Hof Gorei Beach Resort


Hof Gorei Beach Resort is a beautifully landscaped resort in a tropical themed setting nestled in a quiet and secluded hillside terrain of lush foliage southwest of Samal Island. The Resort got its unique name from a picturesque, small dairy farm in the Alps of Salzburg, Austria. What started as a mere hideaway for the owners of the Resort, the Kroelle family, with only a few nipa huts intended for close friends of the family, eventually transformed it into an exclusive beach resort for travelers and tourists.

Since then, the resort has become one of the popular destinations for water sport activities such as, scuba diving, snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking, banana boat rides, para-sailing, beach volleyball, island cruises, sightseeing tours, and even fish feeding at the floating wharf. There are also board games such as chess, scrabble, or darts which are available upon request.

    1. I am so sorry for the late reply to your inquiry as it is only now that I have the opportunity to check my blog. Please forgive my inadequacy of being unable to satisfy the purpose of your query as I am not certain at this time if Hof Gorei Beach Resort provides children access to their facilities for free. Perhaps you may want to check their current rates on their website, http://www.hofgorei-resortdavao.com./?page=rates

      Thank you.
