Richcoast Darocotan El Nido

04-06.05.2026 I got this place recommended by a fellow traveler, and I absolutely loved it! The location is incredibly relaxing and authentic, offering a truly special experience. The huts are simple, but the beds are very comfortable. Both breakfasts and dinners were excellent. The crew was fantastic—special thanks to Wil, Marcel, and Judy for taking care of me like I was part of their family. I also want to give a big shoutout to the boat crew: Norman, Dodoy, and Arah. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine and memorable getaway!

Paradise island !

The accommodation is on the beach, the beach is pretty nice and it is possible to snorkel at a ship wreck with a lot a different fish from the beach.

The hotel cancelled our booked transportation to the island the evening before our arrival and we had to go by tuk tuk and a small fisherman's boat instead. The accommodation was expensive for what you get. The food is boring. Many dogs are running around. Cats were sleeping in our house in the morning. The sheets in our house were old and there were holes in the mosquito nets. The personnel of the accommodation sang karaoke in hours daily. The island is not the paradise it possible was before, the hotels have expanded to much. I recommend you to stay at another accommodation on the island or only visit Darocotan Island as a day visitor.

The hotel is very rustic and basic,but you are not visiting this place for the hotel.It’s the dreamy beach that it rests against that’s the star attraction.The hotel food is fresh and exceptionally tasty.

The beach huts that you stay in are basic shacks and situated next to a noisy bar where loud music and karaoke plays until 10pm.The private boat trip excursions are also massively overpriced.

Vue magnifique, lits confortables, emplacement privilégié

Ménage non fait à notre arrivée, chasse d'eau disfonctionnelle, pas de pommeau de douche, service au restaurant long alors qu'on était seule, fermeture du restaurant à 21h, commande du petit déjeuner à 8h, à 8h30 nous dit qu'il n'y a plus de pain, servi ensuite à 8h45 et nous devions partir à 9h. Les petits déjeuners étaient compris avec la chambre, finalement nous les avons payé en plus, le matin réveil très tôt par des personnes qui chantaient et parlaient forts.

Very nice location and the staff was very cool The eco bungalows were surprisingly comfortable as well as clean

- Beautiful surroundings and relatively quiet. - Clear blue water on a very beautiful island. - An interesting shipwreck available for diving, located 10 minutes away. - A nice lady as the manager. - The food we order there was tasty.

- Toilet : No warning about the lack of hot water, which made some nights uncomfortable. Also, when we arrived, the sink could be cleaner, there was used dirty soap from the previous guests in the sink. Places can me simple but clean. - Workers played loud music past midnight on two nights, - Occasionally, there was an unpleasant gutter-like smell on the beach in front of the property, possibly due to nearby construction work, not sure. This smell was not present in other parts of the island. - No contacts or partnerships for el nido tours. So we had to ask around the island and, of course, in the other places we werent their guests so they couldn't care less and provided lousy service.

Staff was helpful and hospitable. The beach and location was beautiful. The food was good as well.

Beds were not comfortable for me personally because of back issues and body pain.

Everything here is amazing! I stayed in the more quiet camp in what can only be described as a treehouse with an amazing view over the beach with clean bathroom and excellent shower pressure. Everything was perfect! The staff went above and beyond - a special shout out to  Marcy and Jerry, thank you for making my stay so comfortable and the food so tasty. The island itself has its own vibe which is contagious. Darocotan and it's people will stay in my heart forever!  - Julia you are a diamond in the rough, keep doing what you are doing x

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Ottima la posizione sul tratto di spiaggia piû bello dell isola

La pulizia lascia a desiderare,nessuna sdraio o attrezzatura per sdraiastri in spiaggia al di fuori di due amache,privacy totalmente assente in quanto capanne attaccate una all altra ristorante passabile peccato perchè con una gestione migliore e qualche accorgimento avrebbe grandi potenzialità

Bien placé au meilleur endroit de l’île pour la baignade .

