Getting The Best Out Of Davao Hotels, Shopping, And Dining

One of the best ways to experience Davao City is on foot. Once you step out of your Davao hotel, your sneakers and your wallet are basically what you need to enjoy this exotic place. This is one of the reasons why backpackers keep coming back again and again. There’s no need to worry about you getting lost, because you can always ride a jeep or hail a cab, better yet- ask! Davaoenos are the warmest and friendliest people on earth. After all, Filipinos are known worldwide for their hospitality.

Tips for a Great Shopping Experience

Aside from finding a cheap hotel in Davao, there are also lots of fun places to shop. Forget the malls for a while (there are numerous, by way), instead, hit the streets. Hit the stalls, the tiangge, and the bazaars where you can grab amazing finds.

When buying from an antiques dealer or street merchant, remember that cash is king, not plastic! So no credit card, guys.

Buy for the pleasure an item will give you, and not the long-term investment qualities the merchant may put emphasis on. Why? Because if you like it, you will never want to part with it.

Try things on as much as possible, and when you’re buying clothing for family and friends, make sure you bring their measurements with you, just to make sure they will absolutely fit.

Tips for a Great Dining Experience

If you want to make the most out of the best hotel in Davao and taste what they have to offer, that’s perfectly fine, but try not to miss out on the opportunity to try the city’s other exotic cuisines as well. For a first-timer, the world-famous Durian smells, well, out of the ordinary, but once you get past the smell, it’s really good, and a great aphrodisiac too! Fruits and seafoods are abundant, and relatively cheap, compared to other parts of the country. That’s why people from Manila and Cebu and other places never miss out on the chance of having to dig in on a sea foods buffet.

Looking for a Budget Hotel in Davao

There are so many things to do and places to explore, so you won’t need a very expensive hotel if you’ll hardly spend time in it. So try to find something that is reasonably priced that can still provide excellent quality service. While you’re at it, please come and visit the Apo View Hotel at Bonifacio St., Davao City. Your home away from home.
