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.

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.

The facility is really wonderful. From cleanliness to amenities, is awesome. My son enjoyed the water sports. But weren’t able to do jetskiiing because they were out of gasoline but not a big deal. I would give them more than ten point score especially the staff by the registration desk they went out of their way to help me fix my double booking issue. Thank you very much.

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.

Best stay for anyone visiting from the U.S.
It was my first trip out of the country, and our stay was great. I wished we could’ve stayed another day. Staff was very friendly and attentive at all times. I have never experienced such professionalism and politeness. The staff knows how to treat their guests. The pools, the food, the beach…all 5 stars! I love this place and we will be back.

The property itself is gorgeous, no doubt about it. The main issue is there seems to be some confusion among the security guards that all guests are to be searched and are being suspected of stealing or breaking their rule of no outside food or drink allowed. They are insisting on looking inside private purses/bags and when unable to do so, they would radio their colleague and ask that they search the guests as they’re entering their hotel rooms. This is beyond offensive as the clientele clearly can easily afford such a property to vacation in. The guard went as far as quizzing a private driver that dropped the guests at the hotel where the guests went and what were purchased. If you want to leave the property to explore the surrounding island, you are asked to obtain a permission pass to leave the premises. Feels like jail time if you ask me. The spa services are not up to par with what a 5-star hotel resort should have offered. They did not obtain info from an intake form prior to services, made the clients wait despite not being busy and were completely disorganized and unprepared to the point of asking the guest to grab her own towel from the cabinet after showering post body scrub before the massage. No slippers were given and while the client was in the process of showering, a shower gel was handed inside the shower stall for use as they were missing any source of soap or gel for bathing and showering. The massage skills shld also be improved.
