Discovery Samal

Yes, except the egg station at the dining room.

Rooms are in great condition. Very spacious and very high ceilings. The resort is very beautiful. Food is average for the price. The final day experience was not good at all. There seems to be so many people manning the concierge but no organization. Nobody seems to remember a very important instruction on the boat ride- to give the boat pass to the guard by the dock. This guard also failed to tell us about the boat pass. They transported us to the dock but not tell us that the boat ride was first come first served. When the boat arrived, it was logical for us to assume we could board the boat, the guard yelled at us and said it is first come first served!! They expected us to sit in there for another 2 hours to wait for the next boat. For a resort that is so expensive, why is the boat ride so disorganized? This is something that really needs improvement as it is the final experience.

The great: The facilities here are second-to-none, whether in the Philippines or almost anywhere around the world. Beautiful architecture, well maintained, clean, and well appointed. The pier is beautiful, and they have fast, high-quality, air-conditioned catamarans to transfer guests to and from Davao. We stayed in the Junior Suite, which is the entry-level room choice. I am 100% satisfied with the room appointments, furniture quality, bed comfort, bathroom functionality, and aesthetics. The view is fantastic from the balcony, and the air conditioning is great. Everything related to the room works properly and fits the decor. The room is very spacious with high ceilings and a nice ceiling fan. The staff is 100% fantastic and always friendly and outgoing. This is partly a Philippines thing, this is a country of friendly and happy people, but the staff here is even very friendly to each other, waving to peers when the opportunity presents itself. The food is generally fantastic, and there are multiple restaurants inside the resort. The BAD: 1. The internet is not good. Bandwidth is not adequate for volume of users. On the weekends it slows to almost a stop. 2. On our stay of 5 nights, 2 of the nights the bar was closed for private events. I feel I paid for use of the entire facility, and they denied access to a portion of it without my knowledge or agreement

Property is nice but not a lot of dining options. They should add a cafe with sandwiches and salad options if you want a lighter meal. My son broke a drinking glass inside the room and got charged $30 for it, outrageously expensive and I felt taken advantage of and robbed!

Clean, great staff, good food.
