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 !
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!!!

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).
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.
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 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!
This is a great property. The views are probably best on the island, included breakfast was good and the staff was really good. Quality place, really enjoyed my stay.
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!
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.
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.
Absoloutle stunning property. Our villa was beautiful, clean and comfirtable. The view is unbeatable, the staff were exceptional and the shuttle to and from town was really nice. Only area of improvement could be food, which is good but not amazing like the rest of the property.
Awesome amazing place...staff were top notch...they were goong through some renovations however it was not a factor of bother. Everyone was accommodating. Villa was perfect and the views were beautiful we will be going again...worth every penny.
Beautiful views of el nido and great spacious studio with kitchenette and indoor and outdoor dining area. Nicely decorated, definitely a great place to stay in El Nido.
