    While my stay was unforgettable, one challenge was the potential for uncomfortable heat at night, despite the presence of fans.

    The opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature made my stay unforgettable. I'm grateful to the friendly staff for their warmth and hospitality, which enhanced the experience even more.

    There wasn't anything we didn't like

    Dryft was a really special experience. Being able to properly switch off and be somewhere so beautiful meant that 4 days felt like 2 weeks. The food was exceptional, the staff were so friendly and helpful, the surroundings are stunning, and it was our favourite part of our trip. We are already planning on returning!

    * Some huts were very far from toilets. * Food is good but very very small portions and small value for the high prices. * Extremely hot at night, we hardly slept even with two fans (some A/C could easily run on generators if the camp decides to upgrade) * pickup/drop-off drivers : worst drivers ive had, they both drive recklessly almost 100 km/h on a 40 km/h road , almost hit two dogs and a motorcycle

    Amazing location and staff. I’ve visited a dozen of similar concept camps around the world and this one is one of my favorites.

    The camp and the island are gorgeous, food and cocktails are delicious and the huts and restaurant structure are something else! I really liked how the menu changes everyday, so you don't know what is going to be served that day. I loved the beach, walking to the other side of the island, snorkeling at the shipwreck, being barefoot all the time. I loved everything! I'm really, really sorry that we stayed only one night.

    A beautiful, peaceful off grid experience ⭐️

    Nothing really! There’s no wifi/phone signal and going to the loo in the middle of the night is a bit rustic, but that’s part of being off the grid and switching off 😊

    The private beach is beautiful with crystal clear water, perfect for a snorkel and so so peaceful. The rooms are also super comfy and clean, and the view of the beach from your bed is amazing. The food is EXCELLENT - honestly made the rest of my trip hard to compare!

    Toilets didn’t always flush but this was due to lack of water on island. It would have been great if they had a couple of small seats on the hive decks to sit outside on.

    All food was excellent. Beach very clean

    Maybe a bit more explanation about how the rooms doors work, I felt fear of breaking them although they were very sturdy

    The location is spectacular, the buildings are so unique, never seen anything like it. The staff are so helpful
