Seagull Mountain Resort

Over the weekend, my bro, cousins, Tita & I had an overnight stay at Seagull Mountain Resort in Buda, Davao.

We arrived at the resort a little past noon. A golf cart greeted us since private vehicles are not allowed inside the resort. The staff then took us to the resort lobby. We had prior reservations & got the White House Upper House for Php 3500. I’m glad we made reservations because only then that I found out they only have one accommodation for a group of 8 and that is the White House Upper House.

When we got to our room, we were shocked by the size of it. There were 8 comfortable single beds, 3 at the receiving area, 4 at another room near the toilet and 1 outside. The only bad side was that there’s only 1 T&B, although there’s 1 common T&B downstairs.

We did not waste time. As soon as we unpacked our stuffs, we headed to the waterfalls. To get there, we had the option of walking, which will take us about 15 minutes, or a mini-bus can take us there. We took the latter. :)

There were about 4 pools, 1 51/2 feet deep, 2 kiddie pools, and the other one, about waste deep near the waterfalls. The water from the pools all come from the waterfalls, which was quite new for me. But since we’re in the mountains, it was freaking cold! Cold but refreshing.

Aside from the waterfalls pools, there’s a pool too near the cottages.

But aside from that, there’s nothing more to do in the resort. L They do have a spa, which I didn’t check out. A golf course is under construction.

By 7:00 P.M., we can no longer tolerate the cold weather & so we went back inside. The rooms don’t have TV, radio or any form of entertainment. My brother brought playing cards and that’s what we did the entire night.

They also have a restaurant but from what I’ve heard, it was quite pricey & doesn’t taste well. We brought & cooked our own food. They do charge for every electronic appliance. We brought a rice cooker & they charged us Php350. But they allow grilling and each cottage has a grilling place nearby.

The other downside to this resort was that they sort of have problems with their electricity & water supply. We complained about it & they offered us a discount, which was just fair enough.
