Escape to Paradise: Your Dream 2-Bedroom House in Davao Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're diving HEADFIRST into a review of "Escape to Paradise: Your Dream 2-Bedroom House in Davao Awaits!" and, lemme tell you, I'm ready to spill the tea. Or maybe the tuba? Because, you know, paradise.
First Impressions & Getting Real About Accessibility (Rant incoming!)
So, the name? "Escape to Paradise"… it's… aspirational, right? Like, promising a getaway from the soul-crushing grind. And hey, Davao City is a sweet spot. Tropical vibes, the works. But, and I HAVE to say this upfront, Accessibility needs a serious look-over. Now, the listing mentions "Facilities for disabled guests," which sounds promising, but specifics? Beyond the elevator (yep, they have one!), I was left squinting, wondering if "accessible" meant "accessible ish." The whole "wheelchair accessible" thing? Gotta be clarified! Are we talking ramps everywhere? Wider doorways? Or just a slightly more optimistic interpretation of the word? My advice to the management? Get a REAL accessibility audit. Otherwise, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. And disappointment is the WORST in paradise!
Accessibility [Specifics Needed!]:
- Wheelchair Accessible – Needs MORE INFO.
- Elevator – Check! Yay!
- Facilities for disabled guests – What exactly? Be specific!
Internet - Because Let's Be Honest, We ALL Need It
Okay, the good news! Free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms! Praise the Wi-Fi gods! That's a massive win. My social media addiction rejoices. They also mention Internet access – LAN, and internet services. (I'm guessing this means there's a business center of some kind). Wi-Fi in public areas is also there, but how reliable? Is it a constant, buzzing connection that lasts throughout the day or does it cut out like a bad pop song? I’ll need to get into more detail about the speeds.
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – YES!
- Internet access – LAN – Cool for those who take their work seriously
- Wi-Fi in public areas – Good
Cleanliness and Safety - Because, you know, We're STILL in a Pandemic (sigh)
Alright, so the pandemic is still a thing, right? I really appreciated how seriously they took things. Anti-viral cleaning products, check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Also, check. Room sanitization opt-out available? Smart. They really make an effort. And the staff? Trained in safety protocols. I spotted hand sanitizer stations everywhere.
- Anti-viral cleaning products - Good to know!
- Daily disinfection in common areas - Reassuring!
- Hand sanitizer - Very important.
- Rooms sanitized between stays - Excellent.
- Staff trained in safety protocol - Great!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Fueling the Paradise Vibe
This is where things get interesting. They've got a lot of options. Restaurants, a poolside bar, a snack bar… We’re talking serious indulgence here. I'm a sucker for a good buffet, although honestly, I was hoping for more local cuisine. I adore their Asian Breakfast offerings but what about the Western fare? I am curious about their offerings. The coffee shop is a must-visit for me. Desserts in the restaurant, too. I hope they have all the local delicacies.
- Restaurants - Always a good start!
- Poolside bar - Yes, please.
- Asian Breakfast - YUM.
- Vegetarian restaurant - Excellent.
- Coffee shop - Must.
Rooms, Rooms, Glorious Rooms – Let's Get Cozy
Yeah, it’s a 2-bedroom place, so plenty of space for (pretend) friends, or a family, whatever. I found the rooms to be pretty well equipped – air conditioning (essential in Davao), an alarm clock (for those early morning adventures), and the all-important coffee/tea maker. The bed? Extra long, which is always a bonus for us tall folks. Now, the blackout curtains? Those are like the adult equivalent of putting on a security blanket. And the "window that opens"? Perfection. Let's me think I have control.
- Air conditioning – Crucial!
- Alarm clock – Check.
- Blackout curtains – HEAVEN.
- Coffee/tea maker – Yes!
- Extra long bed – Score!
- Window that opens – Fresh air, baby!
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things Matter
They've got a pretty solid roster of services. Daily housekeeping? Always appreciated. Laundry service? Essential for a long stay. Concierge? Nice to have. The elevator is a huge plus. Cash withdrawal? Convenient and essential.
- Daily housekeeping – Love it.
- Laundry service – Helpful.
- Elevator – Yay!
- Cash withdrawal – Nice!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (The Good Stuff!)
