Muito caro pelo o que oferece
Pros:

A estrutura do hotel é linda e muito bem cuidada. Ficamos no glamping e amamos, tudo funciona muito bem e é super confortável.

Cons:

Os funcionários são extremamente simpáticos, mas pouco eficientes, precisamos ir várias vezes na recepção por diversos problemas e só ouvimos desculpas e mais nada:
- Entraram no quarto para retirar o telefone, mesmo o funcionário tendo me visto entrar na área do quarto;
- Mudaram a senha do wi-fi e não avisaram;
- Café da manhã repetitivo e muito lento o serviço. Além do menu ser fechado e qualquer coisa além deve ser paga;
- Serviço do Shuttle, mesmo avisando com antecedência pode não ocorrer, tendo que pagar o Tuktuk por fora.

Pros:

La struttura é bellissima. L’appartamento era spazioso e la vista mozzafiato.
La piscina a sfioro offre drink e la possibilità di vedere il tramonto sulla baia.
Abbiamo usufruito del servizio di colazione sul terrazzo della camera, senza nessun costo aggiuntivo.
La struttura ha un servizio di navetta gratuita fino alla città ogni ora e ci ha aiutato a noleggiare il motorino per un giorno.
Il personale é sempre disponibile e gentile.
La colazione fantastica!

Cons:

La navetta per l’aereoporto è un po’ costosa. Noi abbiamo preso un tuktuk spendendo molto meno. Peró per il resto eccezionale.

Amazing views and service. Stunning place!
Pros:

Placeringen, udsigten, servicen. Alt var bare så skønt!

Cons:

Morgenmaden kunne godt være bedre til overnatningsstedets pris. Især at de friske juice kostede ekstra. De kunne godt være inkluderet.

Приятный отель с шикарным видом
Pros:

Персонал очень приветливый. Влюбились в Elena.
Останавливались в вилле 1, в том же здании, где рецепция. Вилла просторная, есть кухня, но мы не использовали. Хорошего качества полотенца, постельные принадлежности и постельное белье.
Бассейн инфинити с шикарным видом и отличной музыкой.
Отель находится на горе, вниз спускают машинки от отеля каждый час, возят в центр Эль Нидо и забирают. Очень удобно. До пляжа Vanila beach ехать на трицикле близко.

Cons:

Звукоизоляции на вилле совсем нет, поэтому слышны ночные завывания фанатов-караоке с улицы. Кондиционеры в спальнях очень шумно работают. Рядом с виллой расположен генератор (может, и нет), но шумел так, что сложно было уснуть.
Еда при отеле посредственная, не сами продукты, а как приготовлена.

A memorable gift of a Christmas family homecoming at Karuna El Nido’s Pool Villa
Pros:

The Pool Villa at Karuna El Nido Villas was exceptional! Beautifully designed with the intention of providing a refuge from the busyness of El Nido yet with a fantastic view of the limestone islands from atop a hill. The infinity pool is happily situated where you feel connected with the amazing view that’s infront of you. Its heated waters allowed our family to swim at night, with the mellow lighting. The amenities provided, along with the impeccable staff service made our family holiday memorable and fun. The complimentary breakfast offered a variety of choices that we enjoyed. The reception and welcome drinks served at our villa set the stage for a great holiday. The villa was very spacious to accommodate all six adults. The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were put together with the purpose of meeting the needs of the guests. The cost was a bit high but worth it for a Christmas family homecoming holiday for us.

Cons:

Although my son and his wife enjoyed their bedroom with the adjacent ‘outdoor bathroom’, I’m glad to have the bathroom which was enclosed next to the other bedroom. It’s nice to look at a ‘bathroom within nature’ but the vulnerability for me would have been too much.

Not all of was perfect, most accommodations on the mountain face the very load road down the hill, the whole night you h
Pros:

Very nice view

Cons:

The management of the hotel: very arrogant and not helping. It felt that being a guest and having requests is an absolute burden for them. It really took the holiday feeling away talking to these ladies. Both, front desk manager and her boss were behaving very different from all the other very nice and helping and friendly personal of the hotel.

Pros:

Les villas sont superbes, situées sur le flanc de colline avec une vue incroyable, accès rapide à la plage et la ville, excellent emplacement. Restaurant en bord de piscine avec vue sur la baie... magnifique pour un cocktail en admirant le coucher de soleil !! Bon choix de plats et petits déjeuners. Equipe pro et aux petits soins, une adresse excellente !
