Sampaguita Resort is made of simple traditionally styled bungalows, in total harmony with the surrounding environment, plus an Italian touch due to the presence of Sergio Forti, diving instructor, who, few years ago, choose to settle down definitely in the simplicity of this secluded corner of the globe.

The environment is friendly, relaxed and casual. It is practically impossible to be left on your own, without making friends with other guests, many of them already at the second or even third "return to Sampaguita".

Our location is south of China and Taiwan, north of Malayan Borneo and Sulawesi Islands, among Southern Chinese Sea, Sulu Sea, Celebes and Philippines Sea. The place lies where Indian and Pacific Ocean mix, in the heart of Philippines archipelago (made of 7107 islands known as Smile Islands) and Visayas Islands.

The Resort is located along the southwestern coast of Cebu Island (called South Sea Pearl), in Tongo Point, lucky spot in the Moalboal promontory, facing Negros Island, in Badian bay, surrounded from a tropical garden, shadowed by gigantic palms, rustling in the marine breeze, lapped from crystal waters.

Sampaguita Resort is geographically placed 9 degrees north of Equator, 123 degrees east of Greenwhich meridien; it is a small private heaven for those who appreciate sea, nature, good cooking, deep diving and nice company. The best period for a holiday runs, as mentioned in touristic guide-books, from March through September, however, given the Sampaguita unique position in Moalboal area, that makes it sheltered by atmosferic disturbances and strong winds, whatever their origin may be, the remaining months are nearly as good and sunny days are the rule; even during the July-September rainy season in Moalboal wheather is stable and it is exceptional to give up even only one diving session.