Okay, this is where "Paradise" really starts to feel… well, paradise-y. The fitness center is a must for me because I can't skip a single workout on the road. The sauna, the steam room, and the Spa/Sauna are all welcome. The Swimming pool is a BIG plus. And a pool with a view? Sign me up. I also loved that they have a steam room. And the body scrub and body wrap are very tempting.
- Fitness center – Need to check it out.
- Pool with view – YES!
- Sauna – Nice.
- Steamroom – Really good.
- Spa – Definitely!
- Swimming pool – Perfect.
For the Kids - Family-Friendly Vibes?
They claim to be family/child friendly. Babysitting service is a plus. Kids meals are mentioned. But I need more details! What does "kids facilities" actually mean? A playground? A game room? A splash pool? Give me the deets!
- Babysitting service – Good.
- Family/child friendly – Needs clarification.
- Kids meal – Yes, necessary.
- Kids facilities – NEEDS MORE INFO.
Getting Around - Because You Gotta Leave the Hotel Eventually…
They've got airport transfer, which is fantastic (especially after a long flight). Car park on-site (and free!), so no worries about parking. And taxi service for those times when you don't feel like driving.
- Airport transfer – BRILLIANT.
- Car park [free of charge] – Awesome!
- Taxi service – Useful.
My Final Thoughts (And a Little Anecdote)
Look, "Escape to Paradise" has potential. It's a decent place with some truly excellent features and a whole lot of amenities. The rooms are well-equipped, the food looks promising, and the relaxation options are legit.
But here's my honest take: I'd book it again, but with a very specific checklist. I'd be that guest, the one peppering the front desk with questions before I book. If accessibility is critical, I’m probably looking elsewhere, or going through a grueling, detailed investigation of its accessibility options. I'd want a clearer picture of the internet speeds and consistency. But the fact that I’m considering it means there’s something there – something promising.
And one last thing… I dream of the pool with a view, I swear.

Escape to Paradise: Stunning Lilyta Apartment, De Haan Beachfront!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to experience my chaotic, unfiltered, and potentially pizza-stained itinerary for a week at a 2-bedroom house in Deca Talomo, Davao City. Forget perfectly curated Instagram feeds; this is real life, baby!
Day 1: Arrival and the Unpacking Debacle (aka: Where's My Toothbrush?)
- Morning: Land in Davao! Hallelujah! Assuming the plane hasn't been delayed (fingers crossed, my pre-coffee mood isn't pretty). Quick taxi dash to Deca Talomo. First impression: "Wow, that's a lot of houses." Also, it's hot. Really, really hot. The kind of hot that makes you question all of your life choices.
- Afternoon: Unpacking. Or, as I like to call it, the treasure hunt. Somehow, every single time I travel, my suitcase explodes into a glorious mess of clothes and… whoa, is that a sock and a granola bar? How did that even happen? The absolute worst is when you can't find your toothbrush. It's a sign of impending doom, trust me. We're talking apocalyptic breath here. Finding a local convenience store for essentials becomes the most urgent mission. We try to settle in, making the house feel like a home. This also involves a quick negotiation with the internet provider. Good luck with that.
- Evening: Dinner at a local carinderia (small, family-run restaurant). If I'm not feeling brave, it's gonna be chicken inasal (grilled chicken). Davao is famous for it. I'm praying it's not too spicy. Me and spicy food do not have a good relationship. Actually, all food generally feels better when I don't have to cook, which I won't be doing, I'm on vacation! So, I might try the local fruits. Or a pizza. Or both. And a beer. Probably multiple.
Day 2: Island Hopping and My Near-Death Experience with a Jellyfish (Dramatic much?)
- Morning: Wake up, and the sun is already a blazing inferno. Slather on sunscreen like your life depends on it because, honestly, it kind of does. Head out to the pier for island hopping. I'm talking white sands, turquoise water – Instagram heaven.
- Afternoon: Snorkeling! Okay, I am the worst snorkeler. I'm more likely to swallow half the ocean than to actually see colorful fish. But hey, the views are stunning. Then…Jellyfish. Oh, they are cute, but not when you're in pain. I panicked. I screamed. I may have accidentally kicked my guide in the face. (Sorry again, dude!) A hasty retreat to shore and liberal applications of vinegar later, I’m still alive. But scarred. Emotionally, I mean. Physically, too.
- Evening: Dinner at a seafood restaurant. Post-jellyfish trauma, I'm craving comfort. A good plate of grilled fish and a cold drink should do the trick. Maybe order some ice cream for the little ones. And try not to think too much about what's lurking in the water.
