Glamping at Karuna El Nido

We had a nice stay at Glamping, the room was lovely and had beautiful views. However, the hospitality from the ladies at the front office left much to be desired. The restaurant staff was great, as was the food. And we liked that there was a free shuttle to town. Also, the ladies at the spa gave wonderful massages!

Stayed at the Glasshouse. The room was stylish. The view was priceless. The staff was excellent. Food was great. This place surpassed my expectations. Won’t stay anywhere else if I come back.

Beautiful resort and view . It’s on a hill so be ready to walk uphill . Friendly staff . Good food too

I enjoyed staying here, the view was amazing and the place was just unique. Breakfast was one of my favorite things about this place, stuff is very respectful, friendly and welcoming.

Very comfortable and the staff was exceptional

We stayed at the glamping site at Karuna, DOME and absolutely loved our experience! The view was truly spectacular—waking up to that breathtaking scenery was unforgettable. The food was another highlight—everything we tried was delicious and beautifully prepared. The staff were kind and attentive, making our stay extra special. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and unique stay in El Nido!

Excellent staff & very accommodating especially with my daughter’s dietary restrictions wherein they provided & modified her breakfast meals since she has Celiac. Stunning views from the Dome. Love their shuttle service.

Amazing view from Honey Trap room we stayed in. Food was good, staff are friendly, well maintained property.

Quality experience

Very nice room, the view is incredible and great pool with magical sunset view

We loved our stay in The Dome. The staff were great, the facilities were amazing, the view from our room and the pool were incredible. The breakfast was delicious too. We also had dinner in the restaurant and it was great!

We had an amazing stay glamping at the Dome. The professional staff was very attentive to our needs. The Dome was very impressive with a great view from our bed and wrap around deck of the bay. We enjoyed having dinner during magic hour as the Sun sets poolside at the restaurant.

The room was clean and offered a spectacular view. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. However, the resort's steep inclines and numerous stairs may pose challenges for elderly guests or those with mobility issues, so it may not be suitable for everyone.

Gorgeous property. The views from the honey trap spot are indescribable. Loved the views and the staff were top notch with free shuttle on demand into town and front desk speedy on booking adventures and all other request we had. Highly recommend

This glamping spot was my favorite spot of the entire trip. I wish I had more time there. Would definitely go back.

The people is so polite and helpful , I just felt misinformed or not clear info about the process for the checkout . Please guys you need to warn the people about the amount of stairs to move around , some people have bad legs and it became a little bit of challenge for my friend who has bad knees .

Their restaurant was delicious and transport to in town locations was included so it made plans more convenient. Their staff are very friendly and accomodating. Plus, the views of the ocean is beautiful!

Amazing experience with Karuna. They are so nice and helpful. They made my trip incredible and made me feel safe at all times.

The most amazing hotel experience I’ve had ever had ! Most highly recommended! They had an amazing comfort in the rooms, the pool and the view was stunning! The people working at Karuna was the best, and overall truly nice stay! We btw had a really good massage at the spa :-) Bonus info that we did not know : they have a car service for free when you stay at Karuna. Also try their restaurant - very nice!

I had a lovely stay here staying in the Pyramid. The whole place was stunning. It had an amazing private balcony that had tree top views over El Nido. Perfect to watch the sunset. The food served in the bar was lovely and the infinity pool also had amazing tree top views. Sad to only stay one night. The staff were very friendly! Would love to come back.

We had an amazing stay here! Such a relaxing place with an amazing view of the sunset. The staff was superb!

Can’t emphasise enough , Absolutely stunning views, sunset cocktails served while you’re in the pool. This place is a perfect relaxing getaway X

Hotel oferece muito menos do que aparenta. Serviço ruim, café da manhã fraco, só com uma opção e se quiser um suco tem que pagar à parte. Tem direito a uma bebida quente. Ficamos num quarto que faltava cortina e a que tinha estava quebrada. Os funcionários não conseguiram fechá-la. Eu que tive que dar um jeito. O quarto de vidro, Honey T, não escurecia o teto, por isso, não tinha como dormir bem. Funcionários não sabiam dar as informações corretas e a equipe que trabalha no restaurante é uma das piores que vi em toda Ásia até hoje. Não recomendo o hotel, e está longe de ser um hotel de luxo ou com a hospitalidade tradicional asiática.

