As part of our itinerary, after attending mass,we included Eden Nature Park for lunch and availed of their day tour package for P600/pax. Since all of us our first timer, we searched using google map during planning and it says 20-30mins and we were quite surprised since its an hour and half travel from our hotel. We started our travel at 11, reached Eden Nature Park aound 1:30pm. had lunch for 40min and tour for an hour. we reached Davao Downtown to buy pasalubong at around 5pm.

Upon arrival, we immediately went to have our lunch. I like how the resto looks like. Food choices are good. The taste is nothing exceptional but what got the approval from our guests is the vegetables. It’s Organic and harvested from their garden. Nice! 🙂

Megaworld International North America 1 Regional Planning Conference @ Park Inn by Radisson Davao

Another year has passed and for this year’s Regional Meeting destination: Davao and Boracay.

PHLPIDV-Hotel-2013

We stayed at Park Inn by Radisson during our 3 day stay in Davao. It was conveniently located near the airport approx 15-20min on a 30 mph bus speed. It was my first time in Davao and I was so amazed by the cleanliness of the place. I mean I came from Puerto Princesa City and I’m used to seeing a clean lay back city but what sets Davao ahead of my place is the modernization that we lack. Personally for me, I feel like its Palawan and Cebu put together.

Back to Park Inn, the hotel was chosen because of the proximity to Megaworld’s Development. It has an overall hip and vibrant look. It’s also near the SMX Convention Center and with a connecting bridge to Sm Lanang. The room (standard) that we had though is a bit small but comfortable. The staffs are awesome. They are very accommodating and helpful in so many ways.

Overall, it was a very nice experience for all of us and worth recommending.
