The Lighter Side of Samal

  -->

Island Garden city of Samal, is one of the many tourist destinations of Davao region that frequent by both local and foreign tourists. Luxurious to chic to isolated to budget friendly resorts. Name it the island has it.  But as a middle class member of the society I can only afford to bring my family into convenient beach resorts. After all, I believe that spending quality time is more priceless than staying overnight alone in an expensive resort. Indeed, Samal island  is one big family wonderland for all walks of life.

10 minutes away north of Samal Barge in Barangay Caliclic is Isla Beach Resort. Upon entering you must pay a reasonable 20PHP and an environmental fee before you enjoy the sun and the shores of the resort. You can also observe big ships cruising in front of the beach. You can also camp around for overnight stay. The resort boosts with videoke corners you can sing your heart out and let emotions run in while enjoying the summer heat.

While on the other hand the neighboring Caliclic Beach resort has the same quality with Isla Beach Resort; economical and simple. The difference is that Caliclic Resort is more tranquil and no videoke. Towering coconut trees and gentle waves kissing the pristine shores, gives a relaxing mood. friendly breeze caressing you all over feels refreshing. And a pure family bonding makes a time-worth respite. 

The two resorts I have been were both splendid yet low-cost. Having fun does not mean you splurge incessantly but you must also keep in mind the essence, you are going to a resort to relax, unwind, reflect, and renew yourself as a well-being. Seize the day, enjoy the view and thank The Maker, for creating a beautiful masterpiece.
