ダバオのアパート

「Way off the beaten path, had trouble finding a ride to get there. Room that I reserved was rented out was replaced with a lesser room」

「This is a beautifully furnished house right on the water. There are steps that lead into the water! A public beach is just 5 minutes up the road. Josephine, the property manager, was fantastic. She helped arrange dinner for us who were arriving much later than expected.」

「I booked for 5 people. 4 seniors and 1 younger adult. We were given a very small unit with 1 room. We were cramped. The sofa was not even a sofa bed, we had to improvise adding the ottochair so the legs of kuya (80 yrs) won't be hanging. Mattress were spread ON THE FLOOR . Poor Ate (73 yrs) had the difficulty to get up from the floor. Btw, the mattress has to be folded because when spread completely, it will block the door.The caretaker was apologetic but maybe forgot to report to the owner...

「We arrived only to find out the unit was overbooked. Very disappointing and inconvenient considering all family (10 total) were thereto enjoy. We had to scramble to find another place to stay so their trip to Samal wasn't a total disaster 」