El alojamiento está muy bien. Son pequeñas cabañas de bamboo, bien construidas, con ventiladores y muy cómodas. La vista desde la playa es fantástica y puedes pasar unos días increíbles allí. El traslado lo proporciona el dueño del lugar, con el puedes coordinar los horarios de llegada y salida de la isla, es un servicio personalizado y muy cómodo.

Cobraron un adicional del 10%, pagando en efectivo, no informado previamente en todo lo que gastes allí. Incluso de los traslados.

WILD MINIMIMAL. SE CERCHI QUESTO TOP ANDY TIP!

.

Struttura difronte al mare ( il mare più bello dell isola) Colazione, pranzo e cena disponibili a pagamento ed era tutto buono

Bungalow molto basiche anche se la nostra aveva il bagno

La ubicación, enfrente de una playa idílica, la mejor que estuvimos en Filipinas

Las cabañas están muy juntas y se escucha todo. En el restaurante ponen música alta. La comida y el servicio del restaurante no es bueno y tampoco se esmeran por mejorar

Gute Lage

Zimmer sehr klein und mussten immer nachfragen wegen der Reinigung Esser sehr Schlecht

Very nice location, beautiful sunset, friendly staff. Shipwreck in front beach better bring your own snorkel gear. We stayed there for ten days. If you’re lucky there will be days like you’re the only guest there on the camp.

One Barking dog in earlier of our stay, You just need to make friends of him and have a little talk lol, Bring your own insect repellent (ants, mosquitoes).

Der schönste Strand der Insel auch wenn jeden Tag Boote vorbeikommen mit Tagesausflüglern.

Heruntergekommene Bungalows, die während des Aufenthalts nicht gereinigt werden, Mückenplage, mückennetz mit 100 Löchern - kann man auch direkt weggelassen. Inkompetentes faules Personal. Das einzige was die motiviert machen ist schlecht Karaoke singen. Frühstück und Essen im allgemeinen überteuert, obwohl in den anderen Resorts der Insel besser und günstiger.

Siamo arrivati sull’isola e non era disponibile la camera prenotata, siamo stati accomodati nell’unica stanza rimasta dietro alle cucine, totalmente un’altra cosa rispetto a quanto prenotato. Nessun avviso, hanno fatto finta di niente.

Posizione

Bagni in comune poco puliti e poco funzionali

Лучший пляж и условия в домике со своим душем и туалетом. Добродушный персонал и очень вкусная еда.

Нет европейских розеток, поэтому зарядить телефон проблема, нет пуфиков и шезлонгов на пляже, только столы и стулья, еда в кафе вкусная но цены завышены. Во всех других гестхаусах на острове есть термос с кипятком в общественной зоне. Если эти три незначительные проблемы убрать то это жилье будет идеально.

We got a beach house facing straight to the ocean like 10 steps from the Cristal clear water. The shower toilet working good and the bed was ok and comfortable. The best about this location is the amazing movie like beach with white sand blue water and shells everywhere.

The owner tries to make this place a bit like a party place. For example : Blinking light chains around the palm trees all night and day - you have the best night sky in the world but can’t watch it cause it’s disco time. Karaoke during dinner times. Loud music sometimes. This doesn’t have to be- many people I talked to come to relax - disappear from society and noise for some days. “ castaway”. Less would be more. Less bling bling lights - maybe a torch or two for the evening, some comfortable guitar music or no music at all. Enjoying the calm island life instead of party. Most foreigner have party everywhere - maybe on this island we want to relax. Please fix the Moskito nets. Sand flies and bed bugs are an issue which seems to be a part of living at the beach. No late night sitting outside without totally hard painful bites all over. I hope the bed bugs can be beaten by the stuff somehow- I hear the other hotels there don’t have the problem. The food is ok but definitely not amazing. For a one night stay it’s ok but we stayed 5 nights- so we discovered the whole island and figured out that on the east end of the island is a more expensive beach hut stay that have the most amazing with love cooked dishes available and out house guest are very welcome. We highly recommend to eat there. But I do appreciate that the stuff even told us that going there is ok for them and didn’t force us to eat in house.

