    I'll be there from Wednesday til Sunday. Work at Waterfront, stay at Microtel.

    Is there a night life in Davao? Any interesting thing to do?

    Totoo bang walang cable TV after midnight?

    As I don't have a car there, how do I move around? Ok ba taxi service?

    Thanks!

    Taxi service is reliable and honest per my experience.

    There's places like Jack's Ridge (overlooking view), buhay pa ba yung The Venue (or something like that) and Matina Town Square? Pwede ka rin mag side trip to Paradise Island, Eden Nature resort, etc.

    Was in Davao 7 years ago. Stayed at the Grand Men Seng Hotel. What I remember most about Davao is the feeling of security. We felt safe even at night walking the streets.

    As posted above, cab drivers are quite honest. Takot kasi sila kay Duterte kung mang-gagantso sila. Medyo boring nga yata ang night life, although we didn't get to tour much during night-time.

    if you like water spa, go to Metrolifestyle Bahia(?) Spa. this is along Torres St.

    It is along Torres St. too that you'll get to see lots of restaurants to choose from.

    for night life, you have Matina Town Square. there are new nightspots near your hotel too.

    i don't know if they still have non-aircon taxi, mas maraming gusto sumakay nito kasi 1 peso lang ang patak, while aircon 3. binabalik ng driver yung sukli. unlike in Manila, na kahit 30 pesos, gusto pang maging tip mo sa kanila mabaho naman yung taxi.

    Eden...if you like to go trekking and eat foods from organic produce. Jack's Ridge...marami din bars dun. Samal Island, masarap din kumain dun.

    one good thing about davao, di sila madamot sa wifi. free. order lang requirement nila para kumita naman sila.

    like the above posters, i soooo like Davao. i like the discipline. enjoy!

    Just got back and had a great time. Our party was booked in different hotels (Microtel, Grand Regal, Pinnacle). I got Pinnacle. It's a new hotel and the facilities are great but the service leaves a lot to be desired (and I'm not a demanding customer). I emailed them about it and the email just bounced back. Wow.

    Visited Eden nature park. Not really my kind of thing but it was nice. What wasn't nice is that our sponsor booked this place for a big dinner and the place could not keep up. Naubos ang mga tables, nawalan ng food, etc. Frankly, sana nag Big Mac na lang ako sa McDo instead of travelling all the way there.

    Jack's ridge was nice. Had coffee at Karlo cafe.

    The city itself was nice. I just like to go shopping and Gaisano Mall, SM Davao, and the numerous smaller shops that dot the city did not disappoint. Did not get to visit Robinsons and Victoria Mall.

    On the automotive front, ANG DAMING TOYOTA! And ang daming Toyota Land Cruiser sa Davao. It's getting to be my favorite city. hahaha. Dami din ex Korean vehicles like Korando and those Samsung badged Nissan Cefiros and Teanas.

    maganda talaga ang davao city. it's got a cosmopolitan lifestyle coupled w/ the quaintness of the laid back attitude of provincial life. too bad mindanao has a bad rep and d.c. is also being somewhat affected by that perception problem. if it weren't for that, i'd reckon d.c. would be mentioned in the same breath as cebu city

    A couple of weeks after you left, the Ayala Mall in Davao opened. It's called Abreeza and I'm sure you would like it, the next time you're around.

    Ayala and Floirendo team up for Davao

    One reason why Toyota rules here in Davao is because it has a proven reputation of reliability and dependability across the rough and varied terrains in Mindanao. In short, subok na talaga.

    Tama ka bro. Even in CDO, the Toyota dealership is poor in warranty claims, repair works, preventive maintenance jobs.
