What Every Traveller Must Bring- Even When They’re Staying In The Best Hotel In Davao

Whether it’s peak season or off-season, it’s always a good time to come and visit Davao City. First-timers are always in awe, while regular visitors always find something to keep coming back for more. Indeed, you’ll never run out of exciting things to do and beautiful places to see.

But just like what any seasoned traveller will tell you, securing a good Davao hotel is always a good idea to make your stay even more enjoyable.  Fortunately, Davao hotels come in a wide variety to suit your individual budget and preference. But whether you plan to stay at the most luxurious accommodation, or prefer a budget hotel in Davao, you will find one thing in common: the warm and friendly service offered by the Davaoenos.

So, if you’re ready to pack your bags and book your flight, remember these travel essentials  because you’re definitely going to need them.

·         Travel light. Pick half as many clothes as you think you’re going to need and twice as much money. You’ll be happy you did.

·         Never leave your hotel without your sunglasses and a folding umbrella because the weather is always unpredictable. You go out and it’s sunny in the morning, the next thing you know it’s drizzling, and soon it will turn into heavy rain.

·         Have comfortable, well-broken-in shoes with you, especially if you plan to see the city by foot.

·         Forget bringing your gold, diamonds, gold bracelets, and other valuables with you. If you do need to bring something with you and you’re not wearing them, make sure you have them secured in your hotel’s safe. Never make the mistake of hiding it in your room because hotel thieves know every hiding place you can possibly think of.

·         Veteran travellers will also recommend you bring a first aid kit, a travel tool kit with a swiss knife, screwdriver, stapler, scotch tape, packing tape, and string. A flashlight with extra batteries will also come in handy in case of emergencies.

There you go. This travel essential list is not exhaustive but it’s best to keep it mind because it will definitely save you from a lot of trouble. If you’re still searching for a cheap hotel in Davao, please check out the Apo View Hotel- a place where luxury meets affordability.

Making your Health Care a Priority when Travelling to Davao City

Anybody who’s been to the Philippines will recommend Davao City as one of the country’s best travel destinations, along with Boracay, Baguio, Puerto Princessa, Palawan, Bohol, Tagaytay, and Cebu. But just like any other planned travel across the globe, there are important things to consider, and preparations to be made to ensure that you have a fun, safe, and pleasurable stay.

On Going through Davao Hotel Listings

Davao hotels can be found almost anywhere in the city. From the most expensive to a budget hotel in Davao, you will surely find something to suit your preference. As most seasoned travellers are well aware of, the most expensive is not necessarily the best, and in here, it may surprise you that the best hotel in Davao may be reasonably priced, and even gives discounts and promo packages when you ask for them. It is recommended however that you confirm your reservations especially during peak seasons like the Araw ng Dabaw in March and the Kadayawan Festival in August. At this time even Inns and Motels are fully booked.

Making your Health Care a Top Priority

During travels you normally imagine historical sights, endless beaches, exotic foods, romantic dinners. Rarely do you think about kidney stones, appendicitis, lost baggage, theft, hospital fees, or emergency evacuations due to earth quakes, flooding, typhoons- well, you get the idea.

So it’s best that you be well-prepared prior to your trip abroad. If you have any pre-existing medical issues, it’s better to carry a letter from your physician summarizing your condition/s. The most recent consultation letters and lab reports must be included. While you’re at it, list all the names and numbers of your doctors in case you or somebody else has to get in touch with them. A MedicAlert bracelet is one of the most effective ways of informing the local doctor if you have fatal allergies, diabetes, a pacemaker, epilepsy, artificial hips, or other bionic body parts.  Also make sure that you learn all your medication’s names and have this list with you at all times.

Vigilance is the key to safety and your health must always be top priority when visiting new places like Davao City. A stay in a cheap hotel in Davao will still be fun and exciting especially when you are fully prepared and have peace of mind.
