Club Samal Resort

Nice for a daytrip. Boat drives 3-4 times / day and is included from Davao. Food at weekdays is average - 3 different meals to choose from - nothing special.

While waiting for the buffet, the staff are very accomodating and are very approachable. They suggest for things to try out in their menu. Restrooms were clean, except for the shower area, where the water can not be properly drained if the wa…

The surroundings are beautiful, and the resort is PWD-friendly, with accessible pathways and an elevator to boot, making it very convenient for guests with mobility needs. Parking for guests’ cars is ample and conveniently located right beside the hotel, which made everything easy. Ah yes, dont forget the welcome drinks.
