Davao City Hotels

Davao was once the largest city in the world–as far as area was concerned. Today Metro Tokyo is the largest of all the cities in the planet — and one of the most expensive of megacities.

But Davao City in the Philippines has retained its allure — even though it has been stricken out as the largest in the globe– and the least expensive of Philippine mega cities.

Some of its attractions are the colorful festivals, cheap fruits and as a jump-off area to other interesting places like the Philippine Eagle sanctuary, Samal Island pearl farm, banana plantations, Mount Apo, the country’s tallest mountain peak; Malagos garden and other places in Mindanao.

And when you are in Davao City the best place to stay is Mercure Hotel Davao.

Why Mercure Hotel Davao?

It is nearest to the airport. It will only take about five minutes for your taxi to get there.

Mercure Hotel Davao is on Km. post No. 7, meaning seven kilometers from the center of the city, which is the old city hall near the cathedral. Second it is on J.P. Laurel Avenue, a national highway, and the major access route to the city.

If you don’t like a dip in the large swimming pool, a hot tub or at the spa, you may walk a few meters to the clean beach near the hotel or try to get a boat for your trip across the strait to Samal Island pearl farm, which is now known as Samal Pearl Farm & Beach Resort.

If you want to have a view of the beautiful beaches or the distant Mount Apo mountain range, you may get a top floor room or the 12th floor or near the topmost floor.

Or if you want to view the festivals, get a room facing the main thoroughfare or near the ground floor so you may participate in the merrymaking.

If your have free evenings, you may take a cab and visit the several open air restaurants that offer grilled tuna, which is the delicacy of the place.
