I'm an American living here in Samal for the past 10 years. I have also traveled extensively throughout The Philippines. I own and operate Davao Tropical Adventure Travel and Tour. We specialize in Samal/Davao City tourism for the foreign tourist. Before moving here to the Philippines, I lived 9 years in China where I also owned and operated a tour company. My experience in the tourism industry, and my knowledge of the Samal/Davao area will help you to make the most out of your visit here in Samal, Davao City, and The Philippines.

Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, a family, or a group of friends, we have the perfect accommodation to fit your every need—each apartment has air conditioning, television and Star Link internet service, with a private Western-style bathroom supplied with hot water for a comfortable shower. Enjoy our free amenities including; our outdoor kitchen, swimming pool, gym, and a lovely and roomy pavilion for group meetings. From our pavilion area you will enjoy a breathtaking, overlooking view of the ocean, all while you are mesmerized by the sound of the flowing water, as it gently turns our rustic artesian themed waterwheel. You can relax to the panoramic view perched high above the sea, with the majestic mountains of Davao Oriental in the background. Or you might choose to relax right on the beach, or on our private deck extending out over the ocean, taking in the beautiful sea view. You can actually see the colorful coral from the deck. Savor Western and/or Filipino dishes from our menu, freshly served just for you. For a taste of adventure, try snorkeling, kayaking, or enjoy exploring nearby Ligid Island—it's a guest favorite! We also have 2 separate apartments located at beach area.

We are located in Barangay Balet, which is a quaint fishing village. We are 2 km from the local fish market. Popular resorts for nightlife are 6 to 8 km away. Babak, the largest town in Samal is 18 km away. We have several small shops in the neighborhood for snacks and beverages, but Babak is only 30 minutes away by motorcycle taxi. We also have a motorcycle for rent. We are very near Big Ligid Island, (30 minutes by kayak) and 12 km from Canibad Beach, which is considered a hidden gem here on Samal Island.
