so i had so much high expectations for this resort, it's supposed to be one of the most prestigious and exclusive resorts in the philippines. the room we stayed in, the balay house, was quite old, it smelled like an old house. it is in need of an update. on the positive note, the buffet was superb! when we where there the resort was celebrating ...

too much can't afford with my minimum wage
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/06/08
I think I can afford to rent the beach sand for less
I am an american and went there with my filipino gf back in 2006 while staying in Davao and meeting her family. We are actually a young couple unlike many of the " old men with young woman" which are all over.
Very cheap with conversion of amer to peso, rooms where great, food was nice, pool was nice, staff was nice, and the snorkeling was fantastic.
I would def go there again.

*sigh* perfect!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/08/08
I've been there about 2 years ago w/ my family. It was an amazing experience. The best thing I like about it was that its less crowded, great cust service & awesome food! It felt like our private resort, i love it! It's kind of expensive though, good thing it was my generous Aunt paying! :) I intend to save up to go back there probably this year.

Great retreat in Davao
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/19/07
I've been to this place twice before and I loved it. There is a buffet with a decent variety of foods and a good selection of drinks both acholic and non. The trip there is about 15 minutes by boat and most of the time you will fall alseep after 5. There were a few questionable dislikes. The first was when I went scuba diving with a a friend. ...

excellent snorkeling! expensive food...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/19/07
This resort is so exclusive from the rest of Samal Island and has a small, but nice beach near the bar. Pearl Farm Davao is now a protected fish sanctuary that gives it a big fish population. So snorkeling is such a big hit in this resort. There are other activities too like the jetski, ocean kayaks, banana boat, wakeboarding, etc. Too bad they ...

Experience of a lifetime!

BEautiful site, yummy food, great service, well priced-GREAT accomodation and CHILD friendly! Love the buffet, the dining on the ocean shore-lots of activities, THank you soooo much!
This place blew my mind. I stayed in one of the Samal suites - the view from its balcony unbelieveable. The food was beautiful, the staff very friendly and helpful. If you cannot relax and unwind here there is something very wrong with you.
