A Simple, Peaceful, and Romantic Getaway at Island Garden Resort in Pangubatan, Samal

By Sarah Aterrado - April 05, 2017

Whew! That's a long title. But not as long as the road that we took just to get to this paradise.

Island Garden in Pangubatan Samal


Situated more than 40kms away from Babak, Samal, the Island Garden Resort in Pangubatan is not known to many (at least for me). I've never heard about this resort until Jan's office mates decided to have their quarterly event here. But for some reason, the event didn't push through - which could only mean, Jan and I ended up having the whole weekend all to ourselves!

And we definitely had a great time! This vlog will tell you so:


Anyway, here are some of our pictures because I am too lazy to put into writing every detail of our getaway (but if you watched the vlog, you will see almost everything about the resort and my feedback):

    1. We actually booked our room via Agoda (you get cheaper rates there). I don't really have info about the cottages for daytour. They take walk-in clients but only when the resort is not fully-booked. But they're usually fully-booked, so it's better that you reserve beforehand. You may contact them at the numbers posted above for exact rates. :)
