+The place is beautiful it's a real paradise, quiet peaceful and the nature is stunning. Owner Larry was very helpful with everything I needed and Merly the caretaker cooked delicious meals
−It's little bit hard to get here, Make sure to take early morning flight to Palawan because the road takes 5-8 hours.

“a peaceful paradise with stunning views, pristine waters, spacious rooms, great fresh food.”
+Villa Darroca Beach House is an absolute gem! The view is breathtaking, with serene and pristine waters that create the perfect peaceful and quiet getaway. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, making it ideal for anyone looking to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are super comfortable and spacious, ensuring a restful stay. Everything is well-maintained, and the attention to detail in the accommodations adds to the overall experience. The food is delicious, but it’s best to order in advance since they source fresh ingredients and prepare everything upon request. This ensures a high-quality dining experience, which is worth the wait. One of the highlights of our stay was the host/owner, who was very responsive to inquiries and attentive to our requests and needs. Their hospitality made us feel truly welcome. Overall, Villa Darroca Beach House is a stunning place, perfect for a relaxing retreat. Highly recommended!

“5star rate! 💯”
+I booked this beach house for a friend, and it was fantastic! Even more beautiful in person than in the photos, the rooms were spacious and filled with natural light. We were a big group and booked a total of four rooms. My friend and his group, who love to cook, enjoyed buying fresh fish from local fishermen and organic chicken from nearby farms. Cooking became a joyful experience with the sound of the waves in the background. Larry was such a great host! Even though he wasn't on the property, his detailed house manual guided us perfectly. Plus, we met the sweetest dog on the islands, Rabo. This beach house is truly a hidden gem and a perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

“Great spot to enjoy the beach and kiting!”
+Great location - right on the beach! They had a kitchen to use and it was perfect for cooking meals. Sir Larry helped with options to hire a boat for day trips. He was especially helpful because we booked a different place and didn’t like it and he helped us get tricycle to move and a clean room right away!! You have option of air con or fan; I suggest the bamboo room with patio. Recommend staying here!
−More wind for kiting haha! 😉

“Bon séjour”
+Nous avons passé 5 jours dans cette villa. Le personnel et le dirigeant sont sympathiques, la chambre est agréable assez spacieuse, la literie confortable. La plage est juste magnifique, propre, super pour la baignade malgré le vent. Les vagues se cassent au loin , et ça fait comme un lagon devant avec des couleurs incroyables. Nous avons aimé le concept de la villa où nous pouvions nous préparer nos repas. Nous n’avons fait que nos petits déjeuner. Il suffit de louer un scooter sur place et d’aller faire des courses dans le village voisin. Les autres repas ont été pris sur place. Le choix est restreint mais vraiment de qualité et à un prix très raisonnable. Il y a un restaurant en bord de plage à environ 300m où on mange très bien également. Il faut savoir que ce n’est pas un hôtel , donc le fonctionnement est différent. Pas de ménage dans les chambres, il faut acheter le papier toilette et tout le reste. Il n’y a que le nécessaire pour le premier jour. Nous sommes satisfaits de notre séjour. Pas grand-chose à faire à part plage ou sports aquatiques tel que kit surf ou autres. Il faut compter 6 ou 7 heures de transport pour arriver à Araceli depuis puerto princesa ou el nido, mais
−J’enlève des points sur la note parce que le descriptif de la chambre que j’ai réservée sur booking ne correspond pas à la réalité. Il est dit qu’il il y’a vue sue sur mer dans toutes les chambres, une télé écran plat, une bouilloire électrique, un balcon etc. Il n’en est rien. Nous avions une chambre au fond du couloir sans vue, pas de tv ni bouilloire ni balcon. Ca ne nous a pas vraiment dérangés mais c’est pas bien d’annoncer des équipements qui n’existent pas. D’autres personnes seront moins conciliantes. La salle de bain n’est vraiment pas bien. Douche wc et lavabo dans 3 m2. En guise de lavabo c’est un minuscule lave main avec un robinet qui donne un filet d’eau. on a tout le temps les pieds dans l’eau.
