Thanks, Janine.

They are coming and going pretty fast. Not sure how they can all survive, but good luck to them all.

Hi Unica – I’ve not been able to locate a number for the resort(s) in Canibad. It appears there are two now, but I don’t have information for them.

Hi Nik – many of the resorts have accommodations for backpackers, tents, nipa hut, etc. I am not familiar with any home-stay programs on Samal, but perhaps someone else is and can chime in.

The 3G coverage is average from what I understand. Some people get Smart to work OK, and some Globe, so it probably depends upon what part of the island you are on.

” … and 4 more that may or may not still exist. ”

LOL. That really made me laugh.

Anyway, do you have any information about accommodations for backpackers? I read from a few sites about home-stay programs in Samal island, but couldn’t find additional details.

By the way, how’s 3G coverage in the island?

Thanks.

I understand that the Hawksbill sea turtle is native to Samal. Punta Del Sol has a dive site and evidently there is a good chance you might see them there.

I haven’t been to all the resorts, but Chema’s has nice sand. Affordable means different things to different people, so I am not sure how to answer that part. I enjoyed the beach at Paradise Island, too. It can get crowded there at times.

I need help. I am going davao. Hear there are turtles there by the beach/ sea? which resort I should stay and would have a bigger chance of seeing turtles crawling in the sand?

Also which resort in SAMAL has the best sand, and yet affordable?

Sounds like that could be Bali-Bali?

I don’t know what too expensive is, but Chema’s by the Sea is pretty nice. It’s usually pretty exclusive and has a nice beach. I like the food @ Precious Garden, and it’s also nice for a couple. The beach is not as inviting in my opinion. Precious is much cheaper than Chema’s. A little more than half the price I believe.

There is contact info for both of those listed.
