Have you ever tried asking a Dabawenyo which beach resorts in Davao he would recommend? If he is like most people who are familiar with Davao, his finger would naturally point to the direction of the neighboring Samal Island. The Island Garden City of Samal boasts of having the best white-sand beach resorts near the Davao City area including the famous Pearl Farm Beach Resort and the local favorite Paradise Island Beach Resort. A little stretch of imagination would lead you to believe that there could be some other unknown beach resorts in that area that are equally good, a lot cheaper and that offer more privacy.
Here is a list of the beach resorts you might want to consider when you go to the Island Garden City of Samal.

You are missing ILIHAN BEACH RESORT of Samal as one of the best beaches you can be proud of. Visit the place and find out yourself. Thanks
Any price range for the room rates of each hotel?
Hi CJ,
Thanks for visiting the DavaoTraveler.com. At the moment, we don’t have the price yet. But, we’ll try to get that one. If you are in a hurry, better if you contact them through the phone numbers.
I just recently visited Ilihan Beach Resort in Babak, Samal and yes, I confirm that it’s one great beach resort.
It’s relatively new that’s why most people–even the residents of Davao–are not aware of it.

It’s good to have this “directory..” I didn’t expect to find one on the internet. We have our best beaches in Samal and it’s really something we should be proud of..Perhaps it would be best if snapshots/pictures would also be posted as well as price ranges of rooms, cottages, entrance fees, etc..or if it’s so hard to get, then contact numbers would be okay..We are having our Christmas Party ’07 at Isla Beach Resort at Caliclic, Babak District, Island Garden City of Samal. Contact Person there is LUCY UY – 0927-504-9059.

Thanks,

Hi Amy,
Yes you can do that. I would recommend that you arrange a small bangka and have them go from one resort to another.
boracay?? they say its DIRTY now.. but still beautiful, THEY say…
boracay is not in davao!!!
nice to see beaches over samal but need to see some features like photographs of the beach, accomodations and other features pa para we have an overview on the place na pwede magandang puntahan..
me and my best friends recently visited HOF GOREI… its very solemn.. very nice beach resort.. and affordable.. i was amaze at the place… try to visit hof gorei
Stayed at hofgorei. The place was well kept and clean. OK for the price. The food though….worse than my cooking. For the price P250-P320 a plate. You would think that it will be as good as a 3*** restaurant. We were very disappointed. You can’t even walk at the beach barefooted. The kids ended up with lots of scratches. Won’t recommend to friends and families. Been there and never will go back again! And one more thing. Bring an earplug when you ride their bangka. We all ended up with a headache.
Hi Karen,,,,interested to see your family owned resort. Can you tell us more about it. What are the amenitiies and how can we contact for reservation.
can somebody help us contact pacific little secret… we tried calling the contact numbers posted above but it seemed that nobody knows about the resort…

thanks…

Hi, planning a beach wedding in Davao – any suggections to which resort. Pearl farm in out of the question as we are having about 300 guest so its going to be really expensive. Dont want to enter married life in debt but also want to make the rest of our big family happy.
it would be good if you have photos for each resort. in that way, we can appreciate it better and it would be easier for us to choose. daghang salamat
Hello,
my friends are planning to visit samal next year and the directory provided here indeed is very helpful. but then it would be much better if the accomodation rates, amenities, photos and other relevant information are also posted. hope it will be soon..thanks and good day..
.’ei,, the contact #s that you’ve posted for kaputian beach park were not accessible, its not yet in service
I agree..I usually spend time to recharge my soul at samal and among the beaches I’ve been too ,(except pearl farm) I found out that ILIJAN Beach resort is one place a traveller should’t miss. Aside from the fact that its affordable, the place is also serene and the scene is picture perferct too. I’m planning to go to Bali bali beach resort too..I hope I can find time and enjoy there also.
i really need Budyong’s contact number…
Hi, I tried calling the telnum for Kaputian Beach park, but it’s not working. Is there any other contact info? preferably mobile num?

Thanks!
is it true that the extreme samal zipline have been removed.. for the meantime that is. would it be up and running before the 25th?

Hi, I am wondering if you could help me. I am wanting to visit davao when staying with my friend in olongapo city. I will be travelling with my friend and her baby. I have been looking at samal but am unsure where is best to stay. I really want to visit maxima aqua fun and maybe some waterfall. I love the beach and pool. I have been looking at Hof Gorei Resort but was unsure if I would be able to get to maxima from here. I have also looked at bluejaz resort and paradise island. I dont want to be somewhere where we are stuck and cant visit places unless spending a fortune but want somewhere nice. Have you any advice? Thanks, Karen

hello,
I would like to bring my 99 year-old grandma and my 3 adolescent nieces to a nice beach in Samal next week. Can anyone recommend me a resort or accomodation where we can cook? Preferably near the beach. We are planning to stay for at least 1 week.
Pls contact me with your reply :09215294114
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi Chloe,
You may want to try the Sonrisa Beach Resort. They allow you to bring and cook your meals. You just have to bring your cooking stuff their. Or alternatively, they can cook for you.
