Resort vacation rentals in Palawan

Staying at Karuna was very unique, serene, and peaceful. The Karuna team was extremely helpful and amazing during our stay. We felt safe and taken care of. We will definitely be back!

I stayed for eight nights and had an amazing trip – my first time in the Philippines! The staff were all so kind, friendly, and attentive. Their service was truly exceptional. The airport pickup and drop-off was seamless. The hotel is located on a bit of a hill, so there are some inclines to navigate, but the stunning views make it worthwhile. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. The shuttle service was great, as it took us right to our room, and they even helped us with our luggage. The food was also fantastic, with lots of choices. I can't wait to come back!

We stayed with 2 small kids for 2 weeks at Karuna and LOVED it. The restaurant is delicious and the view amazing! The place is peaceful and gorgeous, our Joglo was very beautiful!

Such a beautiful place to stay. The views from our villa were outstanding - beautiful sunsets and unobstructed views of the sea. The room was large and very well presented. The small kitchenette was handy, though we didn't personally require it. The outdoor (but fully private and covered) bathroom was really nice and the shower had brilliant power. My wife and I unfortunately became ill at El Nido (not related to Karuna!) and we couldn't have hoped for a better place to relax whilst we got better. Really cosy environment, had everything we need and the staff were incredibly attentive. Communication through what's app for room service, shuttle to town and housekeeping was efficient and really friendly. The free shuttle service into El Nido town is really helpful and only takes 10 mins. You can walk to the local corong corong area yourself which has plenty of lovely restaurants and bars. I cannot recommend this place enough. We absolutely adored our time here.

We stayed at Karuna and really enjoyed our time here. The restaurant was wonderful, the reception staff was so helpful. They helped us through our food poisoning we got prior and nurtured us back to health. I would recommend this place for everyone. Whenever I go back to El Nido I will definitely stay here again

The place was super nice as described and optimal for two couples. The view was amazing. The shuttle service was excellently organized.

It’s amazing sea view from the room terrace .we can just had the beautiful sunset from the room. We really enjoyed it.hopefully can stay longer here next time.

We had great time, because of nice ocean view, we felt relaxed.... The staff were friendly and accommodating. Eating breakfast in their resto, facing the amazing ocean view was great. Highly recommended for those who likes to feel the nice ambiance of El nido. Being in a hilly location is not a problem, because there is a transport service going to town proper, surely we will comeback again. We are family of 3.

This was by far the best air bnb I have ever stayed at. I can’t put into words how beautiful the place is and the view is easily the best view I’ve ever had for an air bnb. Honestly book this place if you get the chance and I guarantee you’ll stay nowhere better.

We can’t say enough great things about this place! It went beyond what we were expecting for our trip to El Nido. We stayed at Karuna for four nights in studio 2, made use of their complimentary shuttle into town often, and used them to help book our island tours. All the staff were friendly and quick to help with any requests, no matter how big or small. The room was perfect in cleanliness and comfort. The outdoor bathroom was beautiful, and was completely private. It was exactly what I expected for being completely surrounded by trees- lots of geckos and a few moths at night. I would absolutely recommend staying here, and will be staying here again if the Philippines pops up on my travel list again

It's on the expensive side, but you'll get something for that. Pure luxury and you will relax completely.

This stay was very unique and the view was even better than the photos. The location is picturesque but a bit of a drive from other sites - the resort does offer a free ride to town, though. The air conditioning worked well and we were cool in the evenings although ended up in the room sick all one day and got very hot that day. Would still recommend this place for the beautiful views, though!
