Nothing

The location is amazing. The island is like a dream, so beautiful! The family that runs the place are very sweet and helpful and the huts are simple but comfortable to sleep in. The view from the huts is incredible.

Could do with a few more comfy hammocks as don't like the net ones.

Beautiful place and excellent location. In El Nido its hard to find somewhere to sleep that is actually on a beautiful beach. Also there's not many places left in the world that are truly back to basics in a pretty much prestine environment.

We visited end of November '22. This place is what we were dreaming of.The beauty of the tropical scenery,the tranquility,everything is dreamy there! The Backpacker's paradise is the best spot on the island,with the best beach to swim properly.We walked to the other 2 camps and we realized that the beach wasn't as good.Lucky us!There's even a shipwreck very close to the shore so you can snorkel there anytime.The huts are beautiful and comfy.The whole area is very clean and well maintained. Most important,the family that runs the place made us feel so welcomed.Everyone did their best to make us happy.The kindness we received was something else. Dad helped with our transfer from/to Teneguiban and Mum's food was super tasty everytime! Can't wait to go back! Love from the 2 Marias

Everything was just perfect. Definitely come back when back in Philippines.

Wonderful place, helprull staff, tasty food at very good price. Crystal clear water - very good for tke snorkeling. The only camp on the island where you have an internet access if you have local sim card. Spent there 3 nights.

Its simple hut, with shared bathrooms… but in paradise! Island is awesome, not many ppl as in El Nido and beatiful sand. Great escape from busy El Nido for a night or two!

Staff is a bit sleepy

The accommodation is directly on a beautiful beach. The whole island is fantastic!

this was one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had! a really isolated island with no one else around it gave me that lost on an island fantasy I’ve always wanted ! beautiful location and staff so helpful and kind. Food was outstanding aswel especially the fish kebab! there is no WiFi but tbh it really added to the isolated getaway feeling! such a cool experience and I wish we could have stayed for longer !

We had the best 4 days of our whole 20 days Filipino trip here on Darocotan island. Life gets simple, reconnecting with nature through its paradise beaches and jungle, soothed by the sounds of nature. The infrastructures are simple, a bed with a moskitoe net in a bamboo haus on the beach and we loved it. Food was very good although a bit more expensive than what you will usually find in other places probably because the food is brought by boat. We were surprised to discover this ship wreck right in front of the resort, full of corals and fish, although the visibility is not the best. This place is a gem. Thank you to all the staff that made my birthday memorable ❤ it was wonderful !

1 day before the arrival day to get any information about « How to Come » it’s maybe too late. There’s a lot thing to know to go there. Transfer, price, distance, hour of FREE transfer boat. And the price of the boat during no Check-in hour.

Perfect little place without crowned tourist area. Nature, silence, few people. Beautiful beaches. Sleeping listening the wave. Staff very helpful. Breakfast and dinner excellent !

No electricity apart from 6pm to 10pm + lots of mosquitos - both of these are not anyones fault and just a part of island life, just be prepared for this.

Andy the manager was very helpful in arranging things for us. The team who cook, clean and arrange boats are very friendly and helpful. I am already recommending this place to my friends, it is so underrated.

Nothing not too like it was brilliant!

We loved it here! The location was perfect & the room was exactly as expected. Great value including a good breakfast. The staff were amazing so helpful and friendly they did everything to make our stay superb!

No wifi and poor satellite service. This is totally fine however it was very difficult to contact anyone in urgent situations. If you’re someone who needs electricity all day, this isn’t for you (I think this added to the experience tbh).

Loved how private, secluded and beautiful this island was. The huts were super cute and the beach was steps away (as it’s also tucked in a little by shape of the island, we didn’t have any wind when other parts of the island did). Tommy was incredibly helpful at all times, very responsive (even at the most awful hours of the night). Everything was perfect. Food was also very good and nice portion sizes!

The best experience I had here on the Philippines till yet (2 weeks here, 2 weeks left). Thank you for your hospitality.

Magical place!! Wonderful beach camp with great and clean facilities and amazing food (it’s really delicious). Staff are amazing. It’s an authentic place, not trying to make money but making a genuinely cool and meaningful experience for guests - there’s not many things like this for tourists! Definitely go! You’ll love it!

a few extra chairs would be great - maybe some additional shade for hot days

Spent 6 nights and loved it - paradise on a beautiful island. Great staff. A real remote island feel to relax. 10/10 Food every dish was delicious.

remote island, small cottages, nice bathrooms. it’s right on the beach, there is also the ship wreck with very nice and healthy corals just couple of metres from the beach. the staff was very kind, the food was amazing. it’s little bit tricky to get to the port, so it’s better to contact the staff in advance - they will call you the tricycle who actually know where he is going.

The only thing we didn’t like was that the resort said ‘Adult Only’ online and on Booking.com but on this night we extended our booking and some children came and were screaming in the day and night which ruined our last night! Apart from that everything was amazing though!

Same review as below!

It was so hot at night but that can’t be helped!

We loved our stay so much and are so sad to have left!! If you are thinking about booking this then do it! The ‘bedrooms’ are small but clean and a good size. Location is amazing!! The view is unbelievable and the water is so clear and warm. This resort has the best location of all the resorts on the island with the best beach and we noticed people from the other resorts always coming to our resort to use the beach! To get there is an hour tricycle from El Nido (800pesos) and then a free boat to the resort. Amazing food!! This has been some of the most amazing food we have had since travelling. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all great with good portion sizes! Toilets were clean and showers too. Thank you so so much to everyone that works there, you were all amazing and we wish we could have stayed longer!
