Hotel berhampiran Kopiat Island, Mabini

Hotel is easy to locate. It is nearby restos and mall. Staffs are very accommodating and respectful. You will be welcome with the sweet smiles of the staff. Rooms and toilets are clean. There is complementary breakfast. There is gym, pool,karaoke, and spa.

I felt like the mattress were cleaned. However towels were smelling very downy which is great 😊 in my opinion. TV wasn’t smart tv and outdated which not really a big deal nonetheless. Just felt like they can do better. Moreover, enhanced the grout on bathroom tiles (look poor finishing)

Our group decided to take the boat service from their wharf as the Samal ferry boat was a 1/2-3 hour wait each way. The hotel is fairly new and looks great with its all-white exterior and interiors. The food wasn't bad at all and the buffet service we had during our meeting and stay was quite good. However, do not stay in rooms 119-122 if you want to get a good night's sleep or if you are planning to sleep in. Their restaurant is above these rooms and despite the rooms being priced at a premium since they open straight to the pool, the noise of tables and chairs being re-arranged to accommodate the diners woke us up at 4 am and by 6 am. The ceiling of the rooms/floor of the restaurant are not noise-proof at all. The tables and chairs being dragged upstairs can be heard downstairs in the rooms and can wake even the heaviest sleeper. Also, the shower area wasn't built right- the water wasn't draining at all and left a pool of water which can be very slippery as it wouldn't dry. We also asked for additional water for the 2nd day and expected at least 2 more bottles of water but sadly, they give you the smallest bottles. And we didn't get any new bottles of water the following day. After asking for more water to replace our 2 small bottles, we were given a jug of water instead which was filtered water so it was okay. The price of the room we stayed in was more expensive than our room at the Shangri-la Hotel where the facilities and rooms were more upscale. It might not be on the beach but you can get a better night's sleep and comes with a free gym, bigger pool plus wet floors (steam sauna), dry sauna plus a jacuzzi and cold pool, all free. Despite our disappointment with being roused from our sleep at the unholy hour of 4am, kudos to Club Samal for their friendly staff and their very clean rooms and environment, as well as their live entertainment and beach-side dining experience at night which made our stay special.

Discovery Samal Resort exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The resort's stunning location, nestled amidst lush greenery and overlooking crystal-clear waters, provided the perfect backdrop for a truly relaxing getaway. The accommodations were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. We particularly enjoyed the variety of activities offered, from snorkeling and kayaking to indulging in rejuvenating spa treatments. The dining options were equally impressive, with a diverse selection of delicious dishes that catered to every palate. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience, always attentive to our needs and eager to assist with any requests. Overall, Discovery Samal Resort is a hidden gem that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat in paradise. Four stars well deserved!

I wanted the whole world to know the real story behind the NEGATIVE 1 ratings. December 2022 we were in that hotel booked for 3 days for 2 rooms. 2 months before ---- I asked the receptionist to give me the biggest most comfortable room and I will pay. I am asking to pay ahead of time for the rooms to be reserved but they said it can be paid during the day of the booked reservation. Comes the day of the reservation.. We travel 21 hours from out of the country just to be with a relatives wedding... Went to the office to pay.. We went to the room.. It SMELLED SEPTIC TANK had been OPENED inside the SMALL DIRTY room. Outside was FULL OF GARBAGE and 4-5 HUGE BLACK BASINs....The RUDE LADY MANAGER went to us in the room and said the rooms are filled as there were a LOT of weddings reservation. Instead of APOLOGISING, she said I AM BEING CHOOSY... She told me that she will fix things up.. She went back to the Office. When she came back, she said SHE CANCELED the reservation and WE ARE FREE TO GO. VERY VERY RUDE, HEARTLESS, UNPROFESSIONAL Human being I have ever encountered. I HAVE 2 KIDS WITH ME and the RAIN WAS POURING... It was already 8 PM and it was very very hard to find a HOTEL.. TAGUM CITY DOESNT HAVE A TAXI... Can anyone imagine how I would find a place to stay with 2 kids with me, very hungry, tired and just want to relax already for the night ? The next day the kids had fever... If I ONLY HAVE too much time in the Philippines I would SUE THAT WOMAN... Is she even a human being.....? ... One day... KARMA COMES to rude people especially when others are helpless to protect themselves...