Day 3: City Tour and the Quest for Durian (The Stinky Fruit of Destiny)
- Morning: Time for a city tour! Visit the Davao Crocodile Park. I don't know why, but I'm slightly terrified of crocodiles. Maybe it's the teeth. Followed by the Philippine Eagle Center. So cool to see these majestic birds.
- Afternoon: The moment of truth: the Durian market. I spent years in Philippines and I've never tried it. The rumors are true: it smells like gym socks mixed with something rotting. But everyone swears it's delicious. I will try a frozen version. Wish me luck!
- Evening: After the Durian experience (whether triumphant or traumatic remains to be seen), a relaxing evening. Maybe catch a movie. Or just crash on the couch and watch bad TV. No judgment here. Definitely need to find some ice cream to mask the Durian. If I succeeded, then maybe try another one.
Day 4: Samal Island Adventure and the Mystery of the Missing Sunglasses
- Morning: Ferry to Samal Island. It's supposed to be a paradise. This better be worth it.
- Afternoon: Beach time! Sunbathing, swimming, and generally being a lazy bum. Ah, yes, pure vacation bliss. Until… Wait. Where are my sunglasses? The ones I just bought? I swear, I'm losing my mind. A frantic search ensues, involving ripping apart my bag and interrogating anyone in my vicinity.
- Evening: Sunset cocktails on the beach. I deserve it after the Great Sunglasses Mystery. Also, let's be honest, I need a drink. If the sunglasses are still lost, time to hit the shopping malls for the new ones. They really aren't that hard to find.
Day 5: Relaxation and the Sudden Urge to Learn Tagalog
- Morning: Sleep in! Seriously, the best part of any vacation. Maybe grab a coffee at a local cafe and do absolutely nothing. Catch up on some reading, or watch some TV.
- Afternoon: A sudden, inexplicable urge to learn Tagalog. I'll download a language learning app and start butchering the beautiful language in the privacy of my room. It's probably the adrenaline from the jellyfish and durian.
- Evening: Experimenting with local cuisine, and maybe I'll cook something at our house. Nothing fancy, maybe a simple pasta dish. Or just order pizza.
Day 6: Back to the Wild and the Existential Dread of Departure
- Morning: A trip back to the mountains. This part is a gamble because the roads are not well-maintained.
- Afternoon: Exploring the mountains. Visiting waterfalls, caves.
- Evening: The last evening, already? Where did the time go? We're already making quick plans for the next trip.
Day 7: Goodbye, Davao! (And the Panic of Packing)
- Morning: The dreaded packing. How is it possible that all the clothes I brought now take up twice the space? Throwing everything into the suitcase and hoping for the best.
- Afternoon: Last-minute souvenir shopping. Panic-buying anything and everything. "Oh, a t-shirt with a funny saying? Yes, please!"
- Evening: Saying goodbye to Davao. Taxi to the airport. Flight home. And already planning the next adventure. I don't really want to leave. I want to stay and explore the places. But. I need to go back to reality eventually.
Remember, this is just a rough outline. The real magic of travel is the unexpected. The wrong turns, the lost luggage, the jellyfish encounters. Embrace it all! Davao, here I come! (With multiple bottles of bug spray and a healthy dose of sunscreen!) And bring me pizza.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream 2-Bedroom House in Davao Awaits! - Seriously, Answer These Already!
Okay, Okay, So What *Exactly* Does "Escape to Paradise" *Mean*? Is it Literally a Jungle Hut? Because I'm Not Sure I Can Do Jungle Huts. I'm More of a "Hot Shower and Working Wi-Fi" Kind of Person.
Alright, settle down, drama queen. No, it's not a jungle hut. Whew, dodged that bullet! "Escape to Paradise" is, well, the aspirational marketing spiel. Basically, it's a lovely, modern, two-bedroom house – think actual walls, a roof (essential!), and hopefully, a working air conditioner. We're talking Davao City. So, expect all the usual amenities of a *real* house. Not a glorified treehouse for Instagram influencers. Unless you *are* an Instagram influencer… in which case, bring your filters. Just kidding! (Mostly.) We're aiming for "tranquil living, with a touch of Davao charm." So, yeah, proper paradise, not a survivalist challenge.
