The local food and friendly staff, epecially the OJT trainees

This property is par excellence; while accommodation cost is not within reach to an average Filipino worker, the quality of service and resort amenities was worth every penny you spend while staying in this resort on the island of Samal; I booked this resort for an overnight “staycation” with my brother and his partner; it was indescribably amazing spending quality time together to relax and strengthen the bond with family and loved ones; I will be saving again to return to this beautiful paradise!

Top notch experience. Ching, Steph and the rest of the staff were very helpful with our needs all throughout our stay. The resort was well maintained. Gym and spa was great. We dined to all 3 restaurants and enjoyed the different options offered. Highly recommend!

Our recent stay at Discovery Samal Resort fell short of expectations, especially for the premium rates they charge. Check-in Process: The entire check-in experience was disorganized. We had already completed check-in at the Davao waiting area before boarding the catamaran, so having to go through another full check-in upon arrival at the resort felt unnecessary and inconvenient. The process needs better coordination. Dining at Haribar: We had lunch at Haribar, but the food was honestly not tasty at all considering the price. For a resort positioning itself as luxury, the quality and flavor really need improvement. Service & Staff: The staff were polite, but the overall service didn’t match the luxury label. Even though our luggage was pre-tagged prior to boarding, we still had to bring our own bags to the room. This is something the resort team should handle. Privacy Concerns: One major issue is the lack of privacy. Certain areas of the resort—particularly near rooms and shared spaces—feel too exposed, and you don’t get that secluded or exclusive atmosphere expected from a high-end property. It affects the overall experience and sense of relaxation. Amenities: Basic recreational amenities like billiards should be complimentary. Charging extra for small activities doesn’t align with the upscale rates they’re asking. Overall Value: For the price we paid, the experience simply wasn’t worth it. With other luxury resorts in the area offering better food, smoother service, a

everything was great🙌

A wonderful resort and the staff was 2nd to none.

It’s not cheap but you get what you paid for. Very hospital staff though you get looks if you are solo. Not a lot of people last Sept which i love. Free airport pick up and boat transfer. Outside food is not allowed unless you pay for corkage. Dining options are expensive and limited options. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Awesome place! The staff and crew of Discovery Samal were amazing. The food they served delicious.

We stayed for 2 nights, and it was an amazing experience. The staff were respectful, accommodating, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the service exceeded our expectations. We would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.