Wild experience, basic camp, friendly staff, awesome beach and location

Too wild (but it’s part of experience)

S'y étant rendu après le passage d'un gros cyclone, les circonstances étaient un peu spéciales et le camp en cours de restauration. Cependant, isolé sur un bout de plage.

Bungalow famille très très petit, et vraiment rustique.

PROS: Its my second time in Bice Camp in Darracotan island and I enjoyed my stay and could relax. The staff is very kind and welcoming there and the food is delicious. The island and the underwater life in those parts of the which are still intact are beautiful even though there is not so much fish left, probably because of overfishing as a result of tourism. CONS: - good advice to tourists: bring your own 8 Liter gallon DRINKING WATER to the island- you can buy it in any supermarket in El nido or bring water from the refilling station in Teneguiban town. There is no free drinking water provided any more and the toursists need to buy every liter of water in plastic bottles for 100php (1,9€) in Bice camp or for 50 php in the village nearby. This is insane considering the environmental impact and the fact that recycling still does not happen reliably and the over-useage of ressources drains our planet. All the other resorts on the island provid free drinking water from the local refilling station in Teneguiban with filtered mineral drinking water. I think the selling of water is a very lucrative extra income that the management of Bice Camp wants to get access to. I suggest raising the price of the accomodation for 100 php per night rather offer free water again (not in plastic bottles)- like it was the case in Bice Camp, 2 years ago.

No free drinking water, only sold in plastic bottles, very expensive and not eco friendly at all.

It's a nice place with lovely people hosting the place. The whole Island was still a bit messy because of the recent typhoons, but everything was worked on when we were there

Shower, sometimes no water

Hele fijne lokatie met hele lief zorgzaam personeel. Aanrader.

Staff super accogliente. Tutti sorridenti e disponibili. Da sottolineare Andy che ha mi ha mostrato l’isola e raccontato aneddoti interessantissimi. È stato senza dubbio un valore aggiunto. La posizione è paradisiaca, direttamente in spiaggia e in un luogo incredibile

Struttura con servizi da rinnovare ormai troppo vecchi.

Wij bleken de enige gasten in dit mini resortje te zijn, sterker nog de enige gasten op het hele eiland. Dat gaf ons echt een Expeditie Robinson gevoel. Wij vonden het geweldig! Maar realiseer je dat dit echt back to basic is! Een prachtig gemaakt bamboe(boom)huisje. Drie slaaphokken met klamboes. Het huisje is gebouwd op het strand en ook in het huisje loop je dus op het zand. De buitendouche is geweldig en ook het aparte (grote) toilet is fijn. Op meerdere plekken rondomnhet huisje buitendouches en wastafels, heel handig. Verwacht geen luxe maaltijden, maar her eten is prima, reken alleen wel op minimaal 1 uur voor je je eten krijgt. In het nabij gelegen resort kun je gebruik maken van de wifi, handig. En in het lokale gedeelte van dit eiland, 2 min lopen, zitten 2 mini shopjes waar je wat chips, koek ed kunt kopen. Andy was onze host op het eiland en is een gouden jongen. Super behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Wil je overal mee helpen! Onze zoon was in een gevaarlijk vis gestapt en hij heeft al het mogelijke gedaan om ons zo goed en snel mogelijk te helpen.

Zodra de zon ondergaat zijn er veel muggen, maar dat is logisch. Wij kregen 2 ventilatoren, waardoor we er een stuk minder last van hadden. En zodra de zon onder is is het donker, dus ke gaat hier vroeg slapen en vroeg weer op.

