Emars Wavepool Davao City




It's already summer here in Philippines and it is really hot plus the electricity interruption makes me feel like I am living in hell in order to refresh myself I decided to go to Samal Island and enjoy myself in the beach however I was having hard time to choose which beach resort I will stay, good thing I remember Emars Wavepool the first wavepool in Davao City which is located just 5-10 minutes away from my house.


I been here last 2010  and it was a memorable experience that is why I am so excited to be back here again.

Below is one of my photo way back 2010. The quality of my cam is really bad xD



Last Sunday we went to Emars wavepool to have our first summer escapade. Emars Wavepool is a great place for families and friends. Children will enjoy the design of the pool and its mini slide. They have two pools one is a wavepool and the other is infinite pool. The maximum depth of the pool is 5 ft but will reach up to 7 ft if the wave is active.  They have free life jacket and lifeguard around the pool area so you will feel safe for yourself and for your children.

We arrived in Emars at 2:00 pm because that is the check in time. We changed our clothes and went to the pool, though I already expected that there will be a lot of people since it is summer and it is really hot but I didn't know it would exceed my imagination both pool is full of people.  Well it didn't stop me to enjoy the pool!


This picture didn't justify how many people were there.


The pool opens at 9:00 am to 9:00 pm so the next day at exactly 9:00 am I went to the pool and there were no other people so I took the chance to take photos and swim after. The waves will be activated starting at 11:00 am approximately 20-25 minutes and has a gap of 1 hour for every time it is activated.

Aside from pool they also have KTV rooms, souvenir shop, restaurant and rooms for those who want to stay overnight. FYI no overnight stay in the pool.  There are different reception for those who will just stay day tour and for those who will be staying overnight.

Cavanico Il Mare Beach Resort Samal!




This will be my first post in 2016. I just realized that it is already April and I haven't post the places and restaurants I been to. I was so busy with my other hobby which is Procrastinating. XD
My first post will be about my first beach outing this year. A Valentine get away! 


Every time I search for a beach resort in Samal Island I always see Cavanico Il Mare in the choices but I just always ignore it because the photo of their beach looks small to me and I don't like beach with a very small sea shore. One day I came across the facebook page of Cavanico Il Mare and saw their post of their newly made pool and it was really a nice pool. That made me decide that I will go there. I chatted them for inquiry and they replied very quick. I texted them for reservation and I received a quick reply.


When we were heading to the resort I was kinda nervous because prior to that day  I saw bad reviews about the resort but when we arrived It wasn't that bad actually the beach was really good. It was spacious, wide, clean and the sand was so white and fine. I can see that they updated their resort just recently and the updates made the resort better and more attractive. This resort is very promising!


Below are the photos in the beach area.

The pool was beautifully made, the cottages and chair in the pool area were very artistic. This is the best pool I have seen in Samal which is very affordable.







There is no place for boredom in this resort for they offer lots of water activities. I enjoyed the live band and the fire dance while eating my dinner. They even have zumba session in the morning.






Cavanico has lots of rooms which is the exterior design is made of bamboo. It was well made and very comfy.

The pool is kinda small and I think 1 group of people will just fit in there. The pool will look very crowded with 2 groups of people.
