3-Star Hotels in Samal Island

The round hut is very classy. You will see the whole Davao Gulf iff you peek by the window. The pool's cleanliness is well-maintained. Foods are cooked and presented very well, and very delicious. Kudos to the butlers and the entire staff, who are very attentive and quick to the needs of the guests. We'll definitely visit again soon.

The initial welcome was very good for a hotel of this kind. The room was okay although a coat of paint would make it more pleasing than scuff marks everywhere. The lighting was stark - recessed bright bulbs do not give the right ambiance when no dimming. There is a lack of reading lamps above the bed (yes people do still read). The aircon unit was very noisy at night - this appears to be dependant on the make. Although we were out for a whole day on our return the room had not been made up and tea/coffee went un- replenished. Given the market this hotel is aiming for this was a huge disappointment. The in house meals weee good but there is a lack of consistency with staff service which could be improved.

Our staycation in Crusoe cabins is nothing short but amazing. The check-in is organize and have a dedicated staff to guide and tour you to the cabin. They provide wrist bands with touch function for room access which is quite innovative. The room had two bunk beds which is very sturdy, comfy beds and it is impeccable clean. The AC (bit cold) are functioning well, restroom is quite well maintained. The convertible sofa bed is nice for a netflix night. The swimming pool is beautiful, offers a good view of Davao gulf. We enjoyed the pool slides both adult and for the kids. The beach shoreline not so impressive since it was rainy on early morning. But we still enjoyed swimming at the deep area. We had fantastic dinner at their restaurant (Captain Barbozza), group meal set which is money saver. The food is great and commendable, everyone approves it. While our breakfast had been served at the terrace, we got silog meals and it was satisfying. Overall, we had good impression and experience at Crusoe Cabins Costa Azalea. We highly recommend them to stay in Samal.

They have the best guest service. Resort is easily accessible with their boat transfer. enjoyed swimming in both pools located at the Shoreline and Morning Catch restaurants. We just have a few comments on the food at the Shoreline. Nothing special considering it’s a five star resort. Expected too much, we ordered Pork Liempo and Shrimp Sinigang on our 1st day, then ordered chicken wings with cheese (literally covered with cheese powder) so my tastebuds were already messed up by the time I’ve eaten 4 chicken wings 🤣. We also ordered Linguine Scampi, again nothing spectacular. Please improve food from The Shoreline. However, breakfast was scrumptious and was worth it to wake up early for it. We also ordered room service from Morning Catch, we enjoyed the Seafood Laksa and Bun Thit. But we definitely appreciate the effort in preparing a birthday treat from our room to the sweet cake served at the resto. Thank you Discovery! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back soon and hope to stay in the villa next time!

I am a hotel guy, hands down but when I found out that I could get my own room, I took a chance and went for it and I am SUPER HAPPY that I did. I normally stay at beach front resorts until a high maintenance friend suggested I give this hostel a shot. In my head, if my diva friend enjoyed this facility, then I could enjoy it too 😆. The place is NOT a beach front resort so you need to know that if you are only a beach front person. If you don’t have a car, there are “tricycles” that can you to the beach front for a super low cost. Drivers and locals are mega friendly and trustworthy. There’s a dog here named Yukie who’d even come with you if you like ❤️❤️. Anyway, the hostel is pretty rad. My room had air conditioning, a very comfortable bed and hot shower. NO television & wifi because the hostel encourages you to disconnect. If you want wifi, like me right now as I’m making this very review, you’d need to walk to the common area where you can eat your self service breakfast. They served me corn coffee which is pretty awesome. Then a continental breakfast as well. This common area has a television too so if you want to watch the news, you go right ahead. When I woke up this morning, there were many exotic birds chirping their little hearts away. So freaking cute. I checked out all the rooms so I can give my friends an accurate description. There are rooms with 4 single beds. Rooms with bunk beds with their own reading lights and 2 bathrooms in each shared rooms. The deluxe room is pretty awesome too. The art works are beautiful. Although the place advertises itself as a hostel, I am able to say that it’s a hybrid of a hotel and a hostel. I’ve seen hostels in Vancouver that made me want to barf. This hostel has gotten me SUPER IMPRESSED. Really clean. Really well maintained. Staff is awesome and initiative. I am very very impressed and I plan to bring my family and friends the next time I come back.
