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!

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!

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.
