Any one who visits Davao should spend a couple of days in paradise. Paradise Beach Resort that is. We make a habit of it and enjoy it every trip. Prices are very reasonable, it’s never crowded, units are large and comfortable, located in beautiful gardens just a stone’s throw from … Continue reading →
