Escape to Paradise: Bali Bali Beach Resort Awaits in Davao! - My Messy, Honest, and Surprisingly Wonderful Take
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a trip to Bali Bali Beach Resort in Davao and I’m ready to spill the tea (and maybe a little bit of the complimentary bottled water – which, by the way, was cold and fantastic). This isn't your sanitized, generic review. This is the real deal, the good, the bad (which was honestly minimal), and the "OMG, I need another massage" amazing.
First Things First: The Essentials (and the Stuff That Really Matters)
Let's get the boring stuff out of the way, shall we? This place is accessible. They've got elevators, and I spotted ramps. Now, I didn't test every single nook and cranny with a wheelchair (I'm not that thorough, people!), but it looks like they've put some thought into it. Accessibility is key, especially for those of us who appreciate a resort that doesn't require scaling Mount Everest just to get to the pool.
And speaking of the pool… Swimming pool [outdoor]? Check and check! Seriously, picture this: lush greenery, the gentle hum of the ocean, and a pool that beckons you to just… float. They also have a Pool with view, which elevates the whole experience. I spent an embarrassing amount of time just gazing out at the sea, letting all my worries melt away. Seriously, my blood pressure dropped just thinking about it.
Cleanliness and Safety – Because 2024 is a Vibe, Right?
Okay, so I'm a bit of a germaphobe, even before the pandemic. So, I was thrilled to see they prioritize cleanliness and safety. They’ve got Anti-viral cleaning products being used, and I saw the staff Daily disinfection in common areas. Hand sanitizer stations? Abundant. Staff trained in safety protocol? Checked. Plus, the option for Room sanitization opt-out available, which is a nice touch. They know their audience.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Stomach's Very Happy Opinion)
Forget those bland hotel buffets! Bali Bali dives deep into the culinary scene. The Restaurants are plentiful, offering everything from Asian cuisine to International cuisine. The Breakfast [buffet] was seriously impressive. Think mountains of fresh fruit, crispy bacon (yay!), and an omelet station where you could basically design your own culinary masterpiece. They do have a Vegetarian restaurant, which is a major plus. Happy hour? You betcha! Poolside bar? Yes, please! I had a particularly memorable cocktail poolside – a 'Davao Delight', which was essentially sunshine in a glass. Seriously, I’m still dreaming about it!
They provide Breakfast in room and Breakfast takeaway service if you prefer a more private experience. They also offer Bottle of water (free!), and a Coffee shop. The food in the restaurant was great, and they offer A la carte in restaurant for those who want more choices. Desserts in restaurant? YES. Salad in restaurant? YES. Soup in restaurant? YES! They also have a Snack bar. I didn’t get to try them all, but I can tell you, there was enough variety to keep even the most discerning foodie happy. They even offered Alternative meal arrangement if needed.
Relaxation Station: My Deep Dive Into Bliss
Okay, this is where Bali Bali truly shines. This place is designed for relaxation, and I mean serious relaxation.
- Massage: One of the most fantastic experiences I have had in the resort. (I may have booked several of those). My muscles held onto their tension! The massages were the kind that makes you feel like you've shed a layer of stress.
- Spa: They also have a fantastic spa for anyone seeking out some zen.
- Sauna, Spa/sauna: The Sauna and Steamroom, I'm a sucker for those.
- Foot bath: You can even get a Foot bath, for all the aching feet you may experience.
- Body scrub and Body wrap: (And I am not ashamed to say), I lost track of how many treatments I indulged in. The Body scrub left my skin feeling like a baby's bottom, and the Body wrap made me feel like I was cocooned in pure bliss.
- Pool with view: I've already mentioned it, but seriously, just… go to the pool.
Things to Do (Besides Napping By The Pool - The Best Thing Ever!)
While I spent a significant amount of time horizontal, Bali Bali does offer other things to do. They have a Fitness center if you are feeling ambitious (I wasn't, but it looked well-equipped!).

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my chaotic, possibly-slightly-delusional Bali Beach Resort adventure in Davao City. This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed; this is the real, sweaty, slightly-sunburnt deal. Consider this my… journal entry.
Bali Beach Resort: Davao City - My Existential Beach Bumming Itinerary (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Seagrass)
Day 1: Arrival, Existential Dread, and the Great Noodle Debacle
- 1:00 PM: Land at Davao International Airport. Okay, first hurdle: surviving the airport. The humidity hits you like a wet blanket the second you step out. My shirt immediately clings to me, and I swear I can already feel the impending sunburn. Grab a cab (negotiate fiercely – apparently, "foreigner tax" is a thing).
- 2:00 PM: Check-in at Bali Beach Resort. The lobby? Gorgeous. That whole "Bali" vibe they're going for? Nailed it. The smell of frangipani is intoxicating. I’m instantly in a good mood. (Momentarily, at least, this is before the full day fatigue kicks in).