The Cocoon was very unique, We loved everything. the only down side was the leaky faucet. The staff were amazing. Beautiful people. So very kind 😊

Hôtel super bien situé avec une vue absolument magnifique. Les chambres du glamping sont très belle mais malheureusement le service laisse à désirer… Nous avons réservé un séjour de 4 nuits et sur ces 4, la première le ménage n’a pas été fait dans la chambre, la deuxième nous n’avions pas de serviettes ni d’eau. Lors de notre Check out une des deux femmes de l’accueil était en FaceTime devant nous sans aucune gêne. Bref, dommage car hôtel à fort potentiel …

good service except the restaurant service was slow & need more food options, stunning views from the restaurant, good food, Coccon room was decorated beautifully with gorgeous views!

Absolutely loved our stay here! The staff were all so amazing and accommodating for all of our needs. My son got sick during our stay and the staff was always ready to give me transportation to the local pharmacy.

Stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon. The location was beautiful with absolutely stunning views. Staff were lovely. Pool also had stunning views. The hotel service included complimentary shuttle (via Tuk Tuk) to El Nido town which was extremely useful. Overall, fantastic stay and would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

Hotelli oli todella upea. Ja huone juuri sellainen kuin odotettiin. Allas alue aika pieni. Ruoka ei ollut niin hyvää, kuin odotettiin. Ollaan saatu paljon parempaa halvoissa muovituolipaikoissa. Myös aamupala oli suppea ja tylsä. Olis odottanut että tämmöisessä hotellissa olis buffet, mutta ei. Valmis lista josta valitset sitte sen perus paahtoleivän ilman lisukkeita. Varattiin myös aamuksi taksi kentälle ja aamulla sitä ei kuulunu. Monen soiton jälkeen tuli puoli tuntia myöhässä retunen tricycle ja melkein myöhästytti lennolta.

Amazing stay at the Glamping! Beautiful room and even more beautiful view. Staff was available, helpful and kind. Really recommend!

Wir haben 6 Nächte in der Pyramide verbracht & fanden es wunderbar. Haben von Anfang an ein Scooter gemietet und sind damit herumgefahren. Es war alles bestens!

We had an amazing stay at Karuna. A little off the beaten path which is perfect if you want to escape the hectic town. Once up the hill, your greeted with peace and quiet and breathtaking views of the bay. The staff was very friendly and helpful providing us rides to and from town whenever we needed them. The restaurant/pool area was the perfect place to start and end the day with good food and great vibes. The rooms were very clean and had excellent AC which we were grateful for. Does require a bit of stair climbing but not overly burdensome. Overall a great place to stay in el nido, would certainly recommend!

Et helt fantastisk overnattingssted, som virkelig gir valuta for pengene. Det er kun ett år gammelt, og jeg vil gjette at prisene kommer til å øke betraktelig i løpet av de neste årene. Vi bodde i the jungle lodge, og utsikten var helt fantastisk! De ansatte ordnet også med en bursdagskake til guttungen, og viste en enorm service gjennom oppholdet vårt på tre netter. Dette er virkelig en perle, og vi gir det 10/10!

This is an incredible site on the side of a very steep hill. Arriving by tuk tuk from El Nido town (7 mins, 150 PHP) we were dropped at the security gate. A courtesy bike took us up the very steep drive to reception. We stayed in the Dome, a remarkable view over the bay behind El Nido with a huge deck and wonderful interior space. It’s definitely glamping so keep that in mind. The attention on things that we found important - a great Japanese kettle, fantastic ceramic mugs for tea and coffee, huge wine glasses and a fridge and freezer for chilling down drinks to enjoy on the deck with that view. The bed was comfortable and the features lovely and tasteful. The camping side was the bathroom is a little cramped and annoyingly the air conditioner is placed right above your head on the bed. You need to run this through the night and it had a habit of dripping condensation right where my head rested on the pillow. I’m told they will fix this because they really must. They run a fantastic free shuttle bike into town and can collect you from a central point to return home. The pool was beautiful and the restaurant solid, tasty though a few items missing off the menu. Really loved the stay, so quiet away from the bustle of the streets below.

