"The worst DIVE ever. Upon walking in to the area, it was completely nasty. Was offered a room without air conditioning. Are you serious in the Philippines!. Walked right out and did not get a refund eventhough we did not stay there and the terms of agreement were not honored! Be extra careful with these rip-offs!"

Glamping at Karuna El Nido

Glamping at Karuna El Nido

10/10 Excellent
"We got the LDV Room (La Dolce Vita) and the pictures and videos online does not do it justice. The veiws are truly million dollar views. And the Air Con was working great! The staff was excellent in everything they did. Nica was so friendly and helpful. She was also the one that responded the WhatsApp and her responses were timely and accurate. I highly recommend Nica and she truly made our stay memorable and pleasurable! (We booked airport transfers, Tours A and D and a couple of rides by communicating thru WhatsApp). So please make sure you have WhatsApp on your phone! The room is spacious and the bathroom is very clean and spacious also! Besides the room, the food at the restaurant is delicious and flavorful. They have a good assortment of different dishes and the mango float is to die for! We also did the breakfast in the pool (for additional fee)and a lot of great pictures were taken during the breakfast. Please note that a "regular" breakfast was included in our stay and we enjoyed all the foods! Thanks again to Glamping at Karuna and will plan on staying here again when we come back to El Nido!"