La gentillesse du personnel

Le Bice Camp aurait dû être fermé en raison de la météo. Mais on ne nous a pas prévenu. Le.Bice camp était vide. Nous y sommes allés et sommes répartis aussi vite, car on nous avait transféré dans un bungalow ouvert dans la forêt, avec douche dans la terre, matelas au sol, les insectes, pas d"'eau. Au lieu de 2 petits bungalows sur la plage qui prenaient l'eau et le vent. La route pour accéder au port était fermée sur 2 kms ( nous avons dû marcher). La traversée en.bateau était très dangereuse, on nous a même proposé de nager pour atteindre l'île On ne nous avait pas prévenu et bien sûr, on ne nous a rien remboursé et même fait payer plus cher le Bateau retour.

Ideal pour se couper du monde pendant quelques jours, le calme règne sur ce bout d’île, le personnel est très accueillant, la nourriture est bonne

Les sanitaires sont à partager (logique vu l’emplacement de l’île) et les nuits sont chaudes mais on signe pour cela !

It was very secluded and quiet. You stepped from your room onto the sand.

It just wasn't for me as a person. I found it too restrictive. If you want a cast away secluded experience you would love it.

I had a wonderful time at Bice Camp. It has the best beach on the island, with white sand and crystal clear water. The food is tasty, the huts are very sweet, right on the beach, and the team of people there are so warm and welcoming. Thanks to Salio, Analy, Pong, Andy, and the rest of the team for making my stay unforgettable!

AMAZING location and super friendly accommodating staff! The chef was also wonderful and able to cater to my vegetarian diet and do special requests! Equipment was available to snorkel the wreck right in front of the beach huts, and it was very comfortable! Even in rainstorms and wind it was comfortable and not damp inside and the staff do absolutely everything to make sure it is the best experience!

The shower is essentially useless - not enough pressure to rinse off sand let alone wash hair, etc. Not ideal for extended stays, would be better to ask for a bucket and dipper.

The staff were super nice and island itself is beautiful.

The mattress was horrible, so uncomfortable and had bed bugs as you can see by the photo of their fezes on it and by the bites all over our body on the morning. The beach had a lot of garbage on the water, possibly from all the boats that stop in front of it.

I loved the simple and authentic nature of the accommodation and facilities. Might not be for everyone, but for us it was a great escape to just focus on the peace and beauty of the island. The beach is stunning and one of the best beaches we found in the Philippines. Great food available at the restaurant too. Best fish I’ve had in a long time! The staff were also incredible people and some of the nicest people we’ve met on our travels.

Super cute and clean! They have the best beach and the sunken ship is in front! so, is one of the best options of Daracotan!

Lack of shower pressure in our shower..it was difficult to take a shower. But Maybe ir was just ours.

The most incredible setting ever. Relaxed atmosphere great food, lovely staff special mention to Andy and Tom the owner. Tom is a great host, super organised and efficient, and very generous.

Definetaly an amazing place, staff is super helpful. It’s a small island, not much to do actually, but that was our purpose to get there. The food was good, remember it’s an island, everything comes from the mainland, so prices could be a little bit up. But the accommodation is super cheap compared to what is offered. There is a small shop near the camp area to buy things if you need.

Rooms don’t really have privacy, so many holes, it’s okay tho.

Everything about this place is pretty magical. But the staff and other travellers made it an absolute joy. There is enough to do to keep one busy for days. Exploring the island and surrounding islands. The boat tour is a must. Especially for sunset. Bice is a peaceful place and has the best beach of the bulk of the island. Well sheltered and the waters lovely. It's a no frills island retreat. So powers off at 10pm ISH. And this sleep and the stars are insane!

Leaving

Really nice location directly at one of the nicest beaches we saw during our whole Palawan trip. Snorkling in the morning at the shipwreck is stunning. Staff is really friendly and the food at the restaurant is delicious (even for vegetarian). I would recommend to stay here at least 2-3 nights.

It would be great to send the check-in instructions earlier than only 1 day before arrival. Standard transfer and check-in hours are limited such that one needs to be ready for pick-up in El Nido between 11:30 and 12:30 to get a good price for the transfer with van and boat. This is okay but should be communicated earlier to plan accordingly.