Vilket fantastiskt ställe! Bodde hur bra som helst, vilken magisk utsikt. Bodde i deras ”Dome”. Så cool. Väldigt serviceminded personal. Körde en gratis in till stan varje dag och hämtade en när man ville. Bokade utflykter till oss och hjälpte till med allt man frågade om.

It was beautiful and service was excellent! We stayed at the jungle lodge. It had privacy and beautiful views.

Glamping at Karuna offers a unique experience with cool but very functional units. I stayed in the Cocoon until which overlooks at stunning view of the beach and surrounding islands. The unit itself is beautifully designed and furnished, good air conditioning units, clean, with lots of room. It also features a good size seating area where you can relax and read or just take in the view. The staff are extremely friendly and will provide you with excellent recommendations around town. Some people might find the location a little inconvenient as it’s away from the beach and situated atop a hill. But this allows for quieter nights and better views. The hotel does provide a shuttle until 10pm which takes you down to the town centre. Overall this was a very pleasant experience for me and I would definitely stay here again.

Positives of this property is you are secluded in the beautiful forest with a beautiful serene and comfortable space, the dome tent was beautifully presented and loved the deck area to relax and take in the scenery. The hotel offered shuttle pick up and drop off to the main centre of town which was great because you are a bit too far out to walk. You could rent a scooter but it’s a decent hill climb up and down to the property. The restaurant offered a free breakfast option off the menu which was good to be able to choose something different each day. Their lunch/dinner options were fairly good. Recommend the mango sticky rice and Filipino noodles.

This hotel is just fantastic. New modern and with a fantastic view. The service was fantastic!

Nous avons logé dans la piramide et le logement et la vue était incroyable.

Amazing accommodation. We reserved the Dome and it was beyond our expectations! Lovely infinity pool and bar/restaurant overlooking the beautiful view of the waters.

Completely unique stay with the best view on the island. The Pyramid is really comfortable and has amazing views all around. The balcony space is also great and has the best view over the bay. The free shuttle ride into town and back was also a nice touch. Only downside was that the airport transfer we had pre-booked didn’t turn up which meant we left 20 minutes later. Staff were otherwise very friendly and helpful.

Buena atención y personalizada, rica comida y sobre todo vistas increíbles! Vale la pena sin duda!

The room was absolutely beautiful and had everything available 😊 On the other hand, the staff wasn’t very accommodating in terms of assisting with things. We had an early dive morning and when we asked to get breakfast before 7am it was an immediate no. There were other times when attempting to coordinate with the reception that we felt like they could have been more solution oriented instead of just saying ‘we can’t do that.’ The grounds are beautiful and we didn’t mind walking down the huge hill with construction but that’s definitely something most people may be bothered by.

Amazing views! Staff is extremely accommodating and helpful! The only thing i would suggest is adding a umbrella to the outdoor patio at the dome.

Had a fantastic time! Staff was super amd very helpful! Would definetly go back! Sunsets were out of this world!

We love it so much. Very friendly

The views from our Pyramid Suite and from the common areas (pool and restaurant) were breathtaking. The staff was exceptional, attentive to our needs, and accommodating. Although the property is not within walking distance to town, transport was seamless. We arranged our island hopping tour through the resort and it was great! My kids had the best time and we’d definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to those looking to stay in a more serene and tranquil property.

