Summer is when your hair gets lighter, skin gets darker, water gets warmer, drinks get colder, music gets louder, nights get longer and life gets better.
First on the list; Island Hills Village Resort. Island Hills Village Resort is an exclusive resort for the homeowners of the said subdivision. It is conveniently located in Brgy. Tambo, Babak, Island Garden City of Samal. It is just a 5-minute ride from Kinawitnon Ferry Boat and just 3 minutes ride from Babak Wharf. However, the resort was also open to the public.
Day tour: Php 50.00
Overnight: Php 100.00
Kubo Type Cottages: Php 300.00

| Umbrella Type Cottages: Php 300.00 |

Function Hall: Php 10,00.00/day

They don't have closed cottages, so for those who are interested to stay overnight bring with you your own tent. The place is perfect for family reunions, wedding reception, baptismal, birthday or any celebration that you want to make it more special and away from the crowded beaches of the island.
In front of the beach are the beautiful mangrove trees and path walks, perfect for your instagrammable pictures.
It was a perfect super hot sunny day to achieve the tan lines that you want for summer.
I was with my family as we celebrate the 90th Birthday of our grandfather.

| Umbrella #7, at the back of the function hall. We chose to stay here because it's the nearest cottage for an electric outlet. We're at the beach but we bring with us a mini electric fan intended for Papa. |
Honest feedback, the place was intensely hot that I got sunburned in my shoulders. Even if you just stayed in your cottage. For anyone planning to go here, you need to bring with you extension wire and electric fan (of your choice).

Reading some reviews about the beach, a lot mentioned that customer service sucks. Well for me, I don't have any problem at all. They accommodated as well from the reservation and during the actual date. Note that they don't ask for any reservation fees.
Things to consider about the place are; 1. Summer is hot and it's a lot hotter in the area. Make sure to bring with some oil or sunblock lotion to protect your skin from excessive heat of the sun. 2. For an overnight stay, they don't offer a tent for rent, make sure you have one. 3. Swim at your own risk, there is no available life vest, watch out for your little kiddos.
Hoping to visit more amazing places in Samal Island. I am a Samalenya, but I seldom go out to visit these beautiful beaches that the island has.
