10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Mansion Buenavista was wonderful. Noud, the owner, and the entire staff were exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were taken care of. Our room was cleaned every day, and everything was always spotless. The food was delicious, with every meal prepared fresh and full of flavor. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and offers breathtaking views. What made our stay truly special was the warm, personalized hospitality—we felt more like welcomed guests than customers. Honestly, this was even better than staying at a hotel because of the personal attention, comfort, and home-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for a relaxing place to stay with outstanding service, great food, and genuine hospitality, I highly recommend Mansion Buenavista. We would definitely stay here again."

Glamping at Karuna El Nido

10/10 Excellent
"Our first visit to El Nido, Palawan was absolutely fantastic, and staying at Glamping at Karuna El Nido made the experience even more memorable. We stayed in the Love Triangle accommodation, and the view was spectacular, overlooking the ocean. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. We didn't have to worry about booking our island-hopping tour because they took care of all the arrangements for us. They also provided private transportation wherever we wanted to go, which made getting around so convenient. Our family of five truly had an amazing time in El Nido. We highly recommend Glamping at Karuna El Nido to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and unforgettable stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Their guest service is wonderful! The included shuttle to and from the airport and to local beaches is great! All of the staff are kind and attentive. I had issues with my first room but the hotel quickly provided a room move and sent me fruit and a bottle of wine. The location is situated close enough to town by walking but far enough to not be of the middle of it all. The cliff slide pool/roof deck area is beautiful. Loved the free tote bag as well. The turndown service was also very nice and included cookies. Also the mini bar is complimentary your first consumption. They also will do your laundry complimentary once (I learned this later after I used a service in town) but will note this for next time. The staff learn your names and provide an amazing experience/stay."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was conveniently located two blocks from the beach with a roof-top bar that overlooks the bay. The staff was over-the-top accommodating, food was great and 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. TV was modern with streaming, internet was reliable. The room was comfortable and clean. Downsides, coffee maker in the room didn't work (but in all fairness we forgot to mention it), bed wasn't super comfortable, rooftop bar wifi disconnects you hourly, and parking was scarce but they valet for you if necessary. Highly recommend and we'll be back."
