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.

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!

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.

We are a family of 4, we stayed at Studio 3 for 3 days. From pickup on day 1 to end of our stay, we were treated so well....the staff were so attentive, courteous, and professional! Big thank you to the restaurant staff led by manager Raymond, the sweet ladies Wilma, Jane, Cyra took care of us to make sure our dining experience was flawless. Food was delicious and very pretty presentation! Ellen at front reception was charming and professional. Thank you also to drivers who made sure we were picked up and dropped off on time at airport. The resort is exceptional and stunning, the view is breathtaking, the attention to detail in the studio and resort is impeccable to ensure aesthetically has the Bali inspired theme is there and guests are pampered and comfortable. I will recommend to my friends and family and would come back in heartbeat!

While the property is outside of town, they are beyond accommodating with transportation into and out of town, including the airport pick up. It is up the hill but there are some shops and restaurants that are a short walking distance from the hotel, including a great yoga studio. the rooms and pool have stunning views, breakfast is included and food is pretty good!

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.
