Eden Nature Park and Resort

Fun nature experience in Davao. Excellent customer service.. Great Asian breakfast. Staff were jolly and accommodating. All requests were granted. The tour guide for day tour was very friendly and has excellent human drone skills..highly recommended. Services in the fishing village were reasonable.

Although this place is a distance from Davao City Proper, it is a must to see for the fantastic views and picture opportunities. There is an entrance fee and if you want the guided tour, it has a fee as well, but well worth it. Our guide was very articulate and very accommodating in taking pictures. We had an awesome time exploring this park and happy that whoever owns it is keeping the plants and trees well taken cared of.

We booked the vista cottage at 4,500 PHP per night which is inclusive of a buffet breakfast. PROS: 1. Cozy clean room with a screened in balcony overlooking the woods with a brook. The room however is not air conditioned, but the cool mountain air is enough to keep the room temperature comfortable. 2. Lots of activities within the sprawling resort! One must stay for around 3 days and 2 nights in order to do all of them. 3. Great food at the fisherman's village and fisher's grill CONS: 1. Around 30 km from the city center, quite hard to book a taxi. Best thing to do is to charter a vehicle, or you may ask the front desk to call a taxi for you but it may take an hour for the taxi to get to the resort 2. Limited food selections (just adobo, egg and pancakes for our buffet breakfast) and average to goodish food quality in Vista restaurant 3. Not all the vista cottages are accessible to those with impaired mobility. Our cottage (Vista 3) and other adjacent cottages (Vista 1 and 2) would require guests to pass through two or three sets of rough gravelly steps. 4. Signs of wear and tear in our room eg. Tissue paper holder was falling off, phone was not always functional
