Daily News and Pictures: Samal Island

Last weekend we had an acquaintance party at Camp Holiday Beach Resort in Brgy. Kinawitnon, Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS). We had so much fun...parlor games were played...food was great! Some of my colleagues brought with them their kids and spouses.

Camp holiday Resort is a new addition to the many resorts in Samal Island. It is very accessible because it is situated just right beside the barge wharf. It is very clean and it has a nice ambiance. It has enough space for kids, camping and games.

There are a number of guest houses inside the resort. It is air-conditioned, with hot and cold shower, toilet, and a cable TV. This is good for 3 persons at a rate of Php1,800.00.

Have you experience being burned out and really needs a place as getaway/hideaway from the hassle dazzle of the fast-paced life in the city? This place is the right one for you. The place is called Cannibad located in Samal Island. In here, you can get intimate with nature and of course, be intimate with your loved one/s.

It's just easy to get there. From downtown Davao, you can take a jeepney or a taxi going to Sasa Km. 11 and ride a ferry boat going to Babak. Another option is to ride Island City Express bus at Sta. Ana Avenue (near Magsaysay Park) in going to Babak, Samal Island. From Babak, you can ride a single motorcycle (locally known as habal-habal) for a fare of Php100.00/person or hire a multicab for a fare of Php700.00 (this is good for about 12 people, this is recommended if you are a group). After about an hour ride...voila! there you are...reaching Cannibad, a somewhat secluded place away from the city...away from the crowded beaches in other parts of Samal island.

Here are some photos of Cannibad...

You can enjoy the pristine waters...
