The people is so polite and helpful , I just felt misinformed or not clear info about the process for the checkout . Please guys you need to warn the people about the amount of stairs to move around , some people have bad legs and it became a little bit of challenge for my friend who has bad knees .

The most amazing hotel experience I’ve had ever had ! Most highly recommended! They had an amazing comfort in the rooms, the pool and the view was stunning! The people working at Karuna was the best, and overall truly nice stay! We btw had a really good massage at the spa :-)
Bonus info that we did not know : they have a car service for free when you stay at Karuna.
Also try their restaurant - very nice!

I had a lovely stay here staying in the Pyramid. The whole place was stunning. It had an amazing private balcony that had tree top views over El Nido. Perfect to watch the sunset. The food served in the bar was lovely and the infinity pool also had amazing tree top views. Sad to only stay one night. The staff were very friendly! Would love to come back.

Hôtel super bien situé avec une vue absolument magnifique.
Les chambres du glamping sont très belle mais malheureusement le service laisse à désirer…
Nous avons réservé un séjour de 4 nuits et sur ces 4, la première le ménage n’a pas été fait dans la chambre, la deuxième nous n’avions pas de serviettes ni d’eau.
Lors de notre Check out une des deux femmes de l’accueil était en FaceTime devant nous sans aucune gêne.
Bref, dommage car hôtel à fort potentiel …

Absolutely loved our stay here! The staff were all so amazing and accommodating for all of our needs. My son got sick during our stay and the staff was always ready to give me transportation to the local pharmacy.

Stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon. The location was beautiful with absolutely stunning views. Staff were lovely. Pool also had stunning views. The hotel service included complimentary shuttle (via Tuk Tuk) to El Nido town which was extremely useful. Overall, fantastic stay and would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

We had an amazing stay at Karuna. A little off the beaten path which is perfect if you want to escape the hectic town. Once up the hill, your greeted with peace and quiet and breathtaking views of the bay. The staff was very friendly and helpful providing us rides to and from town whenever we needed them. The restaurant/pool area was the perfect place to start and end the day with good food and great vibes. The rooms were very clean and had excellent AC which we were grateful for. Does require a bit of stair climbing but not overly burdensome. Overall a great place to stay in el nido, would certainly recommend!

This is an incredible site on the side of a very steep hill. Arriving by tuk tuk from El Nido town (7 mins, 150 PHP) we were dropped at the security gate. A courtesy bike took us up the very steep drive to reception.
We stayed in the Dome, a remarkable view over the bay behind El Nido with a huge deck and wonderful interior space. It’s definitely glamping so keep that in mind. The attention on things that we found important - a great Japanese kettle, fantastic ceramic mugs for tea and coffee, huge wine glasses and a fridge and freezer for chilling down drinks to enjoy on the deck with that view. The bed was comfortable and the features lovely and tasteful. The camping side was the bathroom is a little cramped and annoyingly the air conditioner is placed right above your head on the bed. You need to run this through the night and it had a habit of dripping condensation right where my head rested on the pillow. I’m told they will fix this because they really must. They run a fantastic free shuttle bike into town and can collect you from a central point to return home. The pool was beautiful and the restaurant solid, tasty though a few items missing off the menu. Really loved the stay, so quiet away from the bustle of the streets below.

Glamping at Karuna offers a unique experience with cool but very functional units.
I stayed in the Cocoon until which overlooks at stunning view of the beach and surrounding islands.
The unit itself is beautifully designed and furnished, good air conditioning units, clean, with lots of room. It also features a good size seating area where you can relax and read or just take in the view.
The staff are extremely friendly and will provide you with excellent recommendations around town.
Some people might find the location a little inconvenient as it’s away from the beach and situated atop a hill. But this allows for quieter nights and better views. The hotel does provide a shuttle until 10pm which takes you down to the town centre.
Overall this was a very pleasant experience for me and I would definitely stay here again.

Positives of this property is you are secluded in the beautiful forest with a beautiful serene and comfortable space, the dome tent was beautifully presented and loved the deck area to relax and take in the scenery. The hotel offered shuttle pick up and drop off to the main centre of town which was great because you are a bit too far out to walk. You could rent a scooter but it’s a decent hill climb up and down to the property. The restaurant offered a free breakfast option off the menu which was good to be able to choose something different each day. Their lunch/dinner options were fairly good. Recommend the mango sticky rice and Filipino noodles.

Amazing accommodation. We reserved the Dome and it was beyond our expectations! Lovely infinity pool and bar/restaurant overlooking the beautiful view of the waters.

Completely unique stay with the best view on the island. The Pyramid is really comfortable and has amazing views all around. The balcony space is also great and has the best view over the bay. The free shuttle ride into town and back was also a nice touch.
Only downside was that the airport transfer we had pre-booked didn’t turn up which meant we left 20 minutes later. Staff were otherwise very friendly and helpful.

The room was absolutely beautiful and had everything available 😊
On the other hand, the staff wasn’t very accommodating in terms of assisting with things. We had an early dive morning and when we asked to get breakfast before 7am it was an immediate no. There were other times when attempting to coordinate with the reception that we felt like they could have been more solution oriented instead of just saying ‘we can’t do that.’ The grounds are beautiful and we didn’t mind walking down the huge hill with construction but that’s definitely something most people may be bothered by.

Amazing views! Staff is extremely accommodating and helpful! The only thing i would suggest is adding a umbrella to the outdoor patio at the dome.
