"Our first visit to El Nido, Palawan was absolutely fantastic, and staying at Glamping at Karuna El Nido made the experience even more memorable. We stayed in the Love Triangle accommodation, and the view was spectacular, overlooking the ocean. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. We didn't have to worry about booking our island-hopping tour because they took care of all the arrangements for us. They also provided private transportation wherever we wanted to go, which made getting around so convenient. Our family of five truly had an amazing time in El Nido. We highly recommend Glamping at Karuna El Nido to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and unforgettable stay."

"We had an amazing stay at Bahala Na Villas during our trip to El Nido! From the moment we arrived, the staff gave us such a warm welcome. Check-in was quick and easy, they helped us with our luggage, and explained everything we needed to know, including the food, drinks, and water. They even had a pitcher of filtered drinking water ready in the refrigerator, which we really appreciated. The villa was beautiful and truly felt like a home away from home. Both bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and having our own private pool made our stay even better. The location is a little farther from the town center and the beach, but it wasn’t an issue for us. We rented a tricycle on our first day and later a van to get around. Transportation was easy to arrange, and we loved coming back to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of the villa after exploring. It rained for most of our trip, but that actually made us appreciate the villa even more. We spent our evenings ordering food and drinks, getting massages, relaxing by the pool, and simply enjoying time together. The staff truly made our stay exceptional. Everyone was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Their hospitality made us feel so welcome throughout our stay. Thank you to the entire Bahala Na Villas team for making our vacation so memorable. We had an amazing time and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!"

"Their guest service is wonderful! The included shuttle to and from the airport and to local beaches is great! All of the staff are kind and attentive. I had issues with my first room but the hotel quickly provided a room move and sent me fruit and a bottle of wine. The location is situated close enough to town by walking but far enough to not be of the middle of it all. The cliff slide pool/roof deck area is beautiful. Loved the free tote bag as well. The turndown service was also very nice and included cookies. Also the mini bar is complimentary your first consumption. They also will do your laundry complimentary once (I learned this later after I used a service in town) but will note this for next time. The staff learn your names and provide an amazing experience/stay."

"The hotel was conveniently located two blocks from the beach with a roof-top bar that overlooks the bay. The staff was over-the-top accommodating, food was great and 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. TV was modern with streaming, internet was reliable. The room was comfortable and clean. Downsides, coffee maker in the room didn't work (but in all fairness we forgot to mention it), bed wasn't super comfortable, rooftop bar wifi disconnects you hourly, and parking was scarce but they valet for you if necessary. Highly recommend and we'll be back."
