It's been raining for a few days now and I am starting to feel that summer's finally drawing to a close--but it ain't over, till my summer posts are over. Okay? I have not done blogging about my summer adventure yet, so before the rainy season officially begin, lemme get this post done. I'd say rainy days are soothing when you get to stay in, curling up warm in sweats, in bed-- eating pizza while blogging but still summer will always be my fave. The blazing sun and the beach, I have always love the beach. The sand castles, the smell of the ocean air, the whooshing waves, the wind in my face, the sun-kissed hair, the colorful bikinis, tan lines and the carefree days away from the hustle and bustle in the city. Oh, how I miss the beach, how I miss summer. Though I always complain of being a 'pandesal in a pugon' and my migraine usually kicks up because of the scorching heat, summer is when I am the happiest and honestly this sepanx is killing me! So lemme brighten our day with these photos from our Samal Island adventure, okay?
Day 5 (March 19,2016)
Second stop of our Samal Island adventure was at Villa Amparo Beach Resort. There are so many beautiful and picturesque beach resorts in Samal Island and VABR is just one of them. Located at Sitio Dasag, Barangay Camudmud in the Island Garden City of Samal, Davao del Norte. Villa Amparo is endowed with white powdery sand shores in pristine blue waters. However, it doesn’t command a view of Davao City. You’ll see nothing but the beauty and wonder of the resort and hear nothing but the gentle cool breeze from the sea and the wonderful sounds of nature. The sprawling 100 – meter area is a declared Fish Sanctuary because of its abundance in marine life great for snorkeling and diving.
One of the resort’s amenities includes its charming Boardwalk Gazebo that may be reached by a footbridge and can accommodate 12 to 15 persons. Enjoy the night or eat with delight at their Bar and Restaurant or spend some time talking with friends or family while having some merienda at their Snacks and Refreshments Kiosk. Children will definitely enjoy their stay with the Kid’s Sandbox where they can start practicing sand arts. A paradise getaway wouldn’t be complete without indulging yourself to water sports activities. The resort offers its guests with a list of water sports facilities, to which you may approach in their coordinator. Other amenities include Little Samal, Japanese Garden, View Deck, Boat Dock, and The Pavillion, x, Videoke Rooms, Outdoor Fun Station, Spa, Grilling Area, Fishing Area and camp site.
To be honest, Villa Amparo wasn't my first choice, I really wanted Pearl Farm but it's quite pricey and far from Babak so Michael and I just promised to visit Pearl Farm next time. But all in all Villa Amparo is really great, if you're looking for an affordable solemn place where you can relax, chill and unwind Villa Amparo Beach Resort is perfect. Though we only stayed for a few hours, Michael and I really enjoyed our stay. Day Tour entrance is only 100php and you can get a cottage for as low as 300php but since we told them that we will just stay for a couple of hours or so, they allowed us to use any available cottage for free, see that? They're so nice and very accommodating. We were very grateful! There you go for now, last part of our Samal Island adventure is coming up next so yeah, see yeah!
PS
Unfortunately, I didn't get much info about their overnight stay and accomodation rates and their website seems not working as of the moment, so I suggest you guys to just research and read some blogs for now. Will update this once their website is working. Sorry.
