It's been a while. Sana makabalik ako next year. I miss Davao. Let me know kelan ang next trip nyo dun. You might wana go to Mati! I think 4 hours away. It's a surf spot din. You can ride a van from victoria mall.

yeah parang 40-60 mins yung byahe. I also like the crocodile park which I think magugustuhan ng kids. Or magboat kayo to Samal Island. Natuwa naman ako sa Blue Jazz resort. Yun yung parang unang resort dun eh. malapit lang

Hi sisses!

We will be flying to Davao on Nov. 30-Dec. 2 pero sobrang bilis lang namin, kasi umaga kami ng Nov 30 dating ng Davao, then umaga ng dec 2 ang uwi ng manila. parang 2 whole day lang kami sa Davao. Kaya napag decide-an namin na mag city tour nalang and Water Rafting =D

Nag back read na din ako ng konti, hehe! kaya meron pakong ibang questions, sana may maka sagot =D

1. Bale 5 pax kami, meron paba kayong ibang suggestion na accommodation kahit yung mga Inn na good for 5 pax. Then yung malamig naman ang AC, may sariling CR at malinis naman? Sana yung 1.5K max per night. Sana din pala yung accessible sa lahat =)

2. Re naman sa water rafting, worried kasi ako, maeenjoy ko ba yun kung wala akong eyeglasses? lol! super labo kasi ng mata ko, and siyempre kung ayaw ko mawala yung eyeglasses ko eh di ko siya dapat suotin nun. Kaso baka mamaya maging dahilan pa yun dahil di ako makakita ng maayos eh kung san ako bumangga bangga etc. XD though meron naman akong goggles na may prescription, keri na ba yun? May instance ba talaga na di tataob yung raft nyo? Yung mga ibangkasama ko kasi feeling ko baka maging panicky sila makainom ng madaming tubig etc. hayyy! kung ano anong naiisip ko. lol!

lastly...

3. Yung sa city tour naman, anong ok na spots puntahan? adults naman kami lahat. Then ok padin ba yung service ni kuya joey? siya padin ba yung pinaka mababa ang bigay?

Ayun, thanks sisses sa mga sasagot! =D

@Eggpudding

sis, i recommend Royale House. affordable sya at ok yung stay namin sa kanila.

re: water rafting, yung hubby ko at yung ibang kasama namin sa boat na pinoy family sila (dad and 3 kids) pero Aussie based na, lahat mga naka-shades na nilagyan ng tali bigay ng taga-DWA. nahulog kami pero hindi naman nawala yung mga shades nila :)

Thanks sis for the reply! =D

Actually ganun nga din nasa isip ko, papagawa ako ng eyeglasses na plastic lang, then lagyan ng tali, para in case mawala ok lang =D

i highly recommend din ang royale house sis eggpuding...we were there last july 2013. i inquired through email lang with ms. cherilyn and she is very accomodating. she responds quickly. about naman sa place...maayos naman ang rooms nila..and tahimik...malamig ang aircon nila sis and malinis din ang bathroom...accomodationg din ang mga staffs nila.

we didn't try the water rafting kasi mga jutanders kasama ko. hehe. sa city tour we hired a van from KFL-Mile transport and tours...contact person ko si sir Marvin...sabhin mo lang sa  knya kung saan mga gusto niyong puntahan and he will make an itenirary for you.

yung pasalubong sa Apo ni Lola is mas mahal kesa sa ibang brands pero masarap yung candies nila. parang 3 for 100 ata yung rate. tapos yung isang bar ng choco durian et. al is 35php

Mejo mahal rin dun sa Pasalubong Center. Actually di ko maalala kung san yung mura. haha

^ haha ang cute mo sis! memory gap/ confused lang ang peg. :) Thanks for the tip na din! :) so far sa naresearch ko, sa Aldevinco and sa Bankerohan Market daw mura. Overpriced nga daw sa Pasalubong Center.

And nagpareserve na din ako ng Economy Room sa The Royale House, may Halloween promo sila kaya from P1000, i got it for P700/night na lang.

More tips and suggestions (things to do, places to visit, restaurants) please! :)

meron bang good for 5 pax sa Royale House? Kasi sa ngayon sa Green Windows Dormitel kami, nasa 1800 per night. Good for 6 Pax yun, then puro positive reviews pa.

Eggpudding:
Good reviews nga sa Green Windows Dormitel. You might want to look into the following hotels/inns din:

1. D'Morvie Suites - newly opened lang daw along CM recto. they have a promo of P500/night
2. Hotel Uno - opened in 2012; budget accommodation ok naman daw
3. The Royale House - inquire if they have promo on those dates (ang laki kasi ng discount nila; for halloween promo, naka-50% off ang deluxe rooms nila, 30% off for economy rooms).

Baka pwede magrequest ng extra bed na lang para accommodate lahat sa 1 room lang, para tipid :)

Baka kapusin kayo sa oras? check nyo din yung ferry schedule to/from Samal to be sure. And dapat strict kayo sa oras, baka kasi mapasarap stay nyo sa Samal. :)

^Sis. haha inaalala ko pero kasi parang sa Apo ni Lola lang ako bumili tapos yung mga nadaanan lang na nagtitinda sa gilid ng Aldevinco. Puro mga candy lang kasi binili ko.

And nung pumunta kami ng Watefront Insular kasi convention yun, may mga stall na rin dun na nagbebenta ng mga handicrafts. Nakabili ako ng long wallets 10 pieces for 220-250php lang. Di ko na rin maalala exact amount. haha  ???
