Part II: PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT!
Finally, we have arrived to this paradise! Though that time was a windy and a bit drizzling, it didn't ruin the entire day! We were welcome with warm smiles by their staffs handing us with a glass of refreshing juice and hot towel! WOW! Pretty impressive! Then, i was starting to look around and my eyes we wide open. Immediately, i told myself that this is gonna be a wonderful experience. Am i dreaming? NO! This is real, you are in a paradise...
Then one of the staff approached us, "Sir let me carry your bag and let's go to your villa." I just smiled, didn't say a word and kept looking around the entire island! Talking to myself saying, this is world class..this is heaven! While walking towards our villa, still looking around i was impressed of the cleanliness of the entire place and how everything looks flawless.
Once we have reached the villa, all i could say was perfect. The cottage was made out of wood mainly bamboo on its interior and the design was very very good! The cottage stands on the water, there was a glass sliding door that provided me a panoramic view of the pristine water of Samal beach. The rest room was oh so clean and as if it's new, complete with toiletries! I didn't take a lot of pictures that time because i was so too excited that i forgot to take a lot of pictures.
That time after waking myself up into reality, i ordered right away a club sandwich and fruit shake. The food was delivered to our room after 15mins. So I'm ready to roam around and discover the entire resort! Although there were bikes available, i started walking towards the other side of the resort where Mandaya houses are located (Mandaya house are good for families and a group of 5 people). While walking and following the trail, i was able to see the other Samal houses which were not occupied, really private and quiet, i can also see these tall trees moving as if they were dancing around me. As i was walking, i was greeted with a warm smile by one of their crews saying,"Good afternoon sir, welcome to pearl farm!" I feel like, "Who the hell am i?!" It made me feel am rich! Laughs! Upon reaching the other side of the resort, no one was there! I felt that have the entire beach!
Here are some of the pictures, i can't find some of the pictures but i still wanted to share some of the great views in the resort (just have patience looking at my face..laughs!)
After few hours of touring the around the resort, i went back to our cottage and chill. To my surprised i found myself sleeping and it's dinner time. The package that we had already includes all the meals so no worries of ordering and waiting. Their dining area was a huge one, the design was Maranao (i think!) And it's alfresco dining. I a number of people that but still it's not even a crowd. I'm ecstatic again to find out that it was not a buffet style but a five-meal course to fill my appetite! I never ever did expect this.. BON APPETIT!!!
Do i need to say more?! I dont think so...the pictures did the talking! Laughs! It was very yummy and filling.

We stayed at Samal house #2 from the left..
Outside the cottage there is a seating area where you can hangout and savour the moment of being in a paradise..
The bed was oh so big!

Perfect vacation: PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT!
PROLOGUE: It's year 2010 already and it is just appropriate to move forward with the a lot of things in my life. But if i will be given a chance to look back and stay with one event in my life, I will always choose this...
Part I
Months before my birthday last 2006, i knew i will be on my very first vacation. I will go out of town and spend 4 days 3 nights in a place i have never been with someone i dearly loveD(past tense..LOL!), i am not so excited but i am looking forward of what was going to happen. It seemed that time had gone by so fast and October 2 was there. After my work, i immediately grabbed my bag and hailed for a cab heading the domestic airport. Oh boy! It was my first time, everything was unfamiliar but i kept my eyes open to these new and exciting encounters.
My flight was 0830 hrs Manila to Davao.
After an hour and 45 minutes the plane landed at Davao International Airport. The moment i got out of the airport, i smelled a different kind of breeze. Fresh air!
And of course since it was our first time there we took some pictures to capture the moment.
After few more minutes, we looked for a cab to bring us where we can eat since it was lunch time already. We had chicken barbecue and "sinigang na tuna belly!" It was awesome and what surprised me was the price, it was very cheap! It was back then though..laughs!
Upon reaching the Pearl Farm Wharf, a pit stop where we will be transferred by a private ferry to the PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT! We were greeted very warmly at the Marina and the lady confirmed our reservation and she hospitably ushered us to the receiving area and she gave us a tour of the entire Marina. It was pretty impressive!
Here are some of the pictures:
There were lots of trees and it was so relaxing!
Around 1:45pm, we boarded a white ferry. There was just a number of us: the two of us, there was a group which i believed was a family, one foreigner and another couple, a Japanese and a Filipina. Imagine, it was just us who will enjoy this piece of heaven. It was a bumpy boat ride that afternoon, waves were very strong but none the less the 45minute boat ride was worth it. We arrive at the resort!!!
PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT is premiere resort located in the southern part of the Philippines, Samal group of island in Davao City. This 14-hectare resort was once a pearl farm where where thousands of white-lipped oysters transported from the Sulu Sea, were cultivated for their pink, white and gold pearls. Today, it is considered as one of the prime tourist spots in Southern part of the Philippines.
So there, a brief background on the resort.
Let me tell you the rest of the vacation on my next post.
