Davao - Pearl Farm

[design21]

@belle_in_pink it's not that expensive naman it's only P5,200

[belle_in_pink]

^ Uy, didn't know it was just 5k+.  Anong room ito?

[mama squeak!]

^sis check mo lang their website. Mayamaya nagpro-promo sila specially during lean season.

[belle_in_pink]

^ Thanks for the tip.  I will.  Di kasi ako matyaga na bantayan mga resort/hotel sites, pero mukhang kelangan ko na gawin.

[design21]

samal room sis yung nasa water good for two na yun i booked thru agoda with breakfast na yan kasi kapag website nila kahit promo per person kasi mga 9k lalabas or more. ok naman agoda nagconfirm agad manila office ng pearl farm kasi need din na magbook for the boat transfer.

[belle_in_pink]

^ Pero kasama a sa binook mo through Agoda yung boat transfers?  You just had to confirm with Pearl Farm directly?

Wow, I'm learning a lot.  Never tried booking through these kinds of sites before.  Marami rin palang good deals.  I always thought that the cheapest would be to get from the source directly.

inclusive na sa transfer sis ang hindi lang kasama is airport pick up which is 200 per person. so 400 kami dalawa vs. 100 lang from airport to marina via taxi. may agoda thread it's nice naman tried and tested saka may option ka to view it in Pesos so you will know how much they will charge you sa card mo. plus if member ka you can have rebates.

Hi landrexi, can you be more specific as to where, which resort, etc?

in any case, I found a Philippine blogger sharing his recent experiences in Palawan

The Pearl  Farm resort  in  the Island Garden City of Samal,  and not  about  any pearl farm. Thanks anyway for that link.

For our tenth wedding anniversary we stayed here for 6 days. For some it can be boring kasi we stayed at one place lang but hubby and I were looking for a place to relax and not think about anything else. This was the perfect place for us. We stayed at their Samal House. Good food but nothing to rave about.
Days were spent either at the beach or at the pool. Nights were spent drinking at their Parola Bar, love their happy hour! So-so lang their spa. Mas gusto ko pa rin my home massage with my suki therapist. 

It was good timing too kasi wala masyadong guests the time we stayed so we practically had the whole place to ourselves. Overall hubby and I enjoyed our stay here. Would want to go back again one of these days.

^are you referring to Pearl Farm in Davao? would you know kung pwede lumabas from PF by land? or by boat lang talaga? did you book directly with them or via agoda or other facilities pa?

[mama squeak!]

^yes. We took the boat to the island. Not sure kung may way by land but I doubt it kasi when we went around the place gubat na yung sa likod. And their supplies came in by boat too. I booked directly with them.

[ayionick]

^thanks for replying. We'll arrive early in davao and plan to go first to pearl farm just to leave our things if they can't allow us to checkin early. Then, we want to go out again to have Samal tour and be back to PF by 2pm. But we're not sure if we can do this.

[mama squeak!]

^sis, if you plan to go on tour first you can leave your things with them at their marina. That's where you take the boat to get to Pearl Farm. Maganda their facility, they have a lounge and pool there. Dun na rin kami nag early lunch ni hubby while waiting for our boat to the island.

Enjoy your stay!   

[ayionick]

^ah so we don't need to go to PF muna pala kung lalabas din naman kame (since by 9am andun na kame sa PF). we can leave our things in marina wharf para dun na din namin balikan in time for our boat transfer. do they have lockers there or we'll just leave our things on the reception? is this for free ba?

[mama squeak!]

^I didn't notice any lockers but free for guests to leave their stuff there. Dun ka na rin kasi mag-check in. They'll put tags in your bags na rin. Secure naman sa reception area nila or wherever they leave your bags. Don't leave valuables na lang para sure.

[ayionick]

^thank you so much, mama squeak!

^ may nabasa ko na blog na pd ka mag samal tour, kinausap lang nila yung staff ng pearl farm at pinadaan sila sa backdoor at bumalik na lang sila ng lunch time. yung sinakyan nila motor lang, angkas sila sa likod. hindi ko na maalala kung anong blog. sayang nag di ko nagawa nung nagpunta kami sa PF, sayang din yung chance.

[ayionick]

^sis, eto ba yung blog: http://themorbidangel.wordpress.com/the-davao-chronicles-2010/island-garden-city-of-samal-2010/

we want to that iti din, pagdating namin ng PF ng 9am lalabas muna kame sa backdoor for Samal Inland tour since 2PM pa ang checkin. dun kame sa backdoor magpapa-antay sa multicab/van na mako-contact namin.
