    The customer service is excellent, the lobby’s high ceilings are breathtaking, and honestly, everything is AMAZING! One thing I love is that guests are allowed to explore the resort before check-in. My tip? Make sure to take the first boat trip at 11 AM so you can enjoy the resort early while waiting for your room. And to tell you the truth, we hadn’t even checked into our room yet, but we were already planning our next visit! đŸ˜‚â€ïž That’s how beautiful Discovery Samal is. From the stunning surroundings to the exceptional service, everything made our experience memorable. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back even before your vacation has officially begun! Definitely a resort worth visiting! đŸŒŠâ˜€ïžđŸ€

    We booked 2 rooms and we are a family of 7 (including 1 child and 1 one-yr old). We are attending a wedding and at the same time celebrating my mom’s birthday. We are ready to spend money in the resort but after checking online for the restaurant options, they only have a few. Since we have picky eaters in the family, including our baby and 1 kid, we packed biscuits and cup noodles and 2 packs of old town coffee supposedly as pasalubong to my cousin also attending the wedding. The food were placed in a paper bag which was accidentally left at home. We had to call for Grab Express to have it sent to the resort. We had to get into the boat so I requested for the staff to just send the items to our room. Unfortunately, we received a call that the food items were not allowed due to food safety policy. Obviously, I had to explain the background and these were not cooked/raw food, and insisted. After a few back and forth, the call got escalated to the manager (Bobby) and provided the same explanation. I still insisted since the cup noodles were meant as back up in case the baby would not eat that 1 soup dish closest to what can be eaten by our baby in the restaurant. It took around 4 calls before we got the permission and we were told that the food would be sent to our room but the coffee items would only be claimed upon checkout. Four calls, before a decision was made and it included 1 frontdesk call with Ray who put the phone down on me. It was already 6pm but our food was not sent to the room yet. We headed down to the restaurant to eat and as anticipated, our 1 y.o did not like the binakol na manok and ended up with no dinner. We still tried to enjoy and paid 11k plus for our dinner. We headed back to the room and our cup noodles and biscuits were there. If we were able to carry that 1 cup noodles with us, we could have requested for hot water for our 1 y.o to at least have something to eat. I am not a fan of giving a long review but to me, this was unacceptable. If you would be very strict with your food policy, make sure you have plenty of food options! There needs to be flexibility especially for cases like ours! Your rooms were not even well-maintained for a resort claiming to be 5-star. Anyway, I will spread the word about my experience and will tell everyone to manage expectations. Our stay was supposedly for relaxation but having our patience tested over a few cup of noodles for our kids gave it all away. Never again!
