Staying at the Apo View Hotel
Whenever we are in Davao City we usually stay at either the Apo View Hotel or the Gran Men Seng Hotel. These are some of the hotels that are affiliated with the company we worked for.
The business trip we had this week made us stay again in the first hotel in Davao City and second oldest hotel in the Philippines, the Apo View Hotel for two nights, and I spent it in this room.
Indeed, Apo View gives us luxurious amenities, the flaw I can think of is the elevator maybe because of old age and their air freshener, it stinks! I hope they'll do something about it. It made me want to throw up whenever I'm in the elevator.
I also love the decor they have, just like this driftwood with a lot of orchids flowers. It really shows that Davao is not only known for the durians but also the abundant orchid flowers.
How I wish I can grow pretty orchids, but I think I don't have the green thumb. Most of the plants I planted did not survived. :(
It's a lovely hotel and those flowers are beautiful. Thank you very much for linking Today's Flowers with your post, very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteActually growing orchids isn't too difficult.
ReplyDeleteBut I love your picture with the driftwood.
Hi, i've stayed there too, but years ago so forgotten the elevator. Maybe you should send them this link so they will improve their service, kakahiya din sa mga tourists! Just like what Gisela above said, growing orchids is not really difficult especially that one in your picture, it is one of the easiest to grow here. We are the country easiest to grow them. You just need to know their requirements especially light and water, and then you can neglect them. There's not such thing as green thumb, those said to have green thumb are just knowledgeable.
ReplyDeleteNever been to this hotel and it looks beautiful! Your shots are gorgeous!
