The beachfront location is stunning.

The numerous stairs made moving around a challenge, particularly for my elderly family members. The lack of signage regarding these steep slopes was misleading. I had expected a more accessible environment. Additionally, the dining prices were steep and the quality didn't always match the cost, leading to disappointment during our stay.

We had a great time during our 3-night stay in the Hillside Round Huts. The owner personally checked on us, and the food served by the chef was fresh and tasty. The jungle gardens were beautiful The service was great 🌿

The beach setting at Hof Gorei is stunning, perfect for relaxation. However, the steep stairs can be challenging for some guests.

Tried it so you don’t have to!

The calm beach setting is truly stunning , with delicious food and exceptional butler service, which makes for a delightful experience.

Prepare for a rough and lengthy journey , with inconvenient stairs that may become a hassle for those with mobility issues.

amazing beach access and nearby attractions make for a great stay

during my time there, I enjoyed the stunning views of the Davao Gulf from my round hut. The well-maintained pool was perfect for unwinding in between my city strolls. being just a short distance from Malipano Private Beach and the beautiful Sabang Cliffs made exploring so accessible and enjoyable.

The location is idyllic, surrounded by lush gardens and stunning views. The beach area is calm, perfect for family bonding and exploring the gentle waves. The service here is relaxed yet attentive, making it easy to enjoy our stay.

Navigating the numerous stairs around the resort can be a bit challenging for families with young kids.

Just a balanced option for a whistle-stop in Samal with incredible value for money. The food was good, but the serving sizes didn’t match the prices. Bring water shoes for the beach, it's a bit slippery.

Had an awesome group vacation here! The activities like trekking and exploring waterfalls added so much fun. The beach is a perfect spot for relaxation and bonding, making our stay truly memorable. Plus, the staff were friendly and accommodating, enhancing our experience. Don't miss the stunning landscapes during your visit.

On the other hand, the check-in process was frustrating.

The jungle-like gardens provided a serene backdrop, while the friendly staff consistently brightened the experience. The European food was exceptional, showcasing fresh ingredients and delightful flavors. However, the remote location posed challenges with access, and the old pathways felt unsafe at times. Additionally, the room facilities showed signs of wear, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant stay.

Staying at this resort was a memorable experience for my family, including my granddaughter. The peaceful beach was perfect for bonding moments, and we loved exploring the surrounding forests during our day tours. The activities offered made it a delightful getaway.

My children wished for better accessibility around the resort.

breathtaking views from the hillside bungalows

isolation, quality dining

steep steps

Loved the outdoor pool and the relaxing beach access. food was good but pricey.

We really enjoyed our stay and loved the personal butler service that made everything super easy for us. The massage and pool area were perfect spots to unwind after a day of exploring. The only downside was the stairs being a bit challenging, but it didn’t ruin our time at all! 🌴
