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!

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.
