    limited food options

    A birthday surprise to remember

    The tranquility of the resort was only matched by the stunning infinity pools. Celebrating a birthday here was extra special, and the cart service was a delight.

    However, we encountered challenges with the limited food options and a misunderstanding regarding amenities for our third guest, which led to some confusion throughout our stay.

    great service

    Families seeking a nice getaway would enjoy this place

    The service at this place was really good, everyone we interacted with was friendly and genuinely cared about making our stay pleasant. One guy, Mark, who worked at the bar, made sure we got everything we needed promptly and with a smile.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but overall it was still acceptable given the experience.

    The elegant design of Discovery Samal is truly breathtaking. The spacious layout and accessibility features made it comfortable for seniors like myself to navigate through the beautifully landscaped areas, enhancing the overall relaxing atmosphere of my stay.

    More clear signage would enhance navigation for seniors.

    Amazing Stay with Friendly Staff

    I had a wonderful experience in my Junior Suite, which was spacious and beautifully designed. The staff were remarkably friendly and made our stay extremely comfortable. The buffet breakfast was impressive, offering a fantastic variety of delicious dishes each morning. While the overall experience was great, better signage around the property would enhance navigation.

    A Relaxing Getaway Despite Minor Hiccups

    We enjoyed a lovely two-night stay in a Junior Suite. The room was spacious with stunning views, perfect for couples. Although transportation was occasionally delayed, the staff remained friendly. Don't miss the beautiful beach during sunset! Pro tip, Allow extra time when heading to the drop-off station.

    delicious breakfast
    spacious room
    slow meal service

    We had an amazing family stay! The buffet breakfast was delicious and offered so many options. The spacious Junior Suite was perfect for my dad in a wheelchair. The only hiccup was that our special meal requests took longer than expected. Would absolutely return for another stay!
