Everything about our stay was absolutely exceptional and exceeded our expectations. The staff was amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful. They went above and beyond anything we would have ever imagined to make our stay enjoyable and incredibly memorable. They were very flexible and extremely friendly. They had very great recommendations and were very familiar with the town and the tours. The view was breathtaking, one of a kind. It was incredibly relaxing with the bathtub and rainfall outdoor shower. The resort was very clean and easy to access all of the amenities. The room was absolutely stunning. The resort was built with every detail in mind and was an incredible value. I would recommend this resort to anyone with family or just wanting a romantic getaway. The food was amazing and the pool was picture perfect. They were willing to accommodate our special diet, and their customer service was over the top. Offered a private secluded vacation with the convenience of town and all of the amenities. The value is absolutely amazing, you will never regret staying here. We are already planning our trip for next year.

Amazing view from the top, great service and staff! The A frame loft (lumbung 2) was perfect for the 4 of us. It is one of the newer units. Wifi, netflix, transportation service, food, in room massage ... just fantastic! It does require a bit of effort to walk uphill. Good for cardio but may be a negative for some. Also , hand rails could be installed in certain areas to prevent accidental falls.

The villas are wonderful, spacious, and well decorated. The pool and restaurant are great with awesome views. Resort is located at the top of the hills and there's an ongoing road construction, but as long as you coordinate your arrival, they'll pick you up from the main road. Great stay overall.

Karuna has the most majestic views! It is perched on the side of the mountain. We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff are very attentive and helpful. They are very quick to assist with excursions and ride to town. They have an infinity pool that has a great view and a restaurant next to it. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Shower is outdoor overlooking the water. Inactive seniors, disabled and families with small children need caution because of uphill terrain and stairs. We didn’t have any issues as those situations didn’t apply to us. Special thank you to Ellen for all your help coordinating our rides and giving us information about the resort. Thank you Karuna for the wonderful time at your resort!

Karuna Villa made our first visit to El Nido a very pleasant vacation. Staff was super friendly and helpful with all our questions and needs. They were very responsive when requesting transportation to and from downtown El Nido or closer destinations. Our Joglo was roomy and comfortable enough for our family of 5. The view of the bay was amazing especially during sunsets. I would recommend staying in Joglo 2 since it is right in the middle of the main office and restaurant/pool. Karuna was a great place to stay and would recommend it for anyone visiting El Nido.

The hotel is up to the hill that required u to take hotel pick up service as tuktuk cannot go up. However, it did not affect our experience there. The hotel respond to our request on WhatsApp very quickly. They even set up a bbq station at our roof top that we can buy seafood and meat in the public market in a very cheap price and enjoy our bbq at our rooftop. The breakfast is good too, a lot of options and good quality

We were at the pool area enjoying our food and the bottle we bought when the shareholder came to nag at us and when we tried to let her know we wanted to let her know about the transportation experience she was getting loud that other guests can hear our conversation and she kept talking over us. Overall the front desk, drivers, bartenders, servers and other staff of the property were welcoming and kind. The shareholder made us feel very unwanted.

Overall we were very happy with this hotel and we would stay here again. Gorgeous views, comfortable beds, delicious food, friendly service. The free car service was very useful. The only issue we had was that our air conditioning did not work. We mentioned it a few times to the staff and they said they checked it, but our room wouldn't get below 80 degrees F and the staff did not have solutions for us. Our family was in another suite and we know their air conditioning worked very well, so the issue was specific to our room.

Very nice place with picturesque views of the bay. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Lester worked very hard to find us a private boat tour of the islands last minute. (If you arrive after 5pm ask them to set up a tour before you get there). We almost missed the best day with no rain for the tour but Lester came through in the clutch. Not much to complain about except the lounge chairs on the patio had stains. Needs a little cleaner sprayed on them. Everywhere you want to go on the resort is either uphill or downhill. It’s not that hard to manage but if you are old or disabled you might look elsewhere. All in all it is a great place with wonderful views and services. Tip: Building 4&5 are situated the highest with best views.

Let’s start with the good. The view is spectacular and the property is kept in a good condition. The rooms are big and comfortable with air con, a kitchen and outdoor shower and bath. The guys on transfers were great. However, if you’re after a complete 5 star resort then you may be disappointed. The food in the restaurant was poor and items weren’t available for the duration of the stay. Service was minimal and ‘sorry’ seems to be the Philippine response to feedback/complaints. There was a unit under construction right next to ours which reduced our privacy in the outdoor areas and general maintenance and upkeep could be improved Not the hotel’s fault, but be aware that there are daily power outages due to local load shedding. Inconvenient but you would experience this wherever you stayed in Palawan Overall we’d give the hotel a 3.5/5 and the amenities a 2/5 If this resort wants to truly be valued as a 5* then they really need to up their game

What a beautiful resort! The location and view is to die for. The property is on a hill overlooking the water and islands. The sunset is picture perfect. The Jooglo 2 Villa we stayed is of Balinese style. Our family of five felt we were transported to Bali. We enjoyed the ocean from our balcony. The crew and customer service are excellent. Kudos to Sarifa and Angy for the warm welcome from the front desk and for helping us book the private van and island tour. The restaurant service and food are excellent too. Thanks Clark and Royge! Highly recommend Karuna when visiting El Nido.

By far the best Resort we have ever stayed at in the Philippines. Everyone talks about the steep hill.... the problem isn't the steep hill. It is the 10000 cheeseburgers you ate in the two weeks before meeting the hill. BUT - there is a call button at the bottom push it and wait for them to get you! Don't skip this place. You won't regret it. We ate for 5 days (no alchohol) for 150 bucks... and the food was spectacular. I even trusted the water (sort of). Anyways - have fun and go to Karuna!

The place is not easily accessible to the main road. I know the villas are in a cliff but hard to go up and down to go to main road. They have a tricycle to bring you down to the main road . We were told that coming back up to the villa we have to use the intercom at the bottom of the cliff entrance and they will send a tricycle to take as up. We came back at 9:30 pm and the intercom was not working. My husband and I have to walk up in darkness. It was kind of scary. We were short of breath when we reached the front desk. The receptionist on duty said they did not hear anything that maybe the intercom run out of battery. She did apologized and she is really nice . I was not upset with her but I was upset with the situation. I will not recommend Karuna . I will recommend Maramegmeg resort.

We stayed in Joglo 2 for twelve nights and it was honestly the nicest place we have ever stayed.The attention to detail in these villas is beautiful. They are well thought out and very spacious, and the view is spectacular. We made sure we were home to watch the sunset from the balcony every evening.The landscape gardening around the property is a beautiful mix of organised jungle!It is a bit of a climb from the main road, but we had a 125cc scooter, which had no problem carrying us both up the driveway.I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Stay for one night, stay for one month; you will love it!
