We had an amazing experience at Discovery Samal. The place is absolutely beautiful and relaxing, perfect for a family getaway. The room really amazed us—it was spacious, clean, comfortable, and had a luxurious feel. We also enjoyed the food at Haribar. Everything we ordered was delicious and worth trying! The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we highly recommend Discovery Samal to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing vacation in Davao. We would definitely love to come back! ❤️

Me and my husband's experience at Pearl Farm Beach resort was truly memorable and relaxing. From the moment we arrived, everything was well-organized, especially the transportation setup, which made the trip smooth and stress-free.
One of the highlights of our stay was the peaceful ambience of the resort. It's the erfect place to unwind and escape from the busy routine. The surroundings were clean and well-maintained, with a pristine sea and a beautiful pool that made swimming and relaxing even more enjoyable.
The staff were cheerful and very active in assisting guests, which added to the overall positive experience. Their warm hospitality made us feel welcome throughout our stay.
I also appreciated the thoughtful gesture of providing a free birthday cake, which made the celebration extra special. The food served was delicious, offering a satisfying dining experience every time. Overall, Pearl Farm Beach Resort is a perfect destination. I would definitely love to come back again.

If you want to get away from the hustle of the main town, this quaint hostel is a great find. It features a charmingly rustic, unapologetic vibe and covers all the basic amenities. Just note that if you’re looking for a place to take a quick dip (the beachline is ugly and full of trash) this isn't it, so you might want to look elsewhere. The highlights are definitely the staff as they are incredibly friendly, especially Jayjay. Kudos! thank you for the complementary breakfast.

General info
What to know before visiting Samal Island
Samal Island at a glance
Samal Island is a beach-and-nature destination where tours are the leading activity type, and bookings follow a clear seasonal rhythm. Demand peaks in February and falls to a low in October, with steady-but-variable interest through the rest of the year.
Best time to visit and how prices move
According to Klook booking data, February is the busiest month while October sees the lowest demand. Prices drift through the year: Klook data show the cheapest month typically as August and the priciest as June, with roughly a mid-single-digit to low-double-digit spread between them. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for August through October; for lively peak-season atmosphere, visit in February. Prices and demand mostly move independently here: the busiest month (February) is not the absolute priciest, and the cheapest month aligns with one of the quieter periods.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia tend to book around a week in advance, with bookings commonly made a few days out for last-minute plans and earlier bookings for peak periods. If you want flexibility, many experiences can be secured within a day or two, but for travel in February consider booking sooner — Klook data suggest locking things in about six days ahead on average, and up to around two weeks if you prefer extra certainty.
