What an amazing and special place! I did the yoga retreat for 5 days. The includes classes were perfect, but there are also more classes to boocklicke breathwork or HIT workout. We even did sunset yoga at the beach once. Other than that… the food was extremly good and the staff very accomodating and kind. For me it felt like being Part of a family. I had the best time! Thanks to the Dryft Team ☺️

I booked a private Lux Tipi at this resort using PayPal. At the time of booking, I was told via what's app, and I quote, "You can cancel at any time, no questions asked. Simply reach out to our customer service team, and we will process your cancellation and refund immediately." Well, I had to cancel my plans, and did reach out. Their response was they just changed their refund policy, and I would be charged the full amount I already paid to cancel. After some back and forth, they offered to return 50% of the money, but it would take 2-3 days to process. Its now more than three days later, and I've heard nothing, despite several attempts to contact them via what's app. I don't normally post reviews, but everyone should be aware of their business practices.

Overpriced with an average beach. There was not enough comfortable and I stress comfortable places to chill provided, which is fairly important when people are staying in tents etc. There are not enough sun lounges and hammocks provided for guests and the multilayered dining room/chill area has aesthetically appealing furniture which is very uncomfortable, the cushions provide are either taken by guests to lie on the nest and even when on benches way too thin. I was really excited about staying at Dryft but very disappointed by the number of guests and lack of consideration for their comfort. The beach on the other side of the island with cheaper options to stay was so much better. Food is good but expensive

Spent 5 nights here in January. A truly exceptional place. On an idyllic small island, it is a haven of calm (without wifi or phone signal). Cabins are clean and cool, food truly delicious and the staff attentive and friendly. I can't wait to return.

This is truly a hidden gem. We spent 2 nigts in a kubo which was wonderful, but I would recommend 3 nights. The shared shower and bathroom was no problem. They were so nice. The food though is just wonderful and everything is so fresh. Go here when you are tired of all experiences elsewhere on Palawan and wind down. I tried the yoga too, which was a good experience Even for a beginner

Exactly what you picture when you imagine a tropical island. Quirky accomodation added to the picturesque. Limited menu of 4 choices changed every day and was always good. Beach had lots of shady huts and hammocks and water was perfection. We had to change huts as ours had no steps and hoisting ourselves up was a challenge but we are in our 60s and most guests about 30. We managed fine without wifi but no air conditioning was more challenging. Also no issue with shared bathroom but rocky floor also difficult. The staff were absolutely amazing and cocktails also good!

This luxury hostel is located at one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in el nido. The camp is constructed beautifully and you have multiple activities. The food is super duper awesome - the chefs really know their stuff. This was the highlight of the stay... The staff is super friendly and courteous.. Another highlight for me was the shipwreck snorkelling on the other side of the island.. The price for the stay (8000 php) is quite expensive given the facilities ( shared bathroom and no AC). Also given that they charge 1500php per person for transfer from elnido. So the total trip cost of 11000 for 2 is extreme. Suggestion would be to go to the stays on the other side - which lack luxury - but just as good on location..
