Spent one night in a Samal unit on the water. The food was good, service was great. The room was clean and nice. The prices are what you would expect to pay in the US not in the Phils but I still enjoyed the stay.

A cut above the rest for accommodation and scenery. But you have to pay! Stunning atmosphere and scenery on a tropical island. The Mandaya house we stayed in was very luxurious open plan and modern, Something not for couples who are getting to know each other since the toilet is also quite open. Situated next to the pool and center... More

It's the second most expensive resort in Davao that my wife and I are aware of. Obviously, the expectations were very high. The boat getting to the resort is spacious and leaves on time. Plus the boat crew is very polite and helpful. It was a great start for the trip. Once there, the view was as expected and the... More

Been staying on Samal House on 22 May for 2 nights, just found that the food and everything is over price and over rated. Due to the renovation, there's only 1 pool to swim but it's so milky.

If you are sharing with a friend and like some privacy when using the bathroom, then don't stay in Mandaya villas - there are no doors. There is just one bathroom rail and no hooks to hang anything. Bring your own toiletries, the soaps and shampoo provided are the cheapest brands available. The spa is very overpriced and the therapists... More

For a hotel/resort who is considered to be the best in the area, such a shame and disappointing experience for my friends. When you pay this much you expect your over all experience to be wonderful and relaxing. Turned out the opposite for them, cellphones were stolen, wallets, even down to the papaya soap. Imagine that! People were inside the... More

I visited the place with a friend from the 29th of april till the 2nd of may.... we booked the mandaya house and the room is nice, the shower doesnt have a door and same with the toilet and it kinda bothered me but its kinda relaxing to look at every morning though. Everything in this hotel is overpriced. their... More

We went there like 5 yrs ago for an overnight experience. The place and location are great except for the food an bev. I was disappointed with our complimentary breakfast . They served us a bread and a 3 kinds of jelly fillings along with the butter and coffee . That's it! The beach is too small for me. I... More

Stayed here last March 2013. Pearl Farm Beach Resort is a luxurious hideaway for those in need of a blissful getaway. It is nestled in the island of Samal and is one of the premier destinations in Davao. We checked in at one of the Samal Houses where you can get a wonderful view of the ocean. They have very... More
