The view was perfect although it was quite far from the port area it took 1 hour and 30 minutes to arrive there. We were in awe it was very clean and there were numerous wildlife found in the island. We had our own personal butler so it was easy to request for the things we needed. There were limited choices for the food and a bit pricey. There were not a lot of tourists during that time and we were very satisfied with that because it seemed that the whole area was ours at that moment. It was a perfect place to stay and relax. They also accept credit card for some payments but make sure you have cash when you want to get a massage. Their massage therapist was really good my husband and I were able to relax.

This resort are all goods...they can fetch you if you don't have a transportation vehicle. They use there Van or "lantsa" to to take you with your baggage. The batlers or waiters are so friendly they make smile every time when you faced or encountered. This resort is best recommended for group members or people because they can handled it all, due to big room, table and sorroundings.

I was amazed by how calm and natural the place was. The staff were very friendly, approachable, and respectful, especially regarding how they treated LGBTQ individuals. The room was clean; however, the most challenging part was the uphill trek, as our room was located on the upper part and far away from the beach. Though the food was very pricey, and there were some hidden charges that we had to pay, overall, everything was amazing.

Just wanted to draw attention to a very misleading claim if making your reservation via Booking .com On their booking page it states FREE Airport transfer. So I booked and then contacted the resort enquiring about the transfer. I was informed it would cost PHP 5,500 EACH WAY. This equated to 26% additional cost to the holiday. I decided to cancel and with assistance from Booking .com (because the resort were not answering the phone or replying to email) got a full refund. On Agoda they say the Airport transfer fee is PHP 4000 ... I assume 1 way ...

Nice view and their room was very clean and relaxing. Maganda ang kanilang tanawin pati na ang kanilang dagat, at tsaka ang pool na napaka malinis at mga tao ay mababait. Nabibihani ako sa kanilang paligid sa subrang ganda at ang linis, maraming mga puno at subrang fresh ang hangin.

I booked a room for 3 nights months ago via Agoda for Aug 1 to 4. I was informed by the resort via Agoda app that guests who are non-Davao region residents need to present a negative RT PCR result (which I am more than happy to comply).
So fast forward… 3 days before the trip, I presented our IDs. That’s when the resort’s reservation personnel, Ria, informed me that they will not be accepting guests from outside Davao region since it the LGU policy was revised. Imagine, we flew miles just to be told that you are not allowed to enter Samal? I mean… the policy was implemented weeks ago, and I have been reiterating over and over about the fact that guests are non-Davao residents.
Plus, Ria was really unapologetic, unprofessional, and completely incompetent. I was just told that I will just have to cancel my booking. She can’t do anything about it. She kept on saying that she doesn’t have any idea.
What’s more frustrating is the reason she provided: 1. They are on skeletal, and staff A didn’t inform staff B that guests are coming from outside Davao 2. The LGU’s policy is confusing
After the encounter with Ria, her seemed to be boss called. Her way of talking is better, but still impose that it is not the fault of the resort because of the 2 reasons I mentioned above.
I already requested for refund and cancellation to Agoda. I also filed a complaint through them. However, I want everyone to know how the resort poorly handled my case. Do not book Hof Gorei of you don’t want your vacation to be ruined.
The emotional and physical stress that the resort is something that cannot be measured, and ultimately cannot be take back.

We got shamelessly cheated by the resort management! We were assured of strong Globe cellular data which is why I agreed to book. Was clear with the staff we needed to work so needed confirmation of the connection. When we reached our room there was no data and the story suddenly changed to the cellular data comes and goes. The manager was the worst! She was pinning the issue to their staff and was cursing and shouting at her to be the one to pay us back. We ended up leaving with no refund at all. We booked 2 nights and they had no shame and kept the payment for the 2nd night too. Very selfish and inconsiderate behavior on Holy Week itself!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very friendly staff, good food, nice beach. The staff will really go the extra mile to make your stay pleasant. The neighbor resort started a karaoke at full blast, I didn't even have to say anything, the butler already told me that they called the owner and it will be solved shortly. Maybe the nr.1 resort at Samal. Thank you!! We really enjoyed our stay. Very friendly staff, good food, nice beach. The staff will really go the extra mile to make your stay pleasant.
