transfers, and more for us. We stayed 11 days and really felt at home at this place, as it is small with a personal atmosphere. They offer good breakfast and lunch packs.
You just step onto the beach and reach restaurants and sundowner bars nearby.
The beach itself is not good for swimming. However, you can reach Vanilla beach in 5 min with a tricycle, and also, kajak tours are the best from this spot.
4.5
Everything. Location is perfect, rooms are located right next to the beach, and within walking distance of some nice bars and restaurants. The room itself is lovely and spacious, the bed is very comfortable, the shower has hot water and you also have a lovely veranda to sit out on in the morning for breakfast, or to just enjoy the sound of the waves. Breakfast is an additional expense but worthwhile, coffee is free. All in all, a very enjoyable stay. The staff are excellent, very friendly and extremely helpful. Couldn’t ask for better really.
I’m aware this is completely outside the control of the resort but the beach is slightly dirty and the water is not so clean or clear, however, a 10 minute walk up the beach you’ll be able to take a dip!
4.5
super helpful staff. very convenient location. easy to walk to bars and restaurants along Corong Corong beach. Breakfast was delicious. I had option 1 with fresh fruit. husband had the eggs & bacon.
Beve was very helpful arranging Tour A to pick us up at water outside our front door. also booked an amazing one hour massage in room.
all wonderful.
4.5
The place was gorgeous with a marvelous view, especially at high tide. The whole staff (our main go-to was Beve!) went above and beyond. Even when we were just momentarily waiting at the reception, we would be offered drinks.

Staff were incredibly helpful and really lovely. Small accommodation and so did not feel busy. Was quiet and lovely. Equidistant from the beach and from town.
Stayed here with a mate, but it is very much designed with couples in mind! Would still reccomend.

I loved everything about Maligaya Beach Bungalows, but I have to say a special word for the staff, all of whom are at the top of professional and welcoming; Iyan and Bev really made me feel at home and special, more than in any place I've stayed before. They were so kind and helped organize everything I could possibly need, from kayaks to dinner to boat trips to massages. If you like massage, ask for Mika, a truly talented massage therapist. The breaksfasts, delivered to the room, were fantastic and beautifully prepared. The room (Bungalo 5), was stunning, spacious, comfortable and clean. The view directly on the beachfront can't be beat; and the attention to detail was exquisite. Overall, my stay was a total joy, far beyond expectations. I strongly recommend.
If only I could have stayed longer!

- really nice boutique hotel with great rooms/bungalows
- the staff is super friendly and helpful
- very spacious and large wet area/bathroom
- great and sufficient breakfast (not included)
- good location: 10 minutes walk to El Nido, 10 minutes by tricycle to Marimegmeg Beach
there is a music venue nearby; this leads to less background noise until about 11:00 p.m.; The hotel can't do anything about that and if it gets too loud, the staff even goes over and complains; should it bother you, earplugs are provided by the hotel
it didn't bother us that much because we spent the beautiful evenings on the terrace
indeed little overpriced
4.5
Amazing views, delicious breakfast, lovely and accommodating staff. Clean and well managed location. A short distance from beaches if you have transport.
If you don’t have transport, getting places might be difficult, but there are plenty of tricycles and you can hire a scooter and the staff will organise it for you.
