   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.

    Hi,

    We are planning to visit Davao on Feb 2008 and it’s good to see this list of all resorts in Samal. If we are staying 4 nights, can we go resort-hopping like staying in a diff beach resort every night? What are the available mode of transportation to these various resorts?

    Thanks,
    amy

    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.

    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

17. Abi says

    May 19, 2008 at 2:06 am

    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.

    October 22, 2008 at 9:24 am

    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.

    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

    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.

    Make sure you inquire at the phone number provided here.
