Mt. Maruyog Resort is a nature park and garden at the foot of Mt. Maruyog. It is one of the simple places in Palawan that has been favorite destinations for tourists to spend leisure time and different commune with nature. The resort has amenities and recreational facilities to serve guests.

Amenities and Recreational Facilities

The resort has a number of air-conditioned cottages for overnight stay, swimming pool, a function room that could accommodate over a hundred guests, a mini-gallery, a sports area with facilities, and a restaurant that takes pride in its specialty “Dodoy botong” – chicken tinola sa buko, “Pinais na Sada” – grilled fish in seven herbs and “Alimango sa Labong” – crabs with coconut and bamboo shoot. The resort is near Sabsaban Waterfalls, a hot spring, and Oring-oring the source of the biggest pearl in the world.

Mt. Maruyog is a medium-high mountain in Palawan known for its pointed peak. This peak is part of the Mt. Matalingahan mountain range that traverses the mid-section of southern Palawan.

The town's seaport connects it to many cities and towns throughout the Philippines, and abroad. The El Nido-Bataraza highway connects the town to other mainland towns and municipalities. Transportation between Puerto Princesa and Brooke's Point is through commercial vans, buses or jeepneys. There is also a private airport located at Lada.

From Manila – Puerto Princessa

Philippine Airlines, PAL Express (formerly Air Philippines), Cebu Pacific, and Zest Air have travel routes from Manila to Puerto Princessa (capital of Palawan).

Getting around

Transportation throughout the town is through tricycle and multi-cabs. The fare is usually 8-10 pesos for the first kilometer. An eight kilometers ride would cost by at least 30 pesos. Multi-cabs have a much lower price; around 20-25 pesos for an 8 kilometers ride. Kuliglig, a machine also used for agriculture, is widely used as means of transportation is rural areas. It's a must try for tourists.
