My new FAVORITE RESORT! Drinker Friendly, Pinoy Food fanatics place and Beach Lovers paradise!”
Pros: -Beer was 70PHP -Bar is open 24/7 -You have your own person in charge of all your needs (Literally) -Beach floor is really sandy when hightide, no sea urchins nor big rocks (3PM onwards) -Have their own pool which has salt water (Still like swimming on the beach) -Food is really good and cheap! (I recommend their Pinakbet, Sisig and Lechon Kawali) -Place is really nice, no need to worry about the sun because the whole resort is shaded with trees -Rooms are super clean, good interior and spacious (Their bed gave me hard time to enjoy the resort) -Super near to the airport and seaport (Could be at the resort 1 HR or less from Davao Intl Airport) -Experienced electricity blackout for less than 5 minutes (The resort has their own generator) Cons: -Not good for senior citizens because there are a lot of stairs -No other cuisine (All Filipino food) -Low tide in the morning till afternoon (All in Samal Island is like that though)

Perfect!”
We really enjoyed our stay at Chema’s. Perfect resort at Samal Island. The resort is only 5-10 min boat ride from Waterfront Insular hotel (Davao City). The location is perfect! It’s easy to locate. We also enjoyed their food especially the halo halo. They will assign 1 staff who will assist you during your stay. If you are planning to go to Talicud Island, I suggest you go back to Waterfront Insular hotel ride a taxi going to Sta.Ana Wharf then take their public transport boat instead of renting a boat from Kaputian Island. That’s the cheapest way. But if money is not an issue you just have to ask their staff to find you a multicab or habal habal going to Kaputian Island.

Excellent stay”
Pros: place was great, room was ok, service of ate (omg, forgot her name) was really great. Unique way of calling ate, who's assigned to our room. Food was great, reasonable price. Very relaxing to spend your holiday or weekend. Oh, I forgot my phone at the room and they were nice to bring my phone to us(kuya boat ride) at the port Cons: no sleepers, no mosquito lights, so not advisable to stay at the veranda at night, unless there was a fan, though Ate gave us the next day. Port was kinda far, coming from the entrance of Waterfront Resort, be sure to have umbrella or hat during the mid day.

Perfect for honeymooners who want privacy”
I booked a room at Chema's for my parents who are both seniors and they loved their stay! I asked them if there's anything they want to comment on for the management to improve and they couldn't think of anything negative to say.. just praises for this little paradise in Samal Island. They were placed in a room with a balcony facing the beachfront. My mom loved the intricate details of the room. I was here years ago and my friends and I met the owner. Thanks to the attentive staff for taking care of my parents during their stay. :) Will visit this place again in the future!

Exceptional”
The ambience and staff were great. The beachfront was clean and the sand was white. Other than the difficult accessibility by land (the road going to the resort from the main street was rough; although travel by boat is available) and small food serving, everything was exceptional. The place was definitely relaxing and quiet. I just wish there was wider seafood choices. Everyone enjoyed and loved Chema's! .

Awesome serene place”
The hotel is superb! Balinese type with the Filipino hospitality of staff. They are all accommodating and courteous. The facilities - rooms, pool, bar, beach are awesome and the villas are exceptional!!! Just want to share to everyone though that the food's serving is small, if you are big on food, you may need to add more to your budget. Nevertheless, this hotel is the best for us by far and will surely go back here :)

The place is very peaceful, relaxing and superb beach view. ”
This place is very commendable as you will find it very quiet and peaceful. You’ll feel very close to nature. Their beach front is small but very enjoyable as it feels so private. Food taste good and price is reasonable. Their staff is very accomodating and energetic. Highly recommended, we’ll definitely come back to Chemas

Cozy resort”
We were very happy to have chosen this resort, it met our expectations of a homey resort that is to our liking. Their food are delicious and the price is what is expected from a resort. Their staff are very accommodating and courteous. We liked the concept of using a "bell" to call for service and a staff assigned to our room for service. The place gets "full" during the day tour hours but we did not mind because we head to the beach during the early morning and late afternoon hours when the day tour visitors had gone home or has yet to arrive. Even with the day tour guests, the place does not feel full and packed. The only let down was there were insects in the rooms but we should have asked the staff to "disinfect" the room. Overall it was a very homey and pleasant experience and we will definitely visit this resort when we are in town (Davao).

Great experience! ”
Chemas By the bay was in an optimal location. If you want to go to Davao, you can just inform the staff and you'll be there within 15 minutes. There is one staff dedicated for each room, which made experience even more enjoyable.

Best spot in Samal”
Nature spot and resort in one. Bali feels, great beachfront, lovely sunset view with Davao City on the horizon, subtle glow at night. Best on a weekday as there's less people.

Relaxing your brain, body and soul in an place with your family”
Lovely people ready to serve you at your room. Amazing place with nice facilities and a beach for you. You can see refs and fishes in a light blue ocean. You can eat nice Filipino food and have a massage to relax your body. The sunset is a paradise view to reflect about yourself. Only suggestion is that transfer to resort would be more clear at time you book as they have a boat connecting Davao mainland to Samal Islsnd.

Good service and value for money”
The best chemas has to offer is its relative privacy and quiet since they do not accept too many guests to maintain its quiet and tranquil atmosphere

Perfect place to relax”
It's where you go to relax. No distractions like karaoke, billiards, etc. Staff are friendly. Rooms are few so youd feel like you exclusively booked the place for you.