The staff were great and helpful. The drivers were great. The Dome had a great view. There was noisy construction happening right underneath our deck hammock, but they said they would not work when we were in our room, so that was great. But the food service wasn’t great. Tried to order certain things just after supper and it seemed like they were always out. Quality of the food wasn’t great either. Ordered eggs multiple ways for our free breakfast and they always came out with runny whites. Scrambled was the best option. There was also a discrepancy in the menu prices of the drinks compared to what was billed. I would encourage anyone who stays here to meticulously look at every receipt before signing off. We only found out on the last day and didn’t notice throughout the week and paid about 80php more per drink than was listed on the menu we were given.

Definitely recommend staying here! So so beautiful, the views are amazing! Room was clean and staff was extremely accommodating and attentive. Will be staying here for sure if I ever come back

Individuals such as Grace, Flor, Vilma, the entire Bar staff made us feel so welcome with their hard work and effort. They made sure we felt comfortable and helped us with our needs. Thank you! Karuna needs to hire more staff members as those that I mentioned.

Glamping in Karuna was an amazing experience. we truly enjoy the ambiance’s the staff are friendly and helpful. The Restaurant within the Villas has outstanding views over looking the ocean and food were delicious and variety of selections. Most definitely recommended place to stay. Downside are the stairs it’s a hike up and down. But overall we had an awesome 😎 time. Definitely we will be back in the future visit.

The best place we've stayed in El Nido. Will be back in the future for sure

It’s not a five star hotel. At five star hotels they remember things, they are pro active and they give you great service. Prolonging a stay meant a lot of work - so instead of saying “you can go I. With your day, we will fix this while you are away” one had to wait in the lobby. So it’s a 3-star hotel that somehow has managed to get 5 stars. The rooms themselves are good, but noisy.

Très beau resort avec une vue extraordinaire. Le logement est au calme du centre de El Nido.

Très beau resort avec une vue extraordinaire, on ne s’en lasse pas. Le logement est au calme du centre de El Nido mais une navette est mise à disposition par le resort

Whilst the Glamping accommodation looks very nice and has stunning views, they are definitely style over substance. For the price, I wish I’d stayed elsewhere. The service was one of the worst I’ve ever had at a hotel, the tent gets so hot (even with air con) and the room is full of ants. It really ruined our experience of El Nido and the start of our honeymoon sadly

We loved everything about this place! The staff were super friendly and so accommodating, from the complimentary shuttles into town, to helping my husband plan a surprise for me while he’s across the globe over email, there was nothing that they were not willing to help with. Not forgetting the amazing view from the cocoon tent we stayed at in the Glamping area which had a really lovely boho modern chic vibe and a stunning view of the bay. One thing to keep in mind though is that this resort is a bit uphill and inside from the roadside so come a bit prepared to climb up and down stairs to get to the restaurant and the pool area which was fine for us but just something to keep in mind if you do decide to stay here. Overall we loved it and will definitely be back again if we visit el nido again

From the breathtaking views to the immaculate room, our stay in El Nido was nothing short of spectacular. The hotel boasts arguably the best views in El Nido, which we couldn't get enough of. Our room was a haven of luxury, featuring exceptional quality bedding that promised a perfect night's sleep every evening. The staff truly went above and beyond in their service, especially when they helped organise a custom dinner setting for a special occasion with my partner, making our experience incredibly memorable. If we ever find ourselves back in El Nido, we would undoubtedly choose to stay here again. Highly recommended for an unforgettable getaway!

Vi havde nogel dejlige dage her. Værelset var helt nyt, så det var meget fint. Udsigten var skøn! Men der var håndværkere lige foran værelset fra kl. 7 om morgenen på to nye huse, så der var larm dagen lang.

It’s was awesome! The rooms of glamping have wonderful view. The best time to check out the sunset!

What a lovely stay we had. Staff are wonderful. The place has the most amazing views. So lively and quiet but accessible for town with free transport for guests. Would highly recommend.

The service at Glamping at karuna was impeccable, with attentive staff . From check-in to dining, the team's hospitality shone through, creating a memorable stay. The amenities and stunning surroundings further elevated the overall glamping experience. Highly recommend for those seeking a perfect blend of comfort and nature.
