AT the top of the list of must-go places this summer are the beaches. Dabawenyos are one lucky bunch as they can simply cross to the Island Garden City of Samal for a quick beach getaway.
This year make your summer beach vacation more exciting with a visit to the Villa Amparo Garden Beach Resort.
Aside from enjoying the beach, the resort has a number of activities that you can enjoy during your stay here.
"Apart from the regular water activities like the kayak, jet ski, banana boat, and flying fish, we have made additions to the resort like the swimming pool and the Outdoor Adventure," Karen Santos, operations manager, said.
For those who want to just relax and enjoy the great views of the Davao Gulf, spend your time at the swimming pool.
Meanwhile, the resort's newest facility, the outdoor adventure will put another layer of fun during your stay here.
"This is the first of its kind for a beach resort in Samal Island," Santos said.
Among the activities you can do here are wall climbing and rappeling (or abseiling).
Santos assured guests that their Outdoor Adventure experience is safe as they follow international safety standards and the staff manning the facility are certified.
Aside from the fun activities you can do here, Villa Amparo Garden Beach Resort also offers a relaxing escape from the urban jungle with its lush green surroundings.
Your family or friends will also have a comfortable stay here at their homey rooms.
