We love staying in this resort and we just keep on coming back! The service is always amazing. We actually just had our son's first birthday and our guests had an awesome time as well!

PS. Food they serve is super yummo as well πŸ™‚

Staying in Punta de Gloria has been a dream come true for me. I have been making plans to take my two children and my mother to Samal. Our goal is to give them a chance to relax and have some fun after a long year of studying and working. We all need a break. I am extremely pleased that we chose to have our staycation at your resort. Thank you very much for the excellent service your staff provided. We would also like to express our gratitude to the Manager for her warm and welcoming attitude towards us. Thanks also to the owner for accommodating us. Much gratitude. 😘❀️ DAGHANG SALAMAT.

I've been to Punta de Gloria several times and each time was a fun and memorable one.

I love their friendly and helpful staff. The ambience of the rooms, restaurant & outdoor areas are superb! The food are yummy especially their tinolang native manok.

My barkada and I celebrated our Christmas Party there and we had a blast! The management accomodated our request for the place to be decorated based on our theme and it turned out more than what we expected.

I definitely will go back again.

Highly recommended! 😊

My friends and I had such an awesome time in this gem of s place. We wanted a private hideaway to hold our annual get together for our group and this place fit the Bill. 😍

Food was great, our rooms were sparkly clean and so spacious, staff were super attentive, and management catered to all requests. Best of all, the presidential villa afforded us much privacy to go crazy 😁

Thank you Punta De Gloria for this amazing experience, keep up the good work! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

We were supposed to stay in Punta de Gloria for 3D 2N but we refunded our 2nd day, and transferred to another resort.

They charge you β‚±3,000/night at the Sea Escape Room, but we felt that what we paid for was NOT WORTH IT. Here's why:

1) They can improve a little more in terms of being responsive on their Facebook Page. It'll take you hours, if not plenty of minutes before they respond.

2) The room was not clean, you will notice ants crawling in the bed. They said they did everything to treat the ANTS but they still come back.

3) Night of our stay, there was a POISONOUS CENTIPEDE that crawled in the bed. πŸ₯²

4) There was a DEAD LIZARD in one of the shelves. 😫

5) EVERY PILLOW HAD MOLDS - either on the side or the whole pillow itself. 😭

6) The towels were torn at the edges.

7) CR was not clean too, it had dead insects in each corners.

8) Water pressure was not enough for you to use the hot shower. Flush was not working as well, we had to use "tabo" for flushing. Typically we won't be bothered kasi cowboy naman kami, but we remembered we paid a lot for the room.

9) The beach also had no shore, your feet will land on shells, the steps going down the water and that's it. No shore. I'm curious if it was just because of high tide? I'm not sure.

10) We requested for late checkout because we need time in securing our next place to stay. Honestly we were shocked at the idea that we had to transfer to another resort considering EVERYTHING WAS ALREADY ORGANIZED before we arrived in Davao. To our surprise, they said they cannot allow us to checkout late because there will be GUESTS THAT'LL OCCUPY THE ROOM AFTER US - mind you, we were supposed to stay for 2 nights. Super frustrating! 😣

11) Breakfast was continental - 3pcs of loaf bread, butter, sunny side up egg, instant coffee and bananas. At 7am we tried to order extra food because this will not suffice for breakfast, but they said their resto will open at 12:30pm so we had to wait 5 more hours to be full. Food prices were too high too, considering its serving size. πŸ˜”

12) When we went up to their resto for our Final Lunch, we were offered NO APOLOGY. The owner was there too, but only talked to us about the "uphill battle" on the 100+ steps we had to endure to exit the resort. It's just sad.

Before we went there, we stayed at the resort beside them (Villa Amparo) priced at β‚±3,500/night but their service WAS WAY BEYOND what we paid for they also had affordable meals (β‚±150 - 300 depending on your order). We only transferred at Punta de Gloria coz we wanna try out different resorts in Samal.

I think the only thing that was notable here were some of their people - like the guy who will assist you with your luggage and the manong who delivered our breakfast. I'd say SOME of their staff is great and they tried their best.

Going back to their Facebook Page, it was nothing like what they presented it there. I felt like we wasted one day out of the limited time we had when we visited Davao last Aug 2022. This was truly a TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE for me. I won't be coming back here unless they make MAJOR CHANGES to their resort. I suggest you spare yourselves from the trauma. πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
