Discovery Samal

I was on my own to visit friends in Samal not far away. Coming from abroad the private boat transfer from Davao airport to the hotel was a true convenience. Although I did not use many facilities myself this is still a great hotel for a family holiday - three swimming pools, a beautiful beach and activities galore. I did very much appreciate the personal attention and politeness of the staff - reception, waitress, bartenders and security who were always present and helpful. Access to the hotel doctor was also convenient.

The restaurant offering was limited, even more so when the better restaurant was closed for a wedding.

Everything!

Nothing! Everything is amazing! From the transport, to the room, staffs,facilities!

Water dispensers located everywhere! A/C in the public toilets. Happy hour! For an island resort, the gym is well-equipped. Water temperature in the pools are just right. Plenty of cabanas and couches to lounge in. Fantastic views from both pools. Excellent customer service! Superb rooms and amenities. Plenty of water and land activities in the resort itself, just have to pay for it.

Chef manning the omelette station was unapproachable and unwelcoming, too much so we just decided not to get one on the second day

The pool and beach view once you can get there.

The breakfast buffet was standard, the room lack supplies such as coffee milk and sugar. If you request more after 2 capsule there will be additional charge. The place is too big you need a transport ,you cannot walk around , If you walk you will see only buildings. The area is too enclosed it is almost claustrophobic. not easy to navigate the area.
