It was me and partner’s first time in El Nido and the experience couldn’t have been more perfect. The suite was spectacular and the view was stunning. We were warmly greeted by Anjie, who has been so nice and responsive.
I think for a 3 star hotel, this felt like 5 star.
You get free transportation from the hotel to the town which was super easy to get. The food was really good and the pool was great too. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone. Thanks for an awesome experience!

10/10 would recommend to everyone. This was an idyllic experience for us. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they took care of us, they were always prompt and courteous. They even knew my husband by name which shows a level of attentiveness.
We got two massages while on site and they were on time and very relaxing.
The room was perfect and so comfortable. And the view from our villa was breathtaking. The outdoor bathtub and shower were our oasis. I honestly am very satisfied with our stay at Karuna.
Every meal we had at the resort was tasty and the drinks were well made. Thanks to the staff at Karuna for making our honeymoon perfect!
A few things to know:
Karuna is about 16 min drive from El Nido airport. They offer rides to and from the airport if you call ahead. The room we stayed at is the Joglo Premier. They also offer island hopping tours on site and can guide you.

We enjoyed beautiful days at Karuna, the rooms are beautiful, the staff is very friendly and the breakfast is great. Thank you for this.
Unfortunately we were very disappointed when we checked out. When we came back to the hotel on the first day in the evening, there was a mask/decoration on the floor. We didn't touch them or anything else and we was kindly reported it at the resection. At the End of our stay in Karuna, we were charged 6000 pesos for this mask! We didn't break this decoration, the ribbon that held it was broken. What even more disappointing to us, is that the manager wasn't there and only over the phone blamed us for the broken mask and threatened us if we didn't pay it, it would be deducted from the staff's wages! This is absolutely not fair and more than unprofessional. The manager would have 5 days to talk to us about it, but she wasn't there when we checked out and just left this situation to the staff. We very much doubt the professionalism of the manager in this situation...
We really regret that we had to end our lovely stay at Karuna like this.

We stayed for 3 nights in a studio villa, and loved it! The staff was attentive and friendly, and the luxury infinity pool provided amazing pictures, and the breakfast had a nice variety on the menu.
The hotel was conveniently located near town with free transport back and forth to town. The only negative was that the internet was pretty slow, so definitely not a place you'd want to try and work remote, but otherwise a fabulous property.

Great hotel, great rooms and great service. Would definitely recommend the private pool
villa; but all rooms are beautiful with a breathtaking view.
Only issue is that it’s up a hill, so you will need to walk a bit and plan ahead for the hotel’s driver to bring you up and down to the hotel. Bathrooms are also outdoors, so you might get some bugs.
