Hotels near Kaputian Beach in Samal Island

Our group decided to take the boat service from their wharf as the Samal ferry boat was a 1/2-3 hour wait each way. The hotel is fairly new and looks great with its all-white exterior and interiors. The food wasn't bad at all and the buffet service we had during our meeting and stay was quite good. However, do not stay in rooms 119-122 if you want to get a good night's sleep or if you are planning to sleep in. Their restaurant is above these rooms and despite the rooms being priced at a premium since they open straight to the pool, the noise of tables and chairs being re-arranged to accommodate the diners woke us up at 4 am and by 6 am. The ceiling of the rooms/floor of the restaurant are not noise-proof at all. The tables and chairs being dragged upstairs can be heard downstairs in the rooms and can wake even the heaviest sleeper. Also, the shower area wasn't built right- the water wasn't draining at all and left a pool of water which can be very slippery as it wouldn't dry. We also asked for additional water for the 2nd day and expected at least 2 more bottles of water but sadly, they give you the smallest bottles. And we didn't get any new bottles of water the following day. After asking for more water to replace our 2 small bottles, we were given a jug of water instead which was filtered water so it was okay. The price of the room we stayed in was more expensive than our room at the Shangri-la Hotel where the facilities and rooms were more upscale. It might not be on the beach but you can get a better night's sleep and comes with a free gym, bigger pool plus wet floors (steam sauna), dry sauna plus a jacuzzi and cold pool, all free. Despite our disappointment with being roused from our sleep at the unholy hour of 4am, kudos to Club Samal for their friendly staff and their very clean rooms and environment, as well as their live entertainment and beach-side dining experience at night which made our stay special.

Stayed at Acacia Hotel Davao for 1 night it was memorable. Since, my family come all the way here from Surigao del Sur. Staff are very accomodating and child-friendly. From the Security to Front office, Housekeeping staff for attending our needs in our room, and to Waling-Waling staff and Lukfoo staff. Thank you very much! Special thanks to Sir Ian, Ms. Princess, Ms. Christine, Sir Enrico, Cap Albert and Cap Harvey! Kudos!!! Most Recommended Hotel here in Davao ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I stepped foot into the grand lobby, I was embraced by an atmosphere of elegance and warmth.

I found the hotel worth recommending. Front desk personnel were kind and respectful. The lobby was so colorful and conducive to guests while waiting for their designated rooms. The family room was so big and the queen beds weee soft and the pillows were clean.

I am on my Vismin leg of trainings and Davao is my last for this week. Had a great, smooth time in Tacloban, Cebu, Bohol and this last seminar in this hotel have been very challenging so far. At the front desk, I requested for lower floor, which I normally do (due personal traumatic experience which I do not need to explain) and after a series of ”please” thank God, Kate of Front Desk stepped in and found us a room at 6th which will be ready only by 5pm. It was turned over around 6pm. In preparation for our Monday seminar, we coordinated with Rose of Banquet to ocular the place as we have a specific layout to follow that will be good for classroom set up, group dynamics and dining. When we arrived at Ruby function room, linen staff Cory was there arranging for our seminar on Monday so we rendered help in lay outing the tables and chairs, projector screen. When we had to coordinate with the technical, we requested an HDMI longer than 1 meter so laptop can rest on the tech table. Sure they have a longer one but with additional charge of P300/day. When I asked for wireless mic to be used since the activity will involve passing around of microphone among the participants, guess what? Yes, an additional P800/mic/day will be charged! So with the 3 days seminar and 1 week stay that we pre booked and paid , these little requests do not come free. I do not want to ruin my Davao stay because I am an avid fan of our former President Duterte and only have the highest respects for his place. I hope to find some pleasant things from this hotel for the remaining days of my stay here to compensate for the ugly start. Time to activate the Vision Mission which is in every room of the hotel and not just left on the brochure. A simple greeting, some genuine smiles mean a lot to every customer. So far the only staff who has a ready smile and genuinely asks how he can be of service is Jaypee, service crew of Cafe Frances. He takes time to talk with the customers and ask how they are doing and recommends the best dish. Food is great and reasonably priced -- large servings and delicious! As for the edifice, needs repairs and refurbs. We had to call in help for the A/C and busted light bulb.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The front desk staff was very helpful and was always willing to assist us all the important information that we needed. Although there was no elevator at the hotel, they made sure our luggage was carried up by concierge. We couldn’t enjoy a dip in the pool during our stay because they were cleaning it, but we got some nice photos taken there! They even allowed us a slightly later ‘check out’ timing as we needed the additional rest time before our long journey to the village. The food at the hotel’s restaurant was very satisfying and the service was pleasant too and we will definitely be back to stay there again.