Nice place and the staff are very nice and kind! The location is beautiful, right on the beautiful beach, and the food is good. It is also very close to more beautiful beaches and to Dryft camp, where you can go for yoga classes (with payment of course). The shower is private and the toilet are shared.

When we arrived the bed linen was very dirty, but when we asked they changed it right away. Every morning there is a strong smell of smoke that enters the bungalow. Note that not all the bungalows face the sea like in the pictures, some are more at the back, but very close to the beach. Note that the shower water is cold (it is written in the description of the place and it was not bad because it is hot outside).

No frills, simple and very comfortable cabins on the beach. Great for people who love simplicity and the feeling of sand between your toes from the minute you step out the door. You feel a mile away from the rat race. Andy and the team were friendly and helpful from the moment we booked to the moment they dropped us back in El Nido - just fabulous. Initially booked one night and stayed 5.

There is nothing to dislike

Rubbish

Rubbish

The beach was beautiful and the staff were super friendly. The food was okay-we enjoyed it.

It was hard to find comfortable seating-chairs with a backrest. There were hammocks and some benches but these got used up pretty quickly when many people were staying there. The shared toilets weren’t ideal but that’s not surprising given we were out on a small island. People need lessons on how to use them when they arrive.

We had a wonderful stay. The room was spotless, and exactly as described. The bed was comfortable, and the amenities provided made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff was friendly and always ready to assist with any requests. The location was perfect. Overall, a great experience—I would definitely stay here again!

As soon as we arrived onto the Island we were greeted by Andy and Marcelle. All the staff were wonderful and kind. The food and drinks were good and the prices were very reasonable. If you want a feel of paradise then this is your spot. It’s quiet and tranquil but also has lots of character. The faculties are basic, but clean. It’s quirky camping! We will definitely be back.

Leaving 🥲

Lovely island location, nice staff

I had an amazing five days staying at Bice Camp on Daracoton. The place is so lovely, you wake up and you are on a beautiful beach (the best spot of the island). It's simple living and that's what makes it so special. Big thanks to the team at Bice especially to the lovely Marcelle, and to Pad and Andy. Also, a special mention to Noel from the boat crew who is so caring, helpful and funny - he's the best!

Perfect location on Darocotan Is

but the least loved of five resorts with no beach cleaning and only superficial room cleaning ie our toilet and sink were dirty on arrival

The location at a very nice beach and the little cabin was very nice! The toilets are clean and i liked the hammocks!:) the manager gave me an upgrade to seeview which was really nice:)

My cabin was right next to the restaurant and sometimes they put loud music on in the evening and that was terrible. It felt like i was in the middle of it. Also people sitting there chatting loud is very annoying when your cabin is right next to it. Also their lights shine very bright into the cabin right next to the restaurant. I put extra towel and blankets to cover vecause the curtains don’t help.

Nice place, right on the beach, brilliant staff. Food was delicious, cooked on the spot. The huts are ok, facilities minimal but very clean. Ideal place to enjoy a piece of paradise. They put you on a boat to and from the island when you check in and out and that is free. All others you have to pay. For the car is 500 if you share it with someone or 1500 to be taken somewhere on your own.

It can get a bit noisy sometimes but that is more up to the guests.

Last year i thought it couldn't be better but they upgraded the bungalows, so its even better now. Still my perfect island in the Philippines. The bungalows are the best and the staff is great. Andy is still the heart of the place for me. He was the 1 thing missing when we went to spent 1 day at bice hostel.

Someone wrote that the staff is great but the owner is a scammer. I don't think that's correct. The staff is the best!

Island was great, really pretty place to snorkeling if you smart enough to go around the island and not on the sink boat in front of the camp, but unfortunately that’s the only good thing.

