Really enjoy my stay here. The pick up and boat transfer service is superb! Everything is great except that the restaurant is a little pricey and the airport pick up did not show up on time.

We recently stayed at Discovery Samal, and overall, it was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.
The resort itself is beautiful—clean, modern, and well-maintained. We really loved our room and the amenities; everything felt comfortable and high-quality. The beach and pool areas are also great for unwinding.
That said, there are a few things to note. It was very hot during the daytime, and even the reception area (with fans only) felt quite warm.
We first went to Malabar Lounge for drinks while waiting, and later tried the billiards to pass the time. We went back to the reception twice to follow up, but the room still wasn’t ready. We understood since check-in is at 3 PM, but we were told they would call once it was ready—and we didn’t receive any call. It might be because the signal is weak in some areas (there’s no signal inside the billiard room).
If we hadn’t gone back to the reception at 3 PM, we honestly wouldn’t know what time we would have been allowed to check in. The check-in process itself also took a bit long, and we were only settled into our room around 3:30 PM.
Also, since it’s a luxury hotel, food and drinks are expectedly on the expensive side.
Despite these, we still had a great stay. The place is perfect for relaxing, and we truly enjoyed the experience overall. We’d still love to come back—maybe next time with family.

Lovely place this is are second time there. This time we book the 1 bedroom villa. Lovely place very spacious with a pool. My only concern was the pool and the tiles surrounding the pool when got wet was very slippery and I myself fell backwards into the pool while standing fine. Not very safe for children. Something to be aware off. I do love my stay there very relaxed atmosphere. It would be nice to get food all day at anytime but breakfast is from 7 till 12 then lunch after that. So if you had early breakfast you would have to wait till after 12 for lunch. I would recommend this place to relax and unwind lovely beach and very helpful staff.
