Please do not go here. The food is overpriced, the service was mediocre, and the facilities are already old. Better stay in discover or in pearl farm. They don’t clean your rooms even if you instructed them to do so.

I love staying at Samal Beach Club. It has a perfect ambiance, a nice beach, a beautiful resort with pleasant and honest staff. They also have delicious food. I just don’t like the air conditioning; it’s very noisy.

First time in Davao and Samal Island.The location is very near the wharf.The staff were friendly and helpful.Woke up very early and they were already cleaning the pool and surrounding areas for the guests.We had a good time in the pool and a little walking in the beach.

The room is next to the swimming pool and the beach. The view from the balcony is beautiful. It is suitable for family trips. The service is also good👍

Club Samal is a small resort with a nice pool, but had a tiny beach. The food is very simple and basic, the bigger hardly counts as a buffet as there were 10 dishes or so in total. Can't complaint given the price but overrated and overhyped based on all the media advertising

Checked in october 13, 2024 around 02.00 Garden by the bay. I expect less people since its sunday and I want peace of mind. Waited for the 02 pm transfer and by surprise there were foreigners too with the 02.00 pm boat transfer. Sadly Filipinos and foreigners are not on the same boat. Filipino guests stay with the BANGKA and foreigners went with the speed boat! Oh, very accommodating, Is it because foreigners pay more? We have the same room by the way 302, 303 and we stay in 301. I have never been humiliated by this kind of services. I have stayed in luxury hotels such as six senses, pullman, le merriedien, marriot and even aman and yet here we are, club samal with plenty of restrictions. Decided to have dinner and guess what, we are not allowed to have dinner by the beach bar since it is only available by the sad empty main restaurant on the second floor. It is available with 15000 php set up on the beach, they allow it for free though for snacks and stuff which I find annoying. You can serve pizza and burger by the beach but cannot serve dinner? Same menu is used by the bar and the main restaurant. Nakaloko? It was not full, and are service personnel only doing this touse one facility since it is not busy? Well nothing I can do since its their rules. Tbh, maximizing more facilities would cater more revenue. PROS Bar personnel where great! Had fun with the cocktails during the afternoon and the services were good. Room, amenities were great, bed comfy, bathroom clean and the room itself is nice. Cannot compare to 5 star resort but not bad for a hotel in samal. Well, the general manager should have their Training manager train their team members more. Sad, the hotel is nice but the servives is not up to par. I do not mind spending money for food and drinks. Guess will try next time once you decide to read this review and improve. REMOVE your double standard services for FOREIGNERS. FILIPINOS can pay too. Remember majority of your guest are local travellers and not FOREIGNERS.

We stopped here for lunch. We were staying at the Chemas, up the beach. Needless to say we were upset that we had not booked at Club Samal. Much newer and nicer. Food tasty and reasonably priced. We ate for 7 people for same price of 4 in Chemas. Better than paradise island as it has lovely pool.

It was my first time to visit Davao and this was the first place I visited with my partner. They have free boat transfer every weekend and Philippine holidays, which we availed since we went their during the end of Ramadan. Staff were friendly and consistently greets us. Facilities were all well-maintaned. Beachfront was small as compared to others, but enough to enjoy the sea. Highly-recommended! Will go back here if given an opportunity.

The initial welcome was very good for a hotel of this kind. The room was okay although a coat of paint would make it more pleasing than scuff marks everywhere. The lighting was stark - recessed bright bulbs do not give the right ambiance when no dimming. There is a lack of reading lamps above the bed (yes people do still read). The aircon unit was very noisy at night - this appears to be dependant on the make. Although we were out for a whole day on our return the room had not been made up and tea/coffee went un- replenished. Given the market this hotel is aiming for this was a huge disappointment. The in house meals weee good but there is a lack of consistency with staff service which could be improved.
