We stayed in the Junior Suite, which is the entry-level room choice. I am 100% satisfied with the room appointments, furniture quality, bed comfort, bathroom functionality, and aesthetics. The view is fantastic from the balcony, and the air conditioning is great. Everything related to the room works properly and fits the decor. The room is very spacious with high ceilings and a nice ceiling fan. The staff is 100% fantastic and always friendly and outgoing. This is partly a Philippines thing, this is a country of friendly and happy people, but the staff here is even very friendly to each other, waving to peers when the opportunity presents itself. The food is generally fantastic, and there are multiple restaurants inside the resort. The BAD: 1\. The internet is not good. Bandwidth is not adequate for volume of users. On the weekends it slows to almost a stop. 2\. On our stay of 5 nights, 2 of the nights the bar was closed for private events. I feel I paid for use of the entire facility, and they denied access to a portion of it without my knowledge or agreement ![Junior Suite Bed and couch, bathroom is behind tall windows](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/abe527f6-966b-48ef-b61f-dd9cf3bef9e2-1768954223469.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A large patio and great view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a799bc20-92f9-4f33-a98c-a070f75cb2d1-1768954228813.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The shower is fantastic, great water pressure and flow.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4834a0eb-3aa0-42a7-a283-2aef9cba299b-1768954233929.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Great sink and good sundries](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b1499a10-a648-4aef-81d8-df617687b549-1768954238294.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Troy Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rocky 17 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a place that made me feel like I was in another country even though I am only within a few minutes boat ride away from the busy noisy city. My family had a great time and its a place with good food. Great place for meetings and awesome place to relax. Staff was superb, very courteous, and area was super clean. Looking forward to book another stay for next year's vacation. ##### Rocky Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen 3 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was amazing.

The place is well kept and the staff greet you with a genuine smile wherever you go. The place is great for young families like us. I hope the management will be the same the next time we visit! Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a relaxing holiday! ##### Elthea Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an amazing stay and the staff are wonderful. The facilities were topnotch. One room for improvement is the bar.Not many selection of wines and the drinks were a little to come even while we were already sitting at the bar. But otherwise, it was wonderful experience and we will come back soon. ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Discovery Samal is as close to being on Fantasy Island. Not even the Ritz Carlton can't match the stunning views from the boat ride to the island. The white sand beach cabanas and infinity pool are world-class. My wife and I are already planning a summer trip for 2025\. What more can I say? Truly a fabulous experience to remember. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels near Ridge Walk Mam Tor to Losehill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ridge-Walk-Mam-Tor-To-Losehill-Hotels.0-l553248621532492712-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels with Parking in Manchester City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-City-Centre-Manchester-Hotels-Hotel-With-Free-Parking.0-n6192111-0-thotelwithfreeparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [WOM Beach Pod Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tel-Aviv-Hotels-WOM-BEACH-By-Brown-Hotels.h84104178.Hotel-Information) > - [Cabin Rentals Grenoble](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grenoble-Cabins.d1348-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels in Bramford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bramford-Hotels.d3000713421.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Veranda Palms Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Golden-Palms-Resort.h19124742.Hotel-Information) > - [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Orkney Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Orkney-Islands-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6051152-tPetFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > - [Flights from Spata-Artemida (ATH) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ath/fra/athens-to-frankfurt) > - [Flights from Norden (NOE) to Juist (JUI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/noe/jui/norden-to-juist) > - [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/dfw/dublin-to-dallas) > - [Flights from Harare (HRE) to Lusaka (LUN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hre/lun/harare-to-lusaka) > - [Jet2 Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Elche (ALC) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-newcastle-intl-to-alicante-intl/ls/ncl/alc) > - [Flights from Boston, MA (BOS-Logan Intl.) to New York, NY (NYC-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bos/nyc/boston-to-new-york) > - [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Le Touquet-Paris-Plage (LTQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/ltq/southampton-to-le-touquet-paris-plage) ### Activities > - [Things to do in Altdorf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Altdorf.d6034347.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > - [Ko Mak Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ko-Mak.d6144990.Holidays-City-Breaks) > - [Ferrari World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ferrari-World-Yas-Island.d6165443.Attraction) > - [Dreamland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dreamland-Margate.d553248634855571410.Attraction) > - [York Grand Opera House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Grand-Opera-House-City-Centre.d6079273.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > - [Visit Urmston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Urmston.dx6004297) ---
