"Pros: The hostel offers free drinking water, it has a great space to chill out in and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. It’s about a 10 min drive to the centre and a 15 min drive to Las Cabanas beach so ideal if you have a scooter." ~Olivia

"Pros: We stayed at Joglo 5 and had the most amazing experience! Very spacious, peaceful, and beautifully designed, but what really took our breath away was the terrace with its panoramic view; it honestly felt like we were looking at a postcard every morning 😍 Though Joglo 5 is a bit of a walk (100+ steps from the front desk), it’s absolutely worth it for the privacy, tranquility, and unobstructed view of El Nido’s stunning landscape. We loved how secluded it felt! The staff were phenomenal from start to finish. Communication before our arrival was clear and helpful, and they assisted with everything from arranging airport pick-up, organizing private boat tours, to our departure logistics. Everything was seamless and stress-free 🙏🏼 We also loved the WhatsApp chat with the front desk team; it made coordinating plans and transportation so easy! They have a driver available every hour to take guests to town, which was super convenient. The entire team at Karuna is truly amazing! So attentive, friendly and welcoming! Special thanks to Janelyn, her smile and thoughtful attention were so appreciated every morning for breakfast! Huge thanks also to Ellen, Sarifa, and Lester from the front desk team - you guys are rockstars! thank you for taking such wonderful care of us and making our stay so special ❤️ We’re truly grateful for the opportunity to experience this little corner of paradise ☀️ Highly recommend Karuna El Nido Villas!" ~Marcela

"Pros: The location. The beach front bungalow was right on the beach. Beautiful view from the porch. The setting of the resort is beautiful. Breakfast was very good. A lot of restaurants and bars near. Just a 10minute tuk tuk away from the busiest part of El Nido. Cons: It could have helped some more shelves or where to hang clothes." ~Elizabeth
