The view and staff 10/10. Amazing view from room and pool. Unfortunately was my room close to the road below and the noise made it hard to sleep. I wish that it should be informed when booking the room that it’s close to the road. Their was no possibility to change the room. Staff was excellent, super nice and service minded. Poor choices for breakfast. I had pre-booked a hotel pick up and informed my flight details. Unfortunately was my flight delayed. The hotel didn’t check the arrival and the car waited 1 hour and left. The hotel charged me for the pick up anyway…

We are a family of 4, we stayed at Studio 3 for 3 days. From pickup on day 1 to end of our stay, we were treated so well....the staff were so attentive, courteous, and professional! Big thank you to the restaurant staff led by manager Raymond, the sweet ladies Wilma, Jane, Cyra took care of us to make sure our dining experience was flawless. Food was delicious and very pretty presentation! Ellen at front reception was charming and professional. Thank you also to drivers who made sure we were picked up and dropped off on time at airport. The resort is exceptional and stunning, the view is breathtaking, the attention to detail in the studio and resort is impeccable to ensure aesthetically has the Bali inspired theme is there and guests are pampered and comfortable. I will recommend to my friends and family and would come back in heartbeat!

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!
