Leticia By The Sea |
Leticia By The Sea is a relatively small but private resort situated in Talikud Island, southwest off the coast of the bigger Samal Island. It is one of the business establishments owned and operated by the Casa Leticia group in Davao City: the Casa Leticia Boutique Hotel, and Casa Leticia Business Inn; the same group who operates Sagay Restaurant, Tsuru Japanese Restaurant, and Hanoi Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant.
The Resort lies in a stretch of white sand beach amid towering coconut trees perched in a rocky terrain and a cliff of lush greenery, and commands a magnificent view of the clear blue waters of Davao Gulf. Here, guests may use the resort exclusively for a day or so, or, however long the guests would want to stay. There are rental packages which include comfortable accommodations and use of recreational facilities and boat transfers. A resident chef and resort staff are available round the clock to assist guests of the Resort.

The Beach |
With the white shoreline beach and clear blue waters of the Davao Gulf, the Resort promises a fun-filled day of activities and water sports such as, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, jet skiing, wake boarding, paparazzi, GT3 ride, inflatable rides, water trampoline, and, of course, their Sunset Cruise where guests are taken to a leisurely cruise of the Samal Strait by a speedboat to view the sun as its sets in the afternoon behind the majestic peak of Mount Apo, while guests are served with a variety of refreshing drinks, fruit platter, or snacks, with music playing softly on board.
Rich marine life awaits divers in the Gulf of Davao, and scuba diving is one of the popular pursuits in the Resort. Underwater, many soft to hard corals can be seen with schools of tropical fish in vibrant colors abound right across the shoreline.
While the Resort does not have its own equipment for scuba diving, guests usually engage the services of dive shops in Davao City, and this can be arranged by the Resort staff on request.