All you can read about the transfer and the boat price on their page is a lie, you have to come to the pier wich is one hour from el nido by your own. They only gave a you a private car for 1500 to do el nido to the pier wich is crazy price for 1h ride plus don’t come late after 2pm for check in or the boat will cost you 1200 for 15min ride. Food is not good, portion is really small for a 480 meal, price is again really high for what we have. Staff not really friendly, some of them put me really uncomfortable by what they said. If you come from puerto it’s a waist, if you already in el nido why not.

Very quiet and chilled out. Staff were extremely friendly, food was awesome. Huge servings, well priced. Great place to unwind and chill out. Stayed for 3 nights. Loved it.

The location . The island experience . The back to basics . The relaxation . Lovely laid back staff - thank you . X

Tiny tiny huts . Trickle of shower water . Food not the best

The beach is amazing and it has a 10 points location. The staff made me trip more comfortable, they are really nice people, all of them, and specially Andy who helps you in everything you need. Everything I asked for help, they helped me. Friendly and nice people!! I loved the food. People complaining about the food are idiots, you are in an island, of course you are not going to have thousands options. But the few you have, they are delicious. Shared bathrooms were clean every time I used them. There are people cleaning the place frequently. Don’t expect hotel accommodation, this is a CAMP! I didn’t hear loud noise after midnight honestly! I feel I got what I paid for, and I have no complaints about that! It is in an island, you should ask how to get there if you don’t know it and the staff will give you some options for all budget. The cheapest one is 1400 both ways from/to El Nido (car + boat). I don’t think prices there were high, you have to remember this is an island, therefore, getting food and drinks there is more expensive. You can’t expect to pay a beer and coke the same price you pay them in El Nido downtown, however, the price is the same, so stop complaining about that. I feel some complains are just unfair and I felt the need to provide context because the experience you get is amazing and the prices are reasonable.

It’s difficult for me to rate Bice, I have mixed feelings to be honest and I will explain them here. I’m giving 8 out of them for some reasons but I want to say that during my stay I didn’t see other people having the same problems. The worst for me was being bitten by unknown insects both nights. I don’t know if these were sand flea, ants, or bed bugs but I woke up next morning with SEVERAL bites in my head, face, arms, back, legs. This ruined my mood for my second day because my body was all itchy. And then, this happened again in the second night. I saw in the reviews that I’m not the first and I’m not the only one, so I think the owner should have done something or should provide clients with information or something like repellent to prevent/avoid this. FYI: I used citronella and mosquito repellent but it didn’t work! This was even worse because both nights the light went off. I was never informed about that before booking or while I was at the camp. I just realized this was a “regular” thing after reading the reviews today. Guys, I had to sleep almost without clothes because the place was hot and the fan didn’t work (you have been saying you will extend fan’s battery since 2023, but I had two nights without fan and no light, so clearly no improvements in years). I acknowledge that electricity is an issue in Palawan. Of course this also aggravated my skin problem with the bites. After reading reviews I see you have done improvements and I congratulate you for that (huts and services are better). I hope you either inform better about the electricity problem beforehand. I don’t understand why some clients have fan all night and others don’t. If that depends on the room, I would have paid more to have that kind of comfort to be honest. My fan didn’t work all night when the light was off. Last point, please create a non-smoking area and prohibit smoking in room areas.

close to the front beach, huts were nice its cool at night time with fan.

it needs more sitting like chairs and benches, the food is quiet pricey ranging 300 pesos to 500 pesos per dish, and its a small portion, where we could get a nice buffet in a nice resort in nacpan beach for almost the same price and its a buffet. if you’re in a budget you can bring like cup noodles etc.

Probably most basic accommodation during our Philippine trip, but we loved this place the most. Beautiful. You can hike around island, rent a kayak or go snorkeling. Beautiful place

Everything was great. We didn't mind the cold water in the shower that some other people complained in reviews

Staff is great :) Owner is a Scammer !

