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!

Dome - unique and spectacular.
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.

Unique stay with amazing views
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.

The views from our Pyramid Suite and from the common areas (pool and restaurant) were breathtaking. The staff was exceptional, attentive to our needs, and accommodating. Although the property is not within walking distance to town, transport was seamless. We arranged our island hopping tour through the resort and it was great! My kids had the best time and we’d definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to those looking to stay in a more serene and tranquil property.

The staff were great and helpful. The drivers were great. The Dome had a great view. There was noisy construction happening right underneath our deck hammock, but they said they would not work when we were in our room, so that was great. But the food service wasn’t great. Tried to order certain things just after supper and it seemed like they were always out. Quality of the food wasn’t great either. Ordered eggs multiple ways for our free breakfast and they always came out with runny whites. Scrambled was the best option. There was also a discrepancy in the menu prices of the drinks compared to what was billed. I would encourage anyone who stays here to meticulously look at every receipt before signing off. We only found out on the last day and didn’t notice throughout the week and paid about 80php more per drink than was listed on the menu we were given.

Individuals such as Grace, Flor, Vilma, the entire Bar staff made us feel so welcome with their hard work and effort. They made sure we felt comfortable and helped us with our needs. Thank you! Karuna needs to hire more staff members as those that I mentioned.

Whilst the Glamping accommodation looks very nice and has stunning views, they are definitely style over substance. For the price, I wish I’d stayed elsewhere. The service was one of the worst I’ve ever had at a hotel, the tent gets so hot (even with air con) and the room is full of ants. It really ruined our experience of El Nido and the start of our honeymoon sadly

Very unique stay
We loved everything about this place! The staff were super friendly and so accommodating, from the complimentary shuttles into town, to helping my husband plan a surprise for me while he’s across the globe over email, there was nothing that they were not willing to help with. Not forgetting the amazing view from the cocoon tent we stayed at in the Glamping area which had a really lovely boho modern chic vibe and a stunning view of the bay. One thing to keep in mind though is that this resort is a bit uphill and inside from the roadside so come a bit prepared to climb up and down stairs to get to the restaurant and the pool area which was fine for us but just something to keep in mind if you do decide to stay here. Overall we loved it and will definitely be back again if we visit el nido again

From the breathtaking views to the immaculate room, our stay in El Nido was nothing short of spectacular. The hotel boasts arguably the best views in El Nido, which we couldn't get enough of. Our room was a haven of luxury, featuring exceptional quality bedding that promised a perfect night's sleep every evening. The staff truly went above and beyond in their service, especially when they helped organise a custom dinner setting for a special occasion with my partner, making our experience incredibly memorable. If we ever find ourselves back in El Nido, we would undoubtedly choose to stay here again. Highly recommended for an unforgettable getaway!
