Title: Attractions at Eden Nature Park & Resort- Davao
Hotel Reviews
We are here at beautiful Eden Nature Park and Resort
. As you can see in my background it says 'I love Eden' or '
I heart Eden'. I truly agree to that statement, I really love this place.
I've been here 10 or so times and I'm still in awe every time I come here.
One of the free amenities of the resort would be the mountain trail which we tried to follow, I think a fourth of the way yesterday. And this part is actually also a free area for guests. You can take photos here and there's a sort of gazebo good for weddings in the background, I don’t know if you can see it.
The
Fishing Village and swimming pool are free for overnight guests.
Entrance is free. We went to the swimming pool earlier and we had a lot of fun even though. We only stayed for probably half an hour.
The Fishing Village is actually a fun part of the resort as well. You can fish tilapia, cream dory and catfish but one of the staff members also told me that they have milkfish or bangus sometimes. You can have your catch cooked in their kitchen and served around the fishing area as well or in your room.
Another free part of the resort would be the playground. We had
Indiana Jones, that's the free ride. And there is a sort of old-fashioned playground where they have swings and slides and climbing areas.
It's among the pine trees so it's a shaded area. It's very enjoyable for kids.
Guests at Eden Nature Park who are not staying overnight can avail of a guided shuttle tour.
Actually it's still available for overnight guests. If you want to avail of the guided shuttle tour you can just book it at the Day Tour
Center.
The guided shuttle tour lasts for
45 minutes and it has three stopovers. The first stopover would be the flower garden. It's a huge manicured garden with different types of flowers. There are fields of flowers there. It's very pretty and colorful
On that part as well is the sunken amphitheater which is a great venue for weddings. There's also the rainbow pass right beside the amphitheater. It's a good place to take photos, especially if you are looking at pre-nuptial or engagement shoots. It's a very conducive place because it's romantic.
The second stop for the guided shuttle tour would be the Tinubdan. Tinubdan means origin or well-spring. It's a cultural village where you can find sculptures of the
Bagobo tribe depicting scenes of the Bagobo tribe of Davao.
Close to that would be a nipa hut. The nipa hut is actually the traditional
Filipino dwelling and you can see the regular fixtures inside it, like a ladder going up to the attic side where the bedroom is supposed to be and then just seats and where they can cook their food. It's a very simple house made of bamboo, on stilts
The next stop is
Lola's
Garden. 'Lola' is Filipino for grandmother. The garden is called that way because all the plants in that garden are actually a grandmother's favorite. In Lola's Garden is one of the most iconic parts of Eden Nature Park which is
Mayumi's
Wishing Well.
The water of the wishing well is covered with gumamela flowers of different colors. It's actually the perfect place for a selfie if you're into that kind of trend that young ones like us do every time we go to beautiful places like this.
Lola's Garden also has a concrete carabao or water buffalo which would not really complain no matter how many times you climb or ride on it.
There is also a herb garden right below Lola's Garden where the restaurant gets the herbs for their recipes. You can see a very nice view of Davao City in Lola's Garden.
So that's pretty much it for the guided shuttle tour.