Beaches full of sandflies Dirty water from the camp going out in the Sea right in front of the beach. Owner is a Scammer ! Equipment is old ! They don't tell you in advance that YOU HAVE TO PAY for the boat transfer to the island site, and you have no other choice than to take the camp site boat 200pesos one way !!

We loved our stay here! The most beautiful island with the loveliest staff who really make your stay. The food at bice camp was amazing. We can particularly recommend the garlic shrimp and spring rolls. Everywhere was clean and the camp was well maintained. A special mention to Andy who was so accommodating and friendly. Would recommend this place to anyone :)

Nothing :)

- Amazing location!! Best beach spot on the island with turquoise water, white sand, and beautiful shipwreck with lots of corals and cute fish! The water was very clamn, warm, and clear. They’re located in a bay, so no big waves. My kind of beach :) - Super cute small bamboo house we stayed. Very comfortable bed, clean, and loved how it’s designed and romantic. We had the house with private bathroom and outdoor shower. - The beach was right in front our house & the whole property!!! This was a vibe!! Also feels private! - No mosquitos and crazy insects at our house and overall camp location, which was really comfortable for me! They had staff who cleaned the camp area everyday. We were there last week of January. - Super amazing food!!! AllMy favorites were the fish fillet meals! Their meals where the best ones we had in the entire Philippine trip. SO GOOD!!!! - Amazing staff!!! Loved the staff- they were so friendly, welcoming, always smiling, and willing to help us and other customers and made us feel home. Thank you everyone for your kidness and honestly. Love, Maesa & Chrissy San Francisco, California

Loved everything :)

Location. Our camp had the best beach, just few metres from boatwrack. I love snorkeling and walking around the island 🩵

Should be more options of food, drinks and alcohol cocktails or mocktails 🍹

If you want a place so quiet and peaceful, on the beach, that's it, don't look around. Not only land side, also under water is amazing just for snorkeling. You will wake up with amazing bird singing, you will see a blue sea just in front of your room. Order your breakfast and than awake in the sea, read your book, drink whatever you prefer and sunset drink. At night time if it is not cloudy you will amaze to see that much stars. Bed is comfortable and large enough for two. We choose the room with WC in, was so nice idea. If you want just next to camp there is a couple who make coctails, so nice place. His name is Mike, he is also making some jewellery from the sea with you, if you want.

There is one things they have to find a solution very quickly. Not the first night but second night, we don't know what bite us several times, so itchy, not mosquito but something else in the bed under the net. Second thing is if you are a coffee lover, sorry for you because only granul coffee they have. Bring it with you, which we did, or on the other side of the island 10 minutes to walk, they have real coffee.

It was an absolute dream. Everything about this place is magical. It’s cheap, people are friendly, staff is amazing, the accommodation is also extremely good for the price you pay and anybody on the island even the most expensive other accommodation come to the beach front of Bice because it’s just the best beach. Highly recommend and so gutted I had not booked a longer stay.

Nothing.

La ubicación, aunque la isla es muy pequeña

The rating is because I think they should manage transfers and payments better. I went with two friends to Darocotan (I stayed two nights and they returned the same day) the thing is that since they don't write down the payments they don't give receipts from the boat, then you don't know if something has been paid or not. My friends paid for their round trip by boat and a one-way trip of mine (1000 pesos in total). The thing is that when I checked out they told me that it hadn't been paid and I had to pay for it. I said they would check it well, and the truth is that they weren't at all clear about it. In the end I had to pay again for my one-way trip by boat (200 pesos) when my friends had already paid for it.

Location in the best beach. Friendly staff, especially Andy who is very nice and supportive. Thank you Andy for everything! Tom, the owner, is a professional and pragmatic person, he provided full info, smoothly organized our pick up from Bedeladan and always replied immediately to us. Thank you Tom!

