Hoang Ngoc Beach Resort (ex. Oriental Pearl Beach Resort & Spa)

It felt wonderful to return to Pearl Farm after 11 years. The first time we visited, we were newlyweds on our honeymoon; now we came back with our 4‑year‑old son. The resort is still as beautiful and clean as ever, and we truly enjoyed our stay — especially with the great weather. Pros: • The staff were consistently attentive and respectful. • The buffet selection was delicious throughout our 3D2N stay. I was especially happy that, even though my son is a picky eater, there were always kid‑friendly options (soups, kids’ corner), so he ate a lot during our stay. • One staff member, Clyde from the restaurant, really stood out. He was very consistent and made sure our dining experience was excellent throughout. • Our Mandaya Classic room was spacious, and I loved that it was close to both the pool and beach area, giving us privacy whenever we wanted. • The main beach area at Parola was still very clean, and the main pool was warm and inviting — perfect for our son to swim and soak for long periods. • The bed was comfortable, with plenty of pillows, and the air‑conditioning was wonderfully cool. Cons: • My husband mentioned several times during booking and even upon arrival that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, but we didn’t receive any complimentary gesture (not even a simple bed setup or a small cake). It was disappointing because in other resorts we’ve stayed at, they never forget to add a sweet touch for special occasions. I honestly felt sad about this. • The facilities and rooms are quite dated. While everything was clean, it would be better if the resort could maintain a more modern feel while still keeping its theme. Parola, in particular, looks very old and in need of updating. • I’m not sure if there’s a play area for kids. Overall: We would definitely return because we truly enjoyed our stay. However, I hope the resort pays more attention to guests’ important occasions, especially since the rates are not inexpensive.

My stay at Pearl Farm Beach Resort with my cousin may have been short, but it was truly an experience to remember. The food, as always, was exceptional. Every buffet went beyond simply being filling, you could really taste the thought, care, and professionalism behind each dish. The quality of the food was exquisite, with a great variety and consistently impressive flavors. We stayed in one of the Samal Houses, and I’ll admit I was hesitant at first because I thought it might feel hot or humid. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It ended up being one of the best decisions we made. The room was incredibly comfortable, peaceful, and surrounded by such beautiful views that, as cliché as it may sound, it genuinely felt like paradise. I’ve stayed at many resorts both in the Philippines and abroad, and choosing Pearl Farm as the place to show my cousin, who lives in Singapore, one of the best experiences the Philippines has to offer was absolutely the right decision. What really sets Pearl Farm apart is that the luxury isn’t only in the beautiful surroundings, rooms, or food, it’s in the entire experience. From check-in to check-out, you feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and well taken care of. Pearl Farm continues to be a place I would happily come back to and proudly recommend to anyone wanting to experience something truly special in the Philippines. Definitely a 5-star experience.

Still the best place to chill, relax and be intimate with nature. Glad i came back here again with my family. Definitely a place to always go back.

5 star experience...we rented out the big villa for 2 nights...we were the only ones in that side so felt like we had then place to ourselves. Price tag high but you get what you pay for...all inclusive with 5 star food menu. Snorkeling was a pleasure as we just took one step out of villa and we were in the

So we stayed at pearl farm for four days, we booked the Samal suite and it was breathtaking! I asked for the most romantic experience as me and my wife were having our anniversary and the provided us the best Samal suite, the staff went above and beyond for us, making sure we got everything we needed, food was amazing and the service was world class. We did water sports, spa day and also just explored the grounds why keeping everything very relaxed for ourselves. I would definitely come back and we was given an exclusive tour of Malipano island. One of the staff members on the front counter really stood out for us, by everything he did for us, Mark customer service skills are amazing and he needs further praise for his support with our time here.

Our stay at Pearl Farm Beach Resort was truly unforgettable. We spent two nights at Malipano Island and one night at the Samal Suite at the main resort, and from the moment we checked in at the wharf until all our transfers throughout the stay, the team made us feel genuinely cared for. What stood out most was the exceptional service from our butlers, Jessa, Mark and Vik. Mark took care of us on our first and last day and was very efficient and organized, while Jessa looked after us throughout our stay and thoughtfully helped organize our itinerary around the resort. Jessa was especially sweet and even arranged a birthday greeting for my son, which made the trip even more memorable for our family. We also loved experiencing Davao’s warmth and culture throughout the stay. The food was excellent, and we’d like to give special mention to our waiter, Michael Ostria, who anticipated our needs even before we had to ask. That level of attentiveness truly made a difference. The views from both the Samal Suite and the three bedroom villas were absolutely breathtaking. We loved the Sunset Cruise too. Every part of the experience felt relaxing, welcoming, and special. We left with wonderful memories.

The place its amazing atmosphere its amazing room it’s very clean 5 star for the value the price it’s very clean very quite service 5 star amenities 5 star
