Karuna is exactly as described. They provided transport for our small children & pregnant mother from our apartment to the restaurant because the units are on a cliff. Prepare to do a lot of steps. But it is worth it. The views are spectacular. Staff are very accommodating. Food & drinks are excellent. You will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend
We loved the view, the pool, happy hour cocktails and the food by the pool! The hourly drives to and from town, service and the daily cleans were greatly appreciated. The bath, shower and hammock outside with the view was a lovely surprise!! Yes there is a hill, but for the lower studios (where our apartment was) it wasn’t an issue for us. Although we loved the restaurant food during the day, breakfast could have been better (pancakes were great if you like them) and it was quite noisy relaxing by the pool due to construction of the new deck by the pool (hopefully it’s over soon!)

Lovely hotel about 8 minutes via tricycle from El Nido town centre. Beautiful view from the restaurant, pool and the balconies from the rooms. The beds are extremely comfortable with really soft linen and our bathroom was huge with a lovely big bath tub and a fabulous balcony (Julong 2). The hotel is built on a very steep hill, so if you have bad knees or mobility issues this wouldn't be suitable at all. There are a few restaurants locally that are definitely worth going to, as El Nido town centre itself is very busy. We took a private boat tour (Tour A) that was organised by the hotel that was fabulous and highly recommended. The restaurant serves a good selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and happy hour runs from 4pm - 6pm by the pool. The staff are lovely and the sunloungers are comfortable, although there aren't too many of them. There is some building work going on at the moment so do enquire about this when booking, as it isn't due to finish until March 2025. Overall a really lovey boutique hotel.

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.

Liked: Staff & service
Our room was nice and cosy, although not very convenient with only 1 storage cabinet for a family of 4. The view is outstanding. The staff was polite and helpful, although with limited resources. The hotel sits on a cliff side, so it's not very easy to access all the rooms by foot, there is a shuttle service. Internet is unpredictable, we did not have a decent signal for most of our stay, which includes no TV either, since all the channels are through internet. The restaurant has good food, but many items on the menu were not available during our stay. The rooms are not serviced daily, we had to ask for house keeping. Let's keep in mind that the area is not well developed, so we understand the struggle to keep up with modern tourism expectations. It is overall a good place to stay in the El Nido area, with downsides to consider as well.

Karuna is the most mind blowing place we’ve ever been. The grounds have to be the most beautiful place on the entire island of Palawan, with insane views of the entire Corong Corong area from the comfort of the infinity pool and restaurant. But the otherworldly views are still second to the unbeatable service. Staff are all insanely kind, helpful, with incredible English skills and they don’t let you lift a finger. We stayed in one of the Lumbung rooms and it was clean, stocked with great amenities, perfectly air conditioned, and all with amazing views atop the hill. Van drivers are constantly helping move guests around, restaurant food is actually like 5 star dining (I say that as someone who lives in Southern California and likes to eat at nice restaurants) and the entire stretch of town / beach down below the resort is just steps away. Also - while here we coordinated island hopping tours, massages, nacpan beach private van rides, and more all by simply messaging the front desk or popping in - they coordinated everything for us making it all so easy. The walk up and down to/from town below is steep but super doable and for the younger fit folks it’s a nice way to get some steps in. I have no doubt the attentive team will accommodate you to the best of their ability with van rides, etc. if needed (we took a ride a few times). I mean it with all my heart when I say: this place is so incredibly special. Do yourself a favor and experience it for yourself! Mabuhay!
