Highly recommend
We loved the view, the pool, happy hour cocktails and the food by the pool! The hourly drives to and from town, service and the daily cleans were greatly appreciated. The bath, shower and hammock outside with the view was a lovely surprise!!
Yes there is a hill, but for the lower studios (where our apartment was) it wasn’t an issue for us.
Although we loved the restaurant food during the day, breakfast could have been better (pancakes were great if you like them) and it was quite noisy relaxing by the pool due to construction of the new deck by the pool (hopefully it’s over soon!)

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.

Best place to stay at El Nido!! Staff was helpful attentive. Transportation shuttle was very flexible. Housekeeping made sure our villa was clean and pool was clean as well. Restaurant has so many options it was hard to go eat at other places outside the resort.

Wonderful Villa with a superior view
Wonderful villa with a magnificent view. Very near to vanilla beach.Tricycles are dangerous for children especially at
this hilly road and they can not
climb thw hotel's road. They have a hammock, 2 sunbeds, a table and chairs. Bathroom with shower is open air and nice. We loved the villa.

This property exceeded our expectations. From the staff all the way to our private Villa! We have our own privacy the bedrooms, beds are plenty for our group of 6. The infinity pool and the view of the sunset is just gorgeous. Will highly recommend this property to anybody looking for a great resort. The restaurant food was great too.

Hilltop Haven!
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.

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.
