This is a regular place for family and friends to hang out or celebrate special occasions. The…read moreplace has a variety of activities to choose from: karaoke in an exclusive room; drinks by the sea; birthday and wedding celebrations in a function room; weekend getaway by the beach. This is a hidden treasure residing by the coastal road at Matina Aplaya. The resort serves Filipino and Western cuisine and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. I especially love their bulalo steak! The beef shank is still attached to the bone, which is oozing with warm bone marrow. I love sinking my teeth into the tender meat. It's a great place to enjoy a relaxing day by the sea.

We visited this place to get a good view of My Apo. Unfortunately, it was too foggy to see. But we…read morehad a great time exploring around this resort by enjoying the banana plantation view and the 360 degrees of pure serenity on the mountain top. This is a great place to spend the night and enjoy the cool and quiet ambience that My. Apo offers to it's visitors. There are reasonably priced cottages that offer the breathtaking view of the valley in front of the resort. There's a full-service restaurant that provides Filipino food. Diners can enjoy their meal while appreciating the rich vegetation around the area from the floor to ceiling glass windows. Just across the resort is the Kublai Art Garden. It has a children's playground plus a myriad of photo opportunities to it's visitors. This a must go for locals and tourists.

The beach was absolutely disgusting, trash everywhere. The restaurant? Slow, and bland. The pool…read morewas filled with disgusting little bugs. The "cottage" was extremely small with no furniture but a bed and table! The drawers of the table were filled with trash! Not to mention the handles table were broken off! Who made this place?!?!? Not to mention the cottage doors had a tiny lock! The lady at to the pool wouldn't even let me come in to watch my kids even when I told her I wouldn't swim! She claimed it wasn't allowed to do that and forced me to pay! When I asked her why she said that's just how it is here! Never coming back here again! Also don't buy from the restaurant options are limited to Americans and take too long to arrive!

One of the oldest and most well known resort in town…read more A little bit of history, it used to be called villa Victoria then sold to the new owner its renamed as Mergrande. As far as I know its been around for over 25 years. The resort improve slower than it should. The good thing about this resort is its large area they have a pool,reception,cottage,apartments,restaurant. Just don't expect too much at the beach most of the coastline in the city is black sand you can only see white sand in Samal area or far away coastlines from the city district. The pricing is fine. There are still so much room for improvement though you can still enjoy your stay in this resort.

There's no dining here, except catering. This is about 1 km past Ursal Market. Gated entrance,…read more just have to sign in. I arrived on a Monday evening. There was a pool party going. The area is big enough for around 70 guests. At the end of the driveway, there's what appears to be a cafeteria. Saw 15 or so people eating at the tables inside, downstairs. But, no kitchen or counter appeared to be open. Don't know what to make of this place. Definitely call ahead if plan to visit. Looks like there may be room rentals though.

Davao City is a city in Mindanao island, the largest city in the Philippines in terms of land area. This hotel is under a new management. It's a 3-star Hotel and Restaurant. They have table games and slot machines at the Casino. Our de-luxe room amenities: air-conditioned room and minibars. Flat screen TV and complimentary wireless Internet/Wi-Fi, Bath tub and complimentary toiletries. And the housekeeping is provided daily. Cleaned room everyday. Kiddos enjoyed the outdoor pool, but their nightclub and lounge was under renovation, bummer! Anyway, we enjoyed our everyday breakfast meal (free buffet for 2) at the Cafe/Restaurant Josefina with a beautiful lush garden. They have Top notch friendly and attentive waiters. I was treated like a Queen. I literally love the Filipino breakfast, desserts, fresh fruits juices, I love the yellow ripe mangoes and the pure hot chocolate and brewed coffee. Hotel also offers a round trip airport shuttle is provided for a surcharge and free self-parking is available. Highly recommend this hotel if you're a traveler visiting Davao City area. Decent price. This hotel is very safe and the City Government of Davao makes it a top priority to keep the city safe, secure and peaceful for everyone.

The place is found at a scenic location where you have a newly constructed road to pass by. At the…read moreview outside, you would be mistaken in seeing a small resort because the gate can only fit one vehicle at a time. It also has a foreign emblem that makes you wonder what it is that you find inside the resort. Upon entry to the lobby, you would see the gorgeous infinity pool. When I say gorgeous, I really mean absolutely stunning. At a perfect angle and on a windy day, there would be moments where the waves of the ocean would be in sync with the ripples found on the pool. It's obvious that the pool is the highlight of this resort given it is found in the middle (and the one closest to the villas, around 5 meters from the doorstep). The resort basically gives you two room types: a room in the multi-storey building (a minute's walk from the pool and another minute more from the shoreline) and a villa that is themed around a choice of different countries: Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and others. My choice was a Thai villa and it was great. Although, I was able to take a peek inside the Japan-themed villa later in the day when it was being cleaned and it looked really authentic (making me want to choose that one next time for sure). Customer service is top notch and staff is readily available to accommodate your every need. I will definitely be back!

Rain or Shine, Still Divine!…read more If Mother Nature ever had a manicure, she probably went to Eden Nature Park. I came here with my brother and was honestly shooketh at how beautifully maintained this place is -- every tree, leaf, and blade of grass seems to have signed an NDA for perfection. It was raining cats, dogs, and probably a few frogs when we toured, yet the place still looked postcard-worthy. Hats off to whoever maintains this park -- because even in the downpour, it felt like we were walking through a live-action screensaver. Sadly, the Mangosteen and fruit trees decided to take a "personal year" and didn't bear fruit, but honestly, with all that lush greenery, I wasn't mad. Plus, we got to peek inside their greenhouse where they grow the veggies for Vista Restaurant, their farm-to-table buffet spot. Everything's organic -- which made me feel better about eating my third plate. For the thrill-seekers, there's Skypark, where you can ride a bike in the sky (secured by harnesses, don't worry) or go full hamster-mode in a giant metal cage that rolls you across platforms. I was this close to buying a ticket, but then the sky turned into a lightning rave. And look, I'm adventurous -- but not "electrocuted in midair while pretending to be a hamster" adventurous. Overall, I absolutely love Eden Nature Park -- the staff is nothing short of amazing and the place itself is next to magnificent. There are several stops in the tour, and every single one was a delight. Rain or shine, it's the kind of place that just fills your soul with peace (and your phone with photos). I highly, highly recommend coming here if you ever find yourself in this part of the Philippines. You'll leave refreshed, happy, and probably plotting your next visit before you even exit the gate.

My kids like their playgrounds and finishing area (no one goes empty handed). I like the ambience and the breath of fresh air. They are situated on a high altitude and are surrounded by trees and many plants. The garden has been developed to become a resort for day and overnight visitors. I also like their food, especially the salad bar. They grow their own vegetables. They taste fresh and delicious!
