The welcome drinks were served at the first floor of the Parola bar. Room keys were then distributed after the resort orientation.The Samal Suite rooms are two-storey Muslim inspired cottages.

Happy Hours indeed!Meet Charlie, Pearl Farm Resort’s mascot. Each order of Clearwater, a cocktail inclusive of vodka, clear soda, and lime is eligible to have a free Charlie stuffed toy. Note that clearwater is not part of the happy hour discountStaying at Pearl Farm Beach Resort was an incredible experience. The resort has excellent customer service, superb amenities, and has left some of the island’s natural beauty untouched. We were already missing Pearl Farm Beach Resort as soon as we got back to Manila.
