The pool is not heated so a bit uncomfortable at first, and the pool dinning is a very nice atmosphere, watch out for the pricing tho 110 peso for a soda ouch! This hotel has 8 floors with a gym and very comfortable rooms nicely equipped, standard room comes with a couch that coverts into a bed, and a desk, refrigerator, safe, and very nice accented lighting. The shower has a waterfall shower-head installed a very nice touch of class. You will most likely be satisfied with all mentioned I give it four stars. Ray

A Quaint, Comfortable Stay in the Heart of Davao…read more If you're looking for a cozy and affordable boutique hotel in Davao that doesn't feel like a generic business chain, The Bourke is a solid choice. The hotel has a warm, charming vibe, small and personal. The reception area is simple but inviting, and the front desk team was very accommodating. A small touch I liked: they had chocolate cake and a red velvet square displayed as welcome treats when I got to my room. The room was surprisingly spacious. Ours had a big comfortable bed, a large dresser with a mirror, a work desk, and an open cabinet with shelves. There was also a coffee station and a fridge neatly tucked in on the side. The bathroom was clean and roomy, and all the essentials were thoughtfully in place. The TV was well-positioned, and while the hallways are open (not enclosed like in most hotels), the noise wasn't an issue at all, I slept soundly. The Bourke shares space with Bondi & Bourke, one of Davao's more well-known restaurants. Unfortunately, we arrived late and didn't get to try it this time, but I've heard good things and it's run by its owner and Australian chef who's hands-on with the place. Another restaurant nearby, MamaMita, also looked interesting. Overall, this place blends boutique comfort with good service and a reputable dining experience. Would definitely stay here again, ideally when I have time to eat on-site.

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.

By 1030am or 11am, we're ready to head home cause the tide would have gone down and the sun gets pretty hot. This place has a little of something for everyone to enjoy. For the water enthusiast, the beach and water sports will keep them busy. There's a playground for the kids. The aviary is a nice little walk to explore and enjoy. The kids love looking at the animals and learning what they look like and how they behave. There are cottages that can be rented for overnight stays. There are halls for big events. There's also entertainment on Saturday's for diners and beachcombers to enjoy. Food is good. Lots of Filipino dishes to enjoy. Don't worry if you forgot something, they have a well-stocked mini mart that offers a variety of things. Note: The entrance fee has gone up and become cost prohibitive for a regular visit. But it's still worth going once in a while.

It has a resto-bar and cake shop within the same complex. Making it easy to get food if in case you get hungry. There's also a Korean salon, which is perfect to get some pampering done while on vacation. The room prices are very reasonable. The rooms are not fancy, but you get good value: clean, functional and comfortable. I especially like the sheets. They're very comfortable. The duvet feels snug, as it someone is snuggling me while I sleep. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The front lobby receptionist very efficient. Checking in was a breeze. We got immediate help when we needed assistance with our sink and needed extra supplies. Overall, I think it's a great place to get good sleeping accommodation without the fuss.

My extended family of nine enjoyed a two-night, three-day stay at Pearl Farm Beach Resort. I had…read morevisited over ten years ago with my family when they still offered day passes, and I loved it then. This time, we booked Villa 5 on Malipano Island. Malipano Island is a private island located just across from the main island and is accessible by a short boat ride. It features three or more villas, at least two private beaches, a public pool, as well as its own dining area and bar for guests staying on Malipano Island. If you book a villa on Malipano Island, you have access to the main island. However, if you book accommodations on the main island, you have little to no access to Malipano Island. Our villa featured a spacious open-air living room with stunning views of the beach/ocean, three bedrooms with a total of five beds, three full bathrooms, and one half bath. While I appreciate the open-air concept of the living room, we mostly stayed in our bedrooms to keep cool and avoid mosquitoes. During the day, we were either out on the beach or at one of the resort's many pools. Kayaks and paddle boards were available and included in our package. The grounds are beautiful, clean, and well kept for the most part. However, during low tide, you can see the trash on the beach, which turned us off. I actually didn't get in the water during low tide for fear of getting a skin reaction or getting sick. The food is excellent at both islands. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served buffet-style featuring a wide variety of traditional Filipino food options from meat to seafood to veggies. The service is impeccable. Every staff member we encountered was super friendly and helpful. I would still recommend Pearl Farm. Just keep an eye out for trash on the water during low tide.

The water was so clear and pristine. The boat ride from Davao to Pearl Farm is about 45 minutes. We were lucky because the weather was perfect when we went and the waters were not choppy. We stayed for one night in the Malipano Villa, located on Malipano Island which is a short boat ride from the main resort. The private island consists of seven ocean front villas and has its own beach and swimming pool. There was also a restaurant, but it wasn't open unfortunately. There was only one other family staying at the time so it was super quiet. You can literally hear the waves and birds chirping from your bedroom. It was a bit disappointing as the villa was a bit run down for the price we paid (minus one star). I definitely think it would benefit from a renovation. When you walk in to the villa, your eyes are greeted to a fully open lanai with a beautiful ocean front view. The lanai had a seating and dining area. I didn't care too much for the open lanai because it invited critters in to our villa so we had to make sure all of our doors were closed. The master suite with king bed and second guest bedroom with two twin beds were on the first floor, a spa bathroom on the second floor, and a third bedroom with three twin beds on the third floor. The spiral stairs were very narrow and it was difficult bringing luggage upstairs. I believe the villa can accommodate up to eight guests. I appreciated the cold a/c in all of the bedrooms and the filtered water dispenser. All of the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. There are different water activities available at a cost. My family opted to do jet skiing and had a lot of fun. The lunch and dinner buffets were okay (traditional Filipino food). Their dining area is open and birds kept flying in to peck at the bread during lunch. There were also fruit flies on the fruit. They should do a better job and keep the food covered. We enjoyed the snacks and cocktails served during appetizer hour. We opted to have breakfast delivered to our villa and the food was good. We especially enjoyed the sikwate (hot chocolate) that I dipped my pandesal in. Upon check out, we were charged 400 pesos (almost $8 USD!!) for a small can of Pringles that was in the room next to the bed stand of the master suite. Mind you that was the only snack in the villa so I thought it was complementary. Ridiculously expensive! All in all, I'm glad we had the opportunity to stay at Pearl Farm. This would be the place to stay if you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy beautiful ocean views.
