The Driftwood Cottage at Dulangan Puerto Galera, Philippines

Really impressed with Driftwood. The location is great, it’s quiet, right on the beach where you can snorkel. The pool is fab.

The studio room I had was good. At this price point, I was pretty impressed.

The restaurant (Tiki) is up there with the best in Philippines. Mega impressed with the Filipino food.

Rooms: 5 stars: Very clean, nice design, comparable to high class hotels!

Ambience: 5 stars: Peaceful and quiet. Good place to relax and de-stress.

Food: 5 stars: Top-notch! Order the pizza! We tried the Driftwood pizza and the vegetarian pizza. They sure know how to make pizzas!

Overall: 5 stars! We are very satisfied and happy with our stay. The staff are always smiling and ready to help. We fell asleep and woke up to the relaxing sound of the waves along the shore in front of our private veranda. Super worth our money! We will definitely comeback! ❤

Update - we had a small issue today and once management heard they went above and beyond. The people there are excellent.

December'21- There's nothing but good things to say about Driftwood Cottage. The view, the facility, the grounds the staff and the food are all excellent. They serve buko with metal straws that my wife loves for digging out the coconut. She loves the Filipino food.

Hands down it has the best pizza I've had in the Philippines.

We live nearby and go frequently.

I love this place it has now become my Puerto Galera home.
Is very relaxing nothing but sound of the waves staff are super friendly and helpful. They can arrange everything from island hopping BBQ feasts to diving arrangements and transportations. Place is always spotless.Access to unlimited drinking water I and your own kitchen is Very convenient specially for much longer stay the location is perfect if you don't want to be in the very crowded loud places. The new pool extension is very refreshing after a long day's dive or sunbathing puerto galera such an amazing place to discover the underwater world whether your snorkeling diving or just kayaking or swimming you will truly enjoy the many things the island has to offer. The Driftwood Cottage is my happy place close enough to everything yet far enough to relax recharge and just chill.

Calm, cozy ambiance and serene naturesque view plus Owen, Angel and Janjan (The Awesome folks of this resort), surely you will enjoy your day at this place. Highly recommending this specially for those who are looking to escape the noise of the city. You'll definitely feel relax after you've checked out. Overall experience with DRIFTWOOD COTTAGE is almost PERFECT. We will definitely recommend and go back to this place. 🤩🤩🤩

One of my go to places in Puerto Galera, privacy and your own access to the beach. What more could you ask for 🙂

Everytime I come here, the hosts make my stay more and more comfortable! Driftwood cottage was already a very peaceful and romantic place to stay before, but now with the swimming pool and restau/bar, it makes it so hard to leave!
The Studio is the best I've stayed in the Philippines, about 50+ sqm, a long room including a very operational kitchen, gas stove, rice cooker, all utensils to cook from breakfast on your own terrace to grill barbecue in the garden. All this overlooking the sea right at your feet. Have the chance to be part of the ocean as you hear the waves rolling right under your pillow! it's like living on a boat without the risk of being seasick.
Jewel, Angel and Owen will make sure you're never missing anything. From organizing a scooter rental, the best island hopping, and directions for the must seen of the surrendings, they will only help you with the best! Tip: borrow one of their kayak for a romantic sunrise paddle in the middle of the glassy Dulangan bay! memories for a lifetime ;)
And oh! they serve a unique "Below Zero" branded beer, so refreshing!

Everything about this place is beautiful, including our superhost Jewel... Will definitely comeback! Excited for the opening of their tiki bar and pool in March 2019!

Update: Tiki bar is now up and running! Infinity pool with jacuzzi is also available!

I highly recommend this place, it looks nice in photos and social media but it was more amazing in person!! Every detail in every corner was well thought of. The staff are very courteous too! I also tried their food and it was fantastic, literally no leftover! Their cocktails is a must try, i've never tasted anything like it before!!!

Very good and nice experience. Two thumbs up. Very satisfactory. Beautiful scenery and staff are very accomadating. Recommended this resort.

Very nice staff and owner. Perfect place to relax. Good food and drinks. Well maintained rooms. Nice beach to go snorkling. Second time here. We will be back again.

Lovely quiet family run resort. Amazing view from beautiful infinity pool

Thank you so much Driftwood!!! Kudos to Ms. Jewel, the owner and interior designer of the place. Our room is spacious and very well thought of - from the modern working kitchen, very comfy bed and pillows and of course the restroom! Super clean and beautifully designed making us feel we were staying in a 5 star hotel:) and the best part, the balcony facing the beach while enjoying the sunrise! We can even hear the sound of the waves from our room!

And the people behind Driftwood, you guys are amazing! Special mention to Gerald who makes the best (banana) milkshake! And of course, thanks to Owen whom i was not able to meet in person but still managed to (virtually) help us and made us feel at home.

We really had a great time! Enjoyed swimming in the pool and in the beach as the place is not crowded! We also took advantage of the free use of and went kayaking to our hearts' content!

The Driftwood Cottage at Dulangan is the best beach place i've been to! Absolutely fell in love with the place that we've decided to stay for another night!

Highly recommended for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing weekend away from the crowd! Will definitely visit again.

Our stay at The Driftwood Cottage at Puerto Galera was an excellent break. The sound of the ocean and fresh air were splendid! If your friends, family are looking for relaxing atmosphere and good place I highly recommended The Driftwood Cottage!

The menu offers a great variety of food the staff was very attentive, professional, and friendly.

The only problem is the power outage but it took only 30 sec to restore it.

Overall, it was a good and 5 star is not enough to rate Driftwood Cottage.

A wonderful mini-vacation!

Driftwood cottage gives an excellent vibe if you want to relax and enjoy. Our stay in driftwood was extraordinary. The place is spotless clean. You will not see any liter around even in the beach shore.
The room is also spot on, design wise its very pleasing and accommodating, it will really satisfy your "relaxing feeling".
Food is awesome too, great flavors and they even have a wide variety of liquor. You dont have to go to the market for alcohol, just go to the bar counter, they have great selection!
Personnel are very friendly too. They will really assist you and will tend to your needs.
Overall our stay in driftwood is beyond expectation. Will definitely go back and recommend it to my friends :)

It’s my first time in Puerto Gallera and The Driftwood Cottage really made the overall trip memorable.

The place is clean. The staffs are accomodating and friendly. They also serve delicious foods and refreshing drinks at the bar. Our room is spacious. The free coffee every morning really makes me happy. The infinity pool that overlooks to the sea and make it visually appealing and instagram-worthy is awesome!
The view at the veranda in our room is just WOW!

Aside from the beach, this resort made me wanna go back again in Puerto Gallera.
Experience and prove it yourself.
