After spending two lovely days at the Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Eliel and I used the rest of the time to see a bit of Davao before heading back to Manila.
Because
I chose to procrastinate and am writing this several months later, the details
I remember are a bit hazy.haha
From
the Pearl Farm Resort, we took the hotel service back to the city. After losing
a lot of money in an expensive resort (well worth it, though), we planned to
spend the remaining nights in a budget-friendly place (a.k.a. our usual type of
travel accommodation). After scouring the internet (mainly, Trip Advisor and Agoda), we
found the best place for us - Ponce Suites.
Ponce
Suites is a cross between a hostel and an art gallery. It is owned by the family of Filipino artist Kublai Millan.
His works are not only displayed all over the hostel, but around Davao, too. One of his prominent creations is the big durian
sculpture that greets everyone at the Davao airport.
