Hi Roy, yeah, it’s the island (in Davao Gulf). I am not sure, which beach resort you visited. There are a lot now, but my favourite is Paradise Island Park and Beach Resort (also since 1982). We know the owners since that time. Excellent foot, outstanding staff, quite places to swim and rewind… . mmh – actually I shouldn’t make more promotion.

Anyway, thanks for dropping by. Let me know, if you plan to visit Davao and Samal Island as well.

Hi Martin, meanwhile I am back again in Davao – hit by many things to be done… but, that’s life. Better then sitting bored under a palm… . Enjoy also your time out and relax my friend…

Hi Danny, thanks. I really did. Samal Island is always my place for “recharging” since 1982… .

Hi Phil n Jess, yeah, I enjoyed my time out – but unfortunately I got as little bit lobster colour… Maybe I enjoyed too much swimming… but it’s okay… Thanks for your good wishes.

Hi Klaus, is this the small island very close to the DVO city? I think I was there about 10 yrs ago. I remember we rod a tug boat I think and we were brought to this resort teeming w/ tourists, there’s a restaurant as well. The sands were not fine I think but somewhat white. This was 10 yrs ago. I imagine that there’s been a lot of improvemnets there.

Hi Bob,

As a matter of fact, this upcoming trip we were supposed to be visiting Dinagat! But my friends will only be staying for a week, and they really want to go to Siargao as well. So, we plan on doing 3 days of island hopping out of Surigao City and 3 days in Siargao. I’ll let you know if we change the route again and add Dinagat to the list.

Cheers!

Hi Martin – Have you ever been up to Dinagat? I’ve been itching to go up there. If so, I’d love to hear a little about the logistics of such a trip.

Hi Klaus!

Have a great week in Samal! I’m almost at the point where I need a good vacation too. Good thing I’ll take my week long break at the end of May — I’m taking a group of friends for a week of island hopping and adventure in Surigao and Siargao!

Relax, my friend, and enjoy the beach!
