Philippines is composed of 3 major islands namely Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, commonly known as well as “LuzViMinda”.
The picture below is the Pearl Farm Beach Resort located in Brgy, Babak - Samal - Kaputian Rd, Babak, Island Garden City of Samal, 8119 Davao del Norte - MINDANAO.
I went there not for leisure, but for work and assisted Travel and Tour Operators from different countries.
Fortunately, the people in this group was easy to talk to as they also speak in English and there is not much of communication barrier.
The place was superb and recommended for a vacation with your family, loved ones and friends who just want to reconnect with nature. Staffs and service were very good as well.
How to go there:
- Per the resort’s website information, if you will be coming from airport or other places in Davao, you are advise to get in Pearl Farm Marina in Lanang Davao Beach Club where in you will be boarding a boat going to Samal Island. Boat transfer is around 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the sea condition.
Regular boat transfers:
Davao Marina to Resort – 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM
Resort to Davao Marina – 8:30 AM and 1:00 PM
“Special boat transfers can be arranged with applicable charges. Guests are highly encouraged to reserve seats on their preferred boat trip and are advised to be at the Pearl Farm Marina 30 minutes before the boat’s departure to Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Davao” - per the hotel’s website info
My Experience:
The resort and its staff were definitely one of the things you need to come back on this paradise.
Since I didn’t really come for leisure when I went here last October 2019, I must say that I am really in awe on this place.
Here is my calligraphy for the place,
After the late lunch on the first day, the group went for a tour, Giant Clam Tour wherein they experienced the magnificent aesthetic and different sizes of the coral underneath the deep blue sea. by snorkeling.
(Please be advised that applicable tour rates applies per person depending on what kind of tour you specified, luckily the resort offers tour and water activities).
The Giant Clam location is around 10-15 minutes away from the beach resort.
During the dinner, the resort organized a Luau Set-up and an entertainment which really amazes the guests.
(Please be advised that the buffet dinner setup and entertainment were at additional cost and special arrangement made for the group).
The dinner was held in Malipano Island, a 3-minute boat ride from the main resort. The Malipano Island is the location for the expensive villas that are part of the resort.
