What a wonderful stay we had in the Jaglo 1 Villa. From the check-in to the checkout, everything was absolutely wonderful. The Philippines spirit of hospitality is very apparent and the staff goes out of their way to make their guests very happy. I would highly recommend staying here for anybody visiting El Nido. Be aware it is on a mountain side so very hilly. If you cannot walk comfortably up hills and down hills, you will struggle to stay at this property. Thank you again to the entire team at Karuna!!!

Everything about our stay was amazing. We stayed in Joglo 2, a beautiful unique villa with a wrap around porch overlooking the ocean. The villas are perched on a hill with spectacular views and gorgeous sunsets. You could also catch the beautiful sunsets from the infinity pool and the restaurant. The restaurant was wonderful with many choices. The staff was very attentive (Wilma and Jade in particular). We also had wonderful massages at the spa. In short we loved it !

Beautiful location and incredible staff

Incredible view from room and restaurant. Staff was friendly and always willing to help. Lots of wildlife such as geckos around, but harmless. Can’t wait to visit again.

Beatiful villas and views, professional staff who ensure all your needs. Good restaurant with okay pricing. Free transportation and pickup to city center. Can recommend!

Clean, beautiful view, friendly staff, transportation services included.

Clean rooms, and kind staff!

Beautiful place to stay, amazing view of the sunset, especially from the restaurant and the pool. The staff was very helpful. The room very clean and spacious. The only less nice thing is that the bathroom is outdoors so lots of bugs and reptiles got in the bathroom and sometimes the room (we found a frog inside).

We loved our stay - great staff, attentive and the complimentary shuttle was a nice touch. The only thing they should work on is the massage service. The AC was blasting, when you are butt naked getting a massage you want the room to be a nice temperature. Other than that, a 10 out of 10. We loved the geckos and their sounds!

Studio room was great - clean, comfortable, with great views. They really have done a good renovation. Staff were very helpful, they were really trying. Restaurant was a bit expensive, and food was ok. The provision of the hourly shuttle into El Nido really makes this resort work, otherwise you are isolated up a hill.

I can't say anything bad about Karuna El Nido Villas. They cater to relaxation. Beautiful infinity pool, excellent massages, great food, and excellent single loungers and double canopy loungers around the pool. Most importantly was the staff attitude. They were extremely professional and flexible. They were fun, cheery, and naturally interacted with guests gracefully. They were so sweet to say the least. You can't ask for better treatment. I would not hesitate to return in the future.

The view and staff 10/10. Amazing view from room and pool. Unfortunately was my room close to the road below and the noise made it hard to sleep. I wish that it should be informed when booking the room that it’s close to the road. Their was no possibility to change the room. Staff was excellent, super nice and service minded. Poor choices for breakfast. I had pre-booked a hotel pick up and informed my flight details. Unfortunately was my flight delayed. The hotel didn’t check the arrival and the car waited 1 hour and left. The hotel charged me for the pick up anyway…

The people that work at Karuna are what makes it special. To all the waitresses thank you for been so helpful. You all are sweet. To Diane at the front desk thank you .

We are a family of 4, we stayed at Studio 3 for 3 days. From pickup on day 1 to end of our stay, we were treated so well....the staff were so attentive, courteous, and professional! Big thank you to the restaurant staff led by manager Raymond, the sweet ladies Wilma, Jane, Cyra took care of us to make sure our dining experience was flawless. Food was delicious and very pretty presentation! Ellen at front reception was charming and professional. Thank you also to drivers who made sure we were picked up and dropped off on time at airport. The resort is exceptional and stunning, the view is breathtaking, the attention to detail in the studio and resort is impeccable to ensure aesthetically has the Bali inspired theme is there and guests are pampered and comfortable. I will recommend to my friends and family and would come back in heartbeat!

Karuna has wonderful staff. Only concern we had was the room was not ready. There was no towel, body wash almost empty and the water dispenser was almost empty that we kept calling the front desk. I booked a transfer at 5am, it was not ready and we had to wait.

Breathtaking views! Great staff! Clean rooms, great food and drink choices. Would stay here again.

It was the best experience I've ever had from accommodation! Counter is super kind and they respond quickly to inquiries. They also offer shuttle service to the town, so it was easy to access through port or some tour places. I truly recommend it.

The staff were delightful and were the epitome of Filipino hospitality

Staff are very accommodating and helpful

We enjoyed our stay in Karuna! The view from our room was spectacular! The staff were great and very good with communication. The transfer van that leaves every hour was very convenient. We will definitely come back!