Amazing location..if you want to relax from busy days this is place to do so 😊Very friendly staff and great food

Nothing

If you want to experience something special, feel like Robinson on a desert island and experience something you will never forget. Here you can enjoy the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets all in one place. The beach is beatufil, the staff very helpful and friendly. It is definitely worth traveling all the way to the north of Palawan.

That we didn't organize our program better and couldn't stay longer :-D.

Boat informtion and costs are not clean Before booking. Boat really expensive >2pm. Staff was not nice with communication About it Standard check-in time with P200/person boat transfer fare to the island is within 12pm to 2pm. Any boat transfers not within standard check-in hours will cost P1200/boat trip and allowed until 5pm only. Check in time is until 5pm only. Any boat trip is not allowed after 5pm, except for an emergency.

This is an awesome experience. Do bare in mind this is a remote island and you are exposed to a real experience of remoteness. The beaches around the island are incredible and the snorkeling is good. The food at the accommodation was great and the staff were very pleasant and attentive. It's great value for money, but be aware that this is very basic and it's all about the experience. We loved it.

The beds weren't comfy and it gets very warm. Shower pressure is low and cold showers only. If you're looking for a resort / hotel feel then i would not recommend, this is a desert island experience.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice beach. Value for money. I liked the place, but some things can improve

It rained into our house. There was a three going trough the roof and it wasn't secured for rain. I liked the place but some thing can be improved, such as fixing the roofing over the bar area. The other 3 camps on this island had much better social area. Food wasn't impressive. Small portions to a relative high price

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Bice Camp. Darocotan is a very small island, and after doing almost a complete tour of the island, we came to the conclusion that the beach at Bice Camp is the best one: crystal clear water, a golden sandy beach, very few rocks and algae in the water which give it a magical look. The staff were exceptionally nice. Especially Andy, Paul and the owner Tom and his wife made us feel like we were at home. There is a japanese warship shipwreck right off the coast, which makes for a fun snorkeling activity. It’s also possible to rent a kayak or even go on a boat trip if you’re lucky. We got invited to join the owner on such a private boat tour and in the evening we joined them when they were having a little party. Their hospitality turned this good experience into an unforgettable one! Transportation: the camp arranges a taxi service that comes pick you up at your hotel or airport in El Nido and brings you to the embarkation point. There, a boat brings you straight to the camp. They are very flexible too if you arrive or need to leave at a certain time. We took a hut with a shower: that was super convenient and the outside shower was truly refreshing. The food was very good, we especially loved the fish steak and the pasta carbonara. When you’re lying on the beach, with the dreamy view and no one around you, you really forget all the stress from back home. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.

The beds were okay. Due to the heat, it was difficult to get a good night’s rest. We also recommend to use insect/ant spray. Even though there’s a net around the bed, it didn’t prevent us from being stung a great amount of times by insects during our sleep.

Incredible place to experience island life in peace away from bustle and noise. This place actually looks even better than in photos! The food was really good and the portions were big. The huts were clean and comfy. I am terrified of spiders but I felt safe in the mosquito net and we didn’t have any encounters! The staff are really nice and helpful. The location is to die for right on the beautiful white sand beach. This is a basic stay for the experience of being on Isla Darocuton and so don’t expect luxury but it is very comfy and as described. Make sure to walk to the left and right of nice camp so you can see the full length of the lovely beach.

More hammocks and benches would be good. Also some Sun loungers as the hammocks are a little uncomfortable after a while. Some cushions for the benches as these were not comfy to sit on. Snorkel rental is quite pricey - maybe it could be included free for guests?

Styaing in Bice was perfect. Its right by this stunning beach where you can snorkel and swim The staff are very welcoming and friendly The food is great and well priced too. I had breakfast which was included, lunch and dinner The room was great, comfortable and cozy. I had my own shower which was great, its simple but it works The common toilet was well kept

Nothing One thing to bear in mind is that its more of a couples spot to stay, so not necessarily the most social environment (not an issue, just depends on the vibe you want)

I love the location and the island vibes.

The length of the bed is a bit small for western
