orlychio Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Tropical rainforest, rugged mountains including the UNESCO World Heritage listed Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary, killer surf and beaches lure travelers to the island of Mindanao. Mindanao’s capital – and the country’s third most populous city – vibrant Davao City has plenty of cultural, foodie delights and beaches just waiting to be discovered before you head to the island-province of Camiguin. As well as its tropical beaches, the latter is best known for its Mount Hibok-Hibok Protected Landscape of interior forest reserves (designated an ASEAN Heritage Park) and for its three National Cultural Treasures. Davao City’s Francisco Bangoy International Airport has flights from Singapore, Hong Kong, Doha and Quanzhou, as well as internal flights. Other domestic flights operate to and between several airports within Mindanao including the island paradise of Siargao. Hiking, diving, surfing and white-water rafting are just some of the exciting activities that await the adventurous in Davao Province and Camiguin, although wildlife encounters and visits to natural sites are high on the agenda too. Beaches promise relaxation, as do the likes of yoga and meditation with their associations with the Hindu-Buddhist traditions that influenced local life during the classic epoch of Philippine history. You might also consider a day-trip or overnighter to Lake Sebu a 4hr bus-ride (145km) southwest of Davao City – a growing ecotourism and adventure-sports destination as well as home to the T’boli and Ubo tribes. THINGS TO DO IN DAVAO & CAMIGUIN Trek to the top of Mount Apo in Davao province – the Philippines’ highest peak, at 3,144m, or the UNESCO listed Mount Hamiguitan (1,620m). Explore Davao City including the D’ Bone Collector natural history museum. Visit Davao Crocodile Park & Zoo with its wildlife shows and educational exhibits. Between Davao and the Cagayan de Oro, swim in Blue Water Cave in Bukidnon, and rappel, climb and spelunk nearby. Go white-water rafting in the Cagayan de Oro River with its electrifying rapids. Surf at Dahican Beach in Davao Oriental. Explore Camiguin’s historic gems: the Old Bonbon Church ruins and Sunken Cemetery in Catarman, Guinsilibas’ Spanish-era watchtower, Old Mambajao fountain and municipal building, Santo Rosario Church in Sagay town, and 14 heritage and ancestral houses. Immerse yourself in nature at Tuasan Falls on Camiguin island, a lovely spot to swim. Dive or snorkel at sites suited to all levels, especially those around Camiguin Island. Visit Davao’s luxury farm resorts Pearl Farm and Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation. Quote Link to comment
hitman531ph Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hmmm... I'll be in Davao City and i heard that we'll be booked in Marco Polo this Sat... I'll post na lang whatever i see... I've stayed at Grand Regal na rin... Not bad at all Quote Link to comment
orlychio Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 Enjoy your stay pare! Advance welcome to Davao! Quote Link to comment
hitman531ph Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The meeting we had was held at marco Polo but we didn't stay there.. We were billeted at Grand Regal... However, Marco Polo is quite classy but the food is terrible I didn't get to ask the concierge about anything... we weren't billeted atMarco Polo Quote Link to comment
super321 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 musta sa grand regal? do they have massage there? Quote Link to comment
hitman531ph Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 No, they don't... Grand Regal has a policy of no visitors past 10pm... At para hindi off-topic, below is a photo of The Marco Polo Davao, as taken from my camphone from the smoking deck Quote Link to comment
wrong mistaked Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 mga pards, ive been to davao and stayed in marco polo several times. Yung massage service dun pwede sextra, P1,000 yung siningil before. but i wouldnt recommend it, wala namang selection na maayos, not worth it. Better to go out - davao is pretty safe, just get a cab and ask him to take you to cabaguio st., dami options dun. alternatively, you could go take a walk to the Venue, sa may kanto dun may two stands ng cigret vendors na magkatabi - they act as conduits for some pros - pwede m dalin sa marco polo, no problem, but again lousy din ang selection, in my opinion. MTS is also an option, madami nakatambay doon, sa may CR area. I read somewhere here na may pimp ng maayos na girls sa may SM, sa Bo's coffee shop - look for randy daw? maybe you could verify this, and spread the info Quote Link to comment
orlychio Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 i visited the MTS last night but unfortunately no subject found. regarding randy of sm davao, nako contact pa din cya pero out na cya sa coffee shop na yun Quote Link to comment

Mild Seven Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) Bro, I'll be in Davao next week and will be staying in Grand Men Seng. Sorry kung medyo out-of-topic pero meron ba MP dun?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> padre, all the info you need is in the massage parlor thread (mp's in davao). si orlychio pwede mo din tanungin, taga dun siya.

big-sam Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Bro, I'll be in Davao next week and will be staying in Grand Men Seng. Sorry kung medyo out-of-topic pero meron ba MP dun?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> if you can choose, royal mandaya is so much better than grand men seng, at the same cost. Quote Link to comment
orlychio Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 ok talaga ang mandaya ang dami pang promos Quote Link to comment
orlychio Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 musta visit mo sa marco polo brod altezza? Quote Link to comment
super321 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 oo nga bro, if we may ask. did you try their massage? meron ba extra? Quote Link to comment
aikiway Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 There are some street girls near Apo View Hotel or Victoria Plaza. Quite cheap but... not so good. There are also some casas at Guerero St. I didn't try and very shabby too. There is a KTV, MP, and Go-go-bar at Cabaguio St. But quiteexpensive and not worth to visit. There is Go-go-bars at San Pedro St. but not worth to visit too. There is a small bar near Marcopolo Hotel. Turn left at the maingate and keep walking toward till you reach fruit stands. Thenyou can find Danny's bar. If you keep on walking, you can find Venue compound. Venuewas a best place before but I don't know now.. There is a 'Bar One' (or One Bar?) A waiter knows non-professional escort girls. There is a club called 'Liquid' at Apo View Hotel. On Friday and Saturday,it's very crowded. Or you can go to Rizal Promenade, 5 minutes awayfrom Apo View Hotel. There's 183 bar. It's also crowded during weekends. After 2am, all the bars and clubs are closed. Then people go toStarMart or Shell near SM Davao. Of course, they don't sell liquorsafter 2am too. Maybe you can pick up some girls there if you can.. In summary.. Danny's Bar, Liquid Bar, Venue, 183, Halo(in Venue).. are worth to drop by.. Maybe I'm not updated since I left Davao last december. Quote Link to comment
super321 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 bros, sa marco polo hotel itself, may extra ba yung massage service nila? i know sa apo view meron. do you think marco polo would go with the trend sa hotel services nowadays? Quote Link to comment
orlychio Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 have to monitor it first Quote Link to comment
sinabon Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 will stay there pero overnight lang, baka in a week or two.... i'm pretty sure walang sextra sa marco polo, kasi massage services are done by those from the hotel hair salon downstairs (Asmara massage yata ang name)....

orlychio Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 well ang latest info ay may massage din pala pero ang contact mo ay ang roomboy. may sextra amounting to 1,500 above..depende sa level ng chix. mahal pag legit student Quote Link to comment
