Everything about our stay was amazing. We stayed in Joglo 2, a beautiful unique villa with a wrap around porch overlooking the ocean. The villas are perched on a hill with spectacular views and gorgeous sunsets. You could also catch the beautiful sunsets from the infinity pool and the restaurant. The restaurant was wonderful with many choices. The staff was very attentive (Wilma and Jade in particular). We also had wonderful massages at the spa. In short we loved it !

What a wonderful stay we had in the Jaglo 1 Villa. From the check-in to the checkout, everything was absolutely wonderful. The Philippines spirit of hospitality is very apparent and the staff goes out of their way to make their guests very happy. I would highly recommend staying here for anybody visiting El Nido. Be aware it is on a mountain side so very hilly. If you cannot walk comfortably up hills and down hills, you will struggle to stay at this property. Thank you again to the entire team at Karuna!!!

Beautiful place to stay, amazing view of the sunset, especially from the restaurant and the pool. The staff was very helpful. The room very clean and spacious. The only less nice thing is that the bathroom is outdoors so lots of bugs and reptiles got in the bathroom and sometimes the room (we found a frog inside).

Studio room was great - clean, comfortable, with great views. They really have done a good renovation. Staff were very helpful, they were really trying.
