Idyllic Getaway In Samal Island

I dragged the boyfriend to go with me and check out Pearl Farm Beach Resort in Samal Island. Our Cebu Pacific flight to Davao was considerably delayed for a record time of 3 hours! In fairness to the long wait and inconvenience, we did get a free meal from the airline to compensate. Here's an aerial shot of Davao City before we landed.
We were met at the airport by the staff from Pearl Farm who were waiting for about 3 hours wondering why our flight was delayed. We had to take a boat to get to Samal Island but since it had already left we had to wait for the next one to come. Good thing their waiting area is really nice with a cafe and good facilities [kind of like the waiting area of Boracay Regency in Caticlan]. The boyfriend also brought his macbook so we entertained ourselves with that for a while.
These cogon huts are scattered around the resort too and lends a very beachy touch.
The reception area in Davao where we waited for the boat to take us to Samal Island.
First glimpse of Pearl Farm - the Samal Suites...
Reception area with banig covering the ceiling...
Maranao Restaurant dining area - buffet style.
Samal houses on stilts - awesome!
Gorgeous sunset on the horizon.
The Parola Bar is pretty much the main attraction here and steals the spotlight every time. 
Infinity pool!
Of course I had to take a dip :)
I want a vacation house like this in the future. It looks so presko.

And finally me and the boyfriend refreshed and relaxed.
