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.

We were at the pool area enjoying our food and the bottle we bought when the shareholder came to nag at us and when we tried to let her know we wanted to let her know about the transportation experience she was getting loud that other guests can hear our conversation and she kept talking over us. Overall the front desk, drivers, bartenders, servers and other staff of the property were welcoming and kind. The shareholder made us feel very unwanted.

Overall we were very happy with this hotel and we would stay here again. Gorgeous views, comfortable beds, delicious food, friendly service. The free car service was very useful. The only issue we had was that our air conditioning did not work. We mentioned it a few times to the staff and they said they checked it, but our room wouldn't get below 80 degrees F and the staff did not have solutions for us. Our family was in another suite and we know their air conditioning worked very well, so the issue was specific to our room.

Very nice place with picturesque views of the bay. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Lester worked very hard to find us a private boat tour of the islands last minute. (If you arrive after 5pm ask them to set up a tour before you get there). We almost missed the best day with no rain for the tour but Lester came through in the clutch. Not much to complain about except the lounge chairs on the patio had stains. Needs a little cleaner sprayed on them. Everywhere you want to go on the resort is either uphill or downhill. It’s not that hard to manage but if you are old or disabled you might look elsewhere. All in all it is a great place with wonderful views and services. Tip: Building 4&5 are situated the highest with best views.
