Coral Reef Resort — Attraction in Samal

We went there for our team building and the place isn't too far from the pier. However, the road leading to the resort is very rocky and unsafe. I'm surprised that the one that we were riding on didn't turn on its side. When you arrive, there's a very spacious parking space for your car. There's also a lounge where you can wait. The "receptionist" will scan your qr code upon entering. There's a bar, but it doesn't seem to be open unless you ask the staff. The washroom and toilets are very clean. The cabanas are also clean: white, crisp bed sheets and pillowcases. Since the cabanas are open, you will have to use the net to protect you from the insects when you're asleep. There are no patio tables and chairs like in the photos that they posted. The bon fire is a nice touch, but I wouldn't recommend it hanging out there unless you've put on insect repellent lotions/sprays. There's like a great hall there where you can eat with your group. It has a bar, too where you can order ice, coals, and etc. The beach itself is just like any other beach in Samal: clear water and white sands. There's also a spot where you can sit and watch the sunset as the tide rolls in. There are also hammocks that you use and even swings. This is a great place to unwind and get away from the city, so prepare to have limited cellphone signals when you're there. It was a nice place at best, nothing spectacular but worth the visit if you a place near the pier and won't burn...

The area is great for exclusive events and family reunions although the rooms are not really close for a 100 percent privacy but it has nice bed. Entrance is quite a challenge because the road is not paved and the place needs more lights at night and there are pests like ants that need a bit of control but it's manageable if you can sleep outside. The bar is close maybe because of the pandemic but we make a use of the area. The place is not that big and during the day it is relaxing if you don't like the sun because of large trees and the place is not noisy because the resort prohibits karaoke. Personally I don't like noise. So if you want to come visit to relax, this is a place for you. Just make sure you have a van,...

The care taker is very much accommodating. You can rent the entire place exclusively. They have cooking pots and pans but you will pay for it when you use it. They charge ₱500 per day if you use their stove and cooking pots.

The place is good for relaxation. Cottages are open, mattresses are provided in each sleeping cottage.

2-3 KM from Babak Public Market. You can go to the market and prepare your food in the resort or can dine in the nearby restaurants outside the resort...
