The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Whenever we needed to reach them they replied in a timely matter. The villa we stayed in was very beautiful and clean and overlooked a beautiful view. When dining in the restaurant there were many options!

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.

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.

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.
