10/10 Excellent

A mountain side resort with stunning views! The location is close to the town center and nearby tourist attractions. The nearest beach (Vanilla Beach) is around 10-15 minutes from the property. We had a great time in Karuna because of the staff and their hospitality.
View from the pool/restaurant area.
Breakfast coffee with a view!

FEDERICO, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Karuna has breathtaking views, simply beautiful. Dining in their restaurant is an experience itself, the food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and attentive, a wonderful reminder of how proud I am to be of Filipino heritage. The service is very professional and prompt. The pathways have an inline since it’s located in the mountain so if you are unable to physically walk up and down it may not be suitable but if you have no physical limitations then look no further, this place will be amazing!

Amazing view , amazing stuff , great food and beautiful sunset . It’s a but uphill but they have a great transportation service .
Ilaria, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

We woke up on the final day with no water. No one could shower and we had a flight to catch. Also the walkways are way to steep with no handrails. To get to restaurant you must climb approximately 20 steep steps. Completely unsafe, especially for a senior citizen!
Donald, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It really nice and clean stuff are super friendly very helpful not ideal for older people being top on the mountain and stiff to go up and going down is ok the view is amazing but to go beach there’s a travel time

ABDEL GHANI, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Wesley, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff were so helpful, friendly and welcoming. Entrance to the property could look more appealing.
Annie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The villas are wonderful, spacious, and well decorated. The pool and restaurant are great with awesome views. Resort is located at the top of the hills and there's an ongoing road construction, but as long as you coordinate your arrival, they'll pick you up from the main road. Great stay overall.
