Summer Staycation Davao: Park Inn

It’s summer and you need a break. You’re having second thoughts about traveling abroad and even domestic travel does not appeal too much. Where to go? How about making the most out of what’s within reach?

This is the Staycation Davao Series, stories that will give you an idea where you can have great time for a summer frolic with the family, or enjoy a much-needed me time. You need not go far to have it.

Park Inn by Radisson Davao. It’s not just a favorite of businessmen but of leisure travelers as well. The location is a plus and the amenities can cater to everyone’s needs. You need not step out, tempting the mall beside it may be, and that’s what I did.

12:00PM: Check-out and grab lunch. The house specialty is a must try—RGB Classic Burger. It's a quarter pound of all beef goodness with everything you dream of on it. Yep, it’s quite indulgent but you deserve it, and nobody’s going to judge you. If it will make you feel less guilty, order a healthy drink instead of a soda. The Mint Detox with mint, calamansi and cucumber is a refreshing drink that can transport your mind to the beach.
