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.

Samal Island at a glance
Quick facts about Samal Island
General info
What to know before visiting Samal Island
Quick snapshot of Samal Island and what visitors book
Samal Island draws most bookings for tours and water-based experiences, with demand rising and falling through the year. Klook data shows a clear seasonal rhythm: demand peaks in May and is much lower around October.
Best months to visit for crowds and prices
May is the busiest month according to Klook booking data, while October sees the weakest demand. Prices move unevenly across the year: they dip around August and then rise again toward early summer, so cheaper options typically appear in August and the priciest month in the following June. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for August or other shoulder months; visit in May for the liveliest, peak-season atmosphere. Note that demand and prices do not always move together here—August has some of the lowest prices even though it isn’t the absolute quietest month by bookings.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most visitors from the United States book activities a few days in advance, with a typical lead time of about six days and many last-minute bookings possible two days out. If your trip falls in May, consider planning and reserving popular tours earlier; for travel in quieter months you can be more flexible and still find good options on Klook.