- 2:30 PM: Plunged into the pool. Ahhhhh, sweet, chlorinated relief. People-watching commences. Observe: a family attempting a synchronized swimming routine that devolves into a splashing free-for-all. My kind of people.
- 4:00 PM: Okay, beach time! The sand is… interesting. Not the pristine white I was picturing. More… golden-ish. And there's seaweed. Lots of seaweed. Am I disappointed? Maybe a little. But the ocean… the ocean is the color of a thousand sapphires, and the waves are whispering secrets I can't quite understand.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at the resort restaurant. Ordered the "signature" noodles. They arrive looking suspiciously like… instant ramen with a few sad shrimp. My inner food critic weeps. I eat them anyway. (I was starving, what can I say?).
- 7:00 PM: Sunset drinks. The sky is ablaze with color, and I'm nursing a cocktail that tastes mostly of sugar. Suddenly, I feel this overwhelming sense of… gratitude. I'm here. Alive. Surrounded by beauty. Even the seaweed seems less offensive.
- 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM: Stargazing with some locals. They have told me about the different constellations that are visible, especially the Southern Cross. We sat for hours, laughing and sharing stories. The sky feels so vast. This feels less like a vacation and more like a lesson book, a place to learn and appreciate.
- 9:00 PM: Bedtime. Exhausted. Content. Slightly disappointed in the noodles.
Day 2: The Great Island-Hopping Adventure and My Sea Sickness Saga
- 7:00 AM: Wake up with the sun! (or, more accurately, wake up because the air conditioner is now roaring like a jet engine). Coffee is essential.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel restaurant. This time, I'm braver. I go for the "local breakfast" - and am rewarded with a pile of delicious, fried bananas.
- 9:00 AM: Island hopping! We're off! Excitement! Sunscreen applied liberally. (Important lesson: reapply sunscreen. Constantly.)
- 9:30 AM: The boat ride commences and the sea begins to get a bit… choppy, that is the understatement of the year.
- 10:00 AM: This is when the nausea hits. Like a tidal wave of regret. Turns out, I am NOT a good sailor. Green faces all around. It's not pretty. The pristine white sand of the first island looks less appealing when you're contemplating losing your breakfast over it.
- 11:00 AM: We arrive at a beautiful island. The water IS crystal clear. The snorkeling IS amazing. I stumble onto the beach and promptly collapse, attempting to reacquire my sea legs by just… existing.
- 12:00 PM: A lunch and rest on the sand. The sea sickness is slowly wearing off.
- 2:00 PM: We head back. This time, I’m prepared with ginger candies and grim determination. The journey is rough. I spend most of the time trying not to think about food, or sea sickness. The islands we see again are even more awe-inspiring.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the resort. I stagger back to my room and collapse. Never, ever again. But damn, the islands were beautiful.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at the resort. Safe food only. (Seriously. Noodles are out. Forever.) Fried Chicken is the only option.
- 7:00 PM: Stumbling onto the beach. I have a book. I sit. I stare at the stars.
Day 3: The Poolside Rebirth and the Deep Dive into Chill
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. No more island hopping! Bless. Caffeine.
- 9:00 AM: Poolside therapy. Sunscreen is my best friend. I spend the morning reading by the pool. I watch the world go by. I do absolutely nothing of consequence.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. I am at risk to eat safe foods only! French fries.
- 1:00 PM: A massage! They've got a spa, and it's glorious. Knots untangled. Muscles soothed. My shoulders that had been tense from stress and seasickness start to relax.
- 3:00 PM: Stroll along the beach. The seaweed is still there, but I don’t care anymore. I breathe in the salty air and let the warmth of the sun seep into my skin.
- 5:00 PM: Sunset drinks. This time, I appreciate the sunset.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Fried rice. Not great, not terrible.
- 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM: Walking on the beach. I meet a local guy. He's so welcoming and kind.
- 9:00 PM: The final stare at the stars.
Day 4: Departure and the Lingering Taste of Seagrass (in a Good Way?)
- 7:00 AM: One last breakfast. I try the fruit salad. Surprisingly good!
- 8:00 AM: Pack. Reluctantly. Resort life is easy life.
- 9:00 AM: Check out. Goodbye, Bali Beach Resort! Goodbye, seaweed! Goodbye, (mostly) terrible noodles! I’m going to miss it.
- 10:00 AM: Airport. Flight. Goodbye Davao.
- 2:00 PM: Land back home and back into the chaos of everyday life.
So, there you have it. My messy, imperfect, sometimes-sick, occasionally-enlightening Bali Beach Resort experience. Would I go back? Absolutely. Because despite the seaweed, the noodles, the seasickness, and everything in between, it was undeniably… good.
