Dryft Darocotan Island

Everything, the peace, the staff, the spectacular food. The only bad thing was that there were about 30‑40 mosquitoes inside the room’s mosquito net at midnight and we had to start killing them; they should be more careful with that.

The place is definitely worth visiting, but the food and activities are quite expensive. A one‑day stay is enough to enjoy it, though the overall cost can add up quickly because of the high prices. The private beach.

The island is beautiful and the accommodation is in a very quiet area, right in front of a beach where you practically stay alone. It’s very easy to get there from El Nido, so you don’t have to worry about anything. The staff were very friendly. They offer paddle‑surf tables and snorkeling gear, as well as yoga classes. The area is very pretty and full of hammocks and places to rest. The rooms are very clean and have a good fan and mosquito net. The common area is very pleasant and in great condition. There is no internet coverage, and no wifi (if you need it for something important they can lend it). A bit expensive. Besides, it isn’t as comfortable as a conventional hotel (small rooms, shared bathroom), but that’s what you know when you book, so it’s not a problem.

“My little paradise on Earth”

Dryft is genuinely one of my favorite places in the world. This was my second time here, and somehow it felt even more special. The island, the beautiful huts, the simplicity of the place, the nature, the energy and, above all, the people make the whole experience unforgettable. I spent my entire stay in the Philippines here this time, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. They took such good care of me and always made sure I had everything I needed. At this point, coming back doesn’t really feel like returning to a hotel — it feels like coming back to a family. I also loved being here during the rainy season. The weather changes throughout the day, with rain, fresh air and beautiful breaks of sunshine, which makes the island feel completely different and allows you to enjoy it without being under the intense heat all day. And the food deserves a special mention, everything coming out of the kitchen is absolutely delicious. The quality, the flavors and the care they put into every meal are genuinely outstanding. Eating there is part of the Dryft experience in itself. For me, Dryft is my little paradise on Earth. I carry this place, its energy and the people here very close to my heart. I already know I’ll be back. Honestly, nothing. Leaving was the only part I didn’t like. 🤍

I recommend asking for private boat trips to Linapaca from the very beginning and organizing lunch and barbecue trips to other islands. The staff made incredible chicken, seafood and fish foods on our boat trips and we enjoyed swimming and exotic drinks all the time. July and August were a great time to visit, we were able to be completely on our own but surrounded by the local expertise always when needed. Thank you for all. Next up to the north 😎
