WHERE TO STAY IN DAVAO
Although Davao City is such a large city, most hotels are located in close proximity to each other in Davao City’s center along C.M. Recto Street up to the busy Gaisano Mall. Hotel Galleria, Royal Mandaya Hotel, and Apo View Hotel are popular choices at Philippine Hotel Reservations Service. The Crown Regency Residences Davao offers spacious rooms in a cozy garden setting in the middle of the city. And the luxury choice amongst the city hotels is the exclusive Marco Polo Hotel.

The ever popular Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao is located northeast of the city center, near the Davao Gulf, while the Grand Regal Hotel is just a few kilometers away.

But the true highlight of Davao is the famous Pearl Farm Island Resort, which is located on Samar Island, just a short boat ride away from Davao City across the Davao Gulf.