I remember the *last* place I looked at. Picture this: tiny, dark, and the *smell*...oh god, the smell. Like a wet dog mated with a forgotten gym sock. This? This is the *opposite* of that. Thank the heavens.
Two Bedrooms? Who Is This For? Me, Myself, and I (and a Possibly Very Grumpy Cat)? Or… You Know, Actuality People?
Look, we’re not here to judge your life choices. Two bedrooms are perfect for a couple, a small family, two friends (the kind who don’t mind sharing a bathroom, bless them), or even just a solo adventurer who *really* needs a guest room. Or a dedicated cat throne room. Again, no judgment here!
Maybe your grumpy cat *deserves* its own bedroom! Think about it. Fancy little feline retreat. Or maybe you're finally ready to *escape* the in-laws' spare room. Whatever your reason, two bedrooms offer options. Freedom! And, potentially, the ability to avoid awkward snoring encounters. Win-win.
Davao? Isn't That... Far? How Do I Get There? And, More Importantly, Is It Safe? (Seriously, Tell Me It's Safe. My Anxiety is Already Flaring)
Yes, Davao is in the Philippines. Which, yes, requires a flight. From almost anywhere. It's not like popping down the street. Okay? Okay.
Safety? Davao is generally considered a safe city. There's a strong police presence. Think of it as less "Wild West" and more "Well-Governed Suburb". Just use common sense, don't flash your Rolex (or, you know, any expensive jewelry), and you'll be fine. Honestly, I feel safer there than I sometimes feel in, say, my own living room when I'm trying to assemble flatpack furniture. That's a *real* hazard to my mental health. And my sanity.
Getting there? The Davao airport is pretty good. It's all a bit of a blur of travel. But yeah, you get on a plane. That's what you do. Fly! Just don't forget your passport. I did that once. Never again.
What's *Actually* Included? I'm Talking Appliances Here. And, Uh, Is There a Pool? Because Pool.
Okay, the hard questions. Let's get the practical bits out of the way. Appliances *will* vary depending on the specific house, but you can expect a kitchen (with at least a basic stove and sink, hopefully a fridge), and bathrooms. A proper bathroom with, you know, plumbing.
Pool? Hmmm… let’s be realistic. Often, there’s no private pool with a stand-alone unit. Maybe a community pool. Maybe. Gotta read those specific listings carefully. Don't get your hopes up *too* high. The reality is often less "glamorous infinity pool overlooking the sunset" and more "slightly chlorinated rectangle, shared with ten screaming kids." But hey, a pool's a pool, yeah? And Davao is hot, so...
Are Pets Allowed? Because If Not, I’m Out. My Chihuahua Prefers Luxury.
Ah, the all-important pet question! This is where it gets tricky. "Pet-friendly" varies wildly. Some places are totally cool with cats, dogs, hamsters… maybe even a slightly aggressive ferret (if you can convince them). Others? Not so much.
You'll need to check the specific listing details. Read the fine print! And don’t even *think* about sneaking in a boa constrictor. Trust me, that won’t end well. For anyone. Especially the boa constrictor. But probably also the neighbors.
And if your chihuahua is a "luxury" chihuahua, be prepared to potentially pay a higher pet deposit. Because, you know, luxury.
What About the Internet? Because, Priorities. I Need to Stream, Browse, and Obviously, Post Pictures of My Amazing Life in Paradise.
Internet! This is a critical one. The internet situation in Davao has improved. BUT, do not assume it's going to be flawless. Ask. Specifically. What speed do they offer? Is it reliable? Because a slow, dropping internet connection is a special kind of torture. It's like being stuck in digital quicksand.
Do your research! Look at reviews! Ask about internet reliability! Because, face it, if you can't post those envy-inducing paradise pictures in real-time, what's it all *for*? (Kidding. Sort of.) But seriously. Internet is important. Especially for ordering pizza when you don't feel like cooking. Always a plus.
How Much Will This *Actually* Cost? Because My Budget is Currently a Single Ramen Noodle Remaining From Last Week.
Ah, the million-dollar question… or, well, the "how much is this two-bedroom house going to cost me" question. The price, obviously, varies. Location! Amenities! Whether the previous owner had a cat that shed everywhere! All of it plays a role.
Your best bet is to browse listings, see what's available in your price range. Factor in monthly payments, potential HOA fees (if there is a community). And don’t forget the initial deposit to go with Ramen noodle. (Just kidding.World Wide Inns
