We really weren't expecting much but got more than we expected. The room that we got on the second floor facing the garden was surprisingly very roomy with a comfortably-sized bathroom. The previous guest had just left so the bathroom floor was still wet, but other than that, it was quite clean. It was a Saturday so there were a... More

Camp Holiday, Samal Island This is a resort that caters mostly to the local market and is doing it very well. Its beach is artificial, surrounded by concrete steps and sea walls and located right next to the ferry landing. But the rows of picnic tables and picnic huts near the water are enough proof of its popularity among the... More

Such exceptionally great value for the very little money spent on the crisp, spacious accomdation. The delishous resturant meals reflected the vibrant freshness of the peaceful island resort. The kindest managers flow with a smiling staff from welcoming ladies at the front desk, to the maids and resturant servers were so gorgeous and friendly to us. This is the second... More

I would rather travel further then the ferry dock, especially for nicer beaches, but the place was quite nice and new looking. We really enjoyed our meal although it was about 45 minutes coming to the table and we were starving. It was too bad our dog couldn't come in and sit under our table outside while eating, we were...

Wecame to this place to... More

nice place, affordable, cottages, food, etc, are fine except for SERVICE, we have to wait for almost an hour for our orders from the restaurant to be served, i personally went back 3 times to follow-up since NO TELEPHONE / INTERCOM in the cottages w/c is about 30 meters from the resto, on the 4th time i went back, the...

We stayed at "camp holiday". Located right beside where the ferry arrives. The best hotel I have ever stayed at in the Philippines. The whole family loved it, and all the relatives that travelled with us. Before you go to Samal island: check up what it is you want to see. there's a lot of "[--]" , but also many... More
