Dryft Darocotan Island

El Nido

Set in El Nido in the Palawan region, Dryft Darocotan Island offers accommodation with access to wellness packages.

Dryft feels like it’s about as remote as you can be from the mainland without feeling stranded. Its private beach and amenities hewn from the island’s natural resources also provide guests with the Swiss Family Robinson experience you’ll take home along with memories of good times shared with the resort’s ‘family’ -Faith (bottled sunshine), Andrea (island chic), and Ang (little shhh). From our orchestrated journey there (at a cost that becomes ever more reasonable as your trip unravels) to the friendly reception, your holiday is in the safest hands. While you might initially balk at being restricted to purchasing food and beverages only from their magnificently constructed central gazebo/restaurant, your every meal soon becomes the highlight of your stay, as the team in the kitchen delivers a culinary montage of exotic dishes packed with ingredients sourced from the local community and with options to your preference at (by mainland standards) affordable prices. Things for note 1) they have (solar/generator) electricity in the hives, which only turned off between 2am and around 6am so if you have CPAP, you can use it, or charge a CPAP battery pack with ease - no stress. 2) For a good time, budget around 2500 php/per couple per day. 3) Take fins for a better snorkeling experience - the reefs around the island are stunning 4) Be generous with mosquito repellent. 4) They have a convenient and complementary supply of clean, filtered water for guests - so leave your single-use plastic behind.

Everything was perfect, Rochelle and her staff made everything to make our stay the best as it could. Bungalow was really spacious, comfortable bed, directly at the beach. It is remote location as we looked for so there was only few tourists and it felt like you have your own private beach. No shops or restaurants near, El Nido is around 1 hour drive so keep that in mind but the food in resort was really delicious and we went to El Nido only for the boat tours wich you can also arrange with Rochelle.

Everything. The staff here were great, very friendly and very helpful, they went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as they could. The newly built rooms were beautifully designed. The facilities were also excellent, free scooter which was so handy, the pool was clean and a nice choice of breakfast and coffee every morning. We originally booked for 2 nights and stayed for 7 we were so happy with the accommodation. Its nicely situated between El Nido town and Lio beach. And let's not forget the free daily in-room massage, perfect after a long day out island hopping or the free access to the gym. Highly recommended.

    The hotel is well located if you want to stay just outside main El Nido. The hotel is about 10 minutes away, but with the good price of tricycles and the hotels shuttle between the town and hotel the location was not an issue. The hotel was excellent, the pool very nice, and food also very good. We had the pool access room, which I would highly recommend if within your budget.
