RESORT AND ACTIVITIES

 

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".

 

Rooms are essential, made of wood and wowed fibres panels; the roof is in cocoon, perfectly waterproof vegetable fibre, the floor in coconut bands. Each room, of about 20 square metres, has a double bed or twin beds, wardrobe, refrigerator and minibar with the relevant table. Furthermore it is available a gate-legged table, upholstered with anti-shock and anti-slide cover, equipped with professional lighting for care and maintenance of photo equipment, blade fan, hot and cold water services, patio with armchair and deckchair.

 

 

Rooms are 17, 12 of them double or twin. Five of them, the largest ones, can be made available for three persons (family arrangement). Some of the rooms have double level, all but one, have sea view and are placed in heightened bungalows, each one of two rooms.

For all guests are also available a sea facing bar restaurant, TV corner, billiard room, diving shop, solarium, ample garden. All the facilities are placed in a open air area under cocoon sheds.

   

 

Meals are a selection and a mix of local traditional food, made essentially of fish specialties, often combined with Italian gastronomic specialties of ever loved "pasta".  
Activity, as rule, is scheduled with a first boat dive after breakfast, return to the resort before lunchtime and relax, a second early afternoon dive and, unavoidable temptation, a third "night wall dive" rightly after sunset (around 6.30 pm) for a nocturnal all-colours event.Excursions are added "ad hoc" to the diving schedule or organized separately during the day. During the whole week guests will be taken to White Beach, a very long, solitary and untouched beach of fine coral white sand, where, while divers explore wide coral gardens, non divers enjoy an undisturbed relax and a swim in the blue sea.

 

Non divers are always welcomed in the boats during diving excursions, free of charge.

Usually boats wait for divers anchored to buoys, most of the times over coral gardens, in crystal clear waters, defended against strong streams. These ones are excellent spots for swimming and snorkelling.One more swimming and snorkelling good spot is exactly in front of the Resort. Down there, during high tide, rare marine biology forms can be easily admired.

 

Courtesy of the diving staff for the non divers is a short introduction course to underwater activity. At the end of it the new divers can try their first dive in the small underwater heaven in front of the Resort, in totally secure waters, at a depth of a few metres and under the dive master supervision.

Furthermore, for those who suddenly discovered a diving passion and consequently wish to carry on in the specific training, it is possible to complete in less than a week an open water course, at the end of which an open water license is obtainable. It is also possible to have an advanced open water course with only 4 days available.

 

  

Another remarkable and very popular “activity”, most appreciated by all ladies, is to enjoy, even daily, nice relaxing, regenerating, low cost massages.
