Fun for the Family

“Samkara is a fantastic place for families. We had the option to dine in a private kubo near the pool, which allowed the kids to play and explore freely.

I visited the resort for a birthday celebration, and while the location was absolutely gorgeous with ducks and fish making it very Instagram-worthy, the experience was mixed. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but they definitely need more training as they struggled during service. The food had its highlights, especially the harvest salad and pancit lucban, but some dishes fell short, like the Pizza Margherita. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance, but there are improvements needed in service and menu selections.

We celebrated my father-in-law's birthday at the hotel restaurant, and while the staff were accommodating and the setting was picturesque, the dining experience fell short of expectations. The pizza I ordered was disappointing, but I did enjoy the harvest salad and pancit lucban. On the plus side, the location by the water was lovely for photos. However, the lack of prompt service and dessert options left something to be desired.

We visited the hotel to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday, and while the location was truly lovely with ducks and fish, the dining experience left much to be desired. The staff was friendly and tried their best, but there were noticeable gaps in their training. The food ranged from decent to disappointing, particularly the Pizza Margherita. Overall, the setting was beautiful and Instagram-worthy, but some attention to detail in the dining could elevate the experience significantly.

We celebrated my father-in-law's birthday at the hotel's restaurant, and while the staff was accommodating, they need more training. The pizza options were underwhelming, but I did enjoy the harvest salad and pancit lucban. It took a while to get the bill, but the location has a lovely atmosphere with ducks and fishes. It would be nice if they offered cakes for birthdays in the future.

The pizza options were quite underwhelming, but I really enjoyed the harvest salad and pancit lucban. The experience was hampered by a long wait for the bill. On the plus side, the location by the water is beautiful and definitely Instagram-worthy. I'd love to see them add small cakes for birthdays in the future.
