  1. A great vacation in Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Davao

    August 17, 2009 by ajay

    I really enjoyed our business trip to Davao City last July and what clinched it was our overnight stopover at the scenic Pearl Farm Resort in Samal Island. It’s a must see when you’re in Davao because it’s out there as one of the top resorts in the Philippines. Our time in Pearl Farm, no matter how short, surely gave us time to unwind and shoo the work blues away. Most of all, the ultra-refreshing views made us forget the sullen landscape of the city.

  2. Chema’s By The Sea Resort, Samal Island: for that fabulous day trip out of Davao City

    November 2, 2008 by ajay

    During a recent trip, we were supposed to be in Davao City for less than 24 hours, if not for the cumbersome flight cancellation by Air Philippines. When you’re in a faraway place for so short a time, there’s a tendency to do everything.

    Some of the highlights: buy shawls in Aldevinco Shopping Center: check! sip durian coffee at Bluegre, eat sisig in Jack’s Ridge… check! check! Our gracious host recommended one more, and that’s to visit Chema’s By The Sea, a picturesque resort in Samal Island. Who can say no?

    Never mind if we had to wake up at the unholy hour of 6 a.m. What we did first was to wait at the spacious grounds of the Waterfront Insular Hotel , for the boat that would take us on a 10-minute ride or so to Samal Island. Needless to say, I get a kick out of these boat rides (for as long as the water is serene ) It never fails to make me appreciate the beauty of the Philippines.
