Davao Airport Oasis: Your 2-Bedroom Townhouse Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups – because we're diving headfirst into the Davao Airport Oasis. Forget those pristine, cookie-cutter hotel reviews. This is gonna be… real. And by real, I mean a glorious, rambling, slightly chaotic exploration of this 2-bedroom townhouse situation.
Davao Airport Oasis: Your 2-Bedroom Townhouse Awaits! – The Unfiltered Truth (and SEO-Friendly Too!)
Let's be honest, landing in Davao can be… intense. You're tired, you're hot, and you're probably dreaming of your next lechon encounter. The last thing you need is some generic, sterile hotel experience. That's where Davao Airport Oasis claims to come in.
Accessibility & Getting There: A Rollercoaster (Mostly Upward)
Okay, so the website says "Airport transfer"… good! Crucial! After a long flight, the last thing I want is to wrestle with a habal-habal (trust me, you don't want that post-flight). I can't speak firsthand about wheelchair accessibility but their site mentions the Facilities for disabled guests so hopefully there's some thought that went into this. Getting to the Oasis itself? It's surprisingly close to the airport – a huge win! No endless car rides after lugging your luggage around. Taxi service right at your doorstep. And free car park if you’re driving or using the Car park [on-site]! [Car park [free of charge]] is also available. Easy peasy.
The Internet Age: Connected or… Contemplative?
Right, the internet. Essential. I'm a sucker for Free Wi-Fi in all the rooms! because, well, social media addiction is a real thing. Plus, I need to find the best kinilaw spot, stat. They also offer Internet access – wireless, and Internet access – LAN. So, basically, you have options. They’re on the ball with Wi-Fi in public areas too. Not exactly sure if the Internet services includes streaming, but let’s just assume it’s serviceable for a bit of Netflix. No Internet [LAN] for me, but some may enjoy it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Can I Eat My Feelings?
Alright, the crucial question: food. Look, a stressful travel day? That screams for a 24-hour Room service [24-hour]. They have a Restaurant – and they offer Asian cuisine in the restaurant! What's the local food like? I'm curious! Maybe it'll have some real life, something to write home about! They also claim to have International cuisine in restaurant. Seems like they are going to have something for everyone! Need a quick bite? Snack bar is a must! I spotted mention of a Coffee shop and Poolside bar too… which sounds pretty perfect after a dip. Breakfast [buffet]. Breakfast service and Breakfast in room. Plus, they appear to have options for my vegetarian friends (Vegetarian restaurant). And they give a Bottle of water! A nice touch!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day or Bust!
Okay, time to unwind. The swimming pool [outdoor] looks inviting. The Pool with view is a plus! They also have a Fitness center if you’re the type to punish yourself after a delicious meal (not me, I’m all about the spa!). The big hitters: Spa, Spa/sauna, and a Sauna. Oh, and don't forget the indulgences. Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage, and a Foot bath – YES, PLEASE! I’m already picturing myself melting into a puddle of pure relaxation. Oh, they also have a Steamroom. A little intense for me, but hey, options are good.
Cleanliness & Safety: Germaphobes, Rejoice! (Or, At Least, Breathe Easier)
This is super important these days. They've got a bunch of safety measures, which is reassuring. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They also have Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. I'm particularly pleased to see they offer Hand sanitizer, and Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. The staff is Staff trained in safety protocol. All good! Plus, they seem to have their bases covered to offer a safe and secure experience.
The Townhouse Itself: Home Away From (Sort Of) Home
The real test! It’s a 2-Bedroom Townhouse! That’s the whole dang point, right? They’re promising space, something different from a cramped hotel room. Air conditioning, check. Air conditioning in public area, also check. The presence of a Desk is a great indicator of a good work space and great for those who work remotely. Safe dining setup, and Rooms sanitized between stays makes me feel at ease.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
This is where hotels can really shine (or fall flat). They've got the basics: Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Luggage storage. Elevator is a big plus, especially with luggage. They have a Front desk [24-hour]. Might come in handy! They have Family/child friendly offerings, with a Babysitting service and Kids meal.
For the Kids:
Well, they also have the Kids facilities I just mentioned, and they have Babysitting service, and they are Family/child friendly, which is great!
Quibbles and Quirks (Because Nothing’s Perfect)
Ok, to be honest, I have no clue if my lechon dreams will come true or not. And will the Wi-Fi survive a binge-watching session? And will there be a decent coffee to kickstart my Davao adventures?
My Verdict:
Based on this information, Davao Airport Oasis sounds like a solid option. The 2-bedroom townhouse concept, near the airport, with a pool and spa… it ticks a lot of boxes. I like the focus on safety, and the dining options seem promising.
(Here’s where I would insert a specific, catchy, and emotionally-charged call to action, tailored to my target audience. For example…*

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Modern Sea House Awaits in Sydals, Denmark
Okay, buckle up, Buttercups! This isn't your sanitized travel brochure itinerary. This is REAL. We’re headed to Davao City, Philippines, and we’re basing ourselves in a TWO-BEDROOM TOWNHOUSE NEAR THE AIRPORT. Think less "perfectly planned Pinterest board" and more "chaotic, but hopefully unforgettable, Filipino adventure."
DAVAO CITY: The Unofficial, Gloriously Messy Itinerary
PRE-TRIP: The Hype & the Panic
- Weeks Before: I'm oscillating between pure, unadulterated EXCITEMENT (mangoes! beaches! durian – yes, I'm a masochist!) and low-grade existential dread about packing. Seriously, how many mosquito repellent brands is too many? My suitcase is already threatening to spontaneously combust. My partner, bless his heart, is just hoping I don't leave the passport at home. (Spoiler alert: I almost did last time.)
- Days Before: Internet research binge. I'm convinced I'm an expert on everything from the best kinilaw (Filipino ceviche) spots to the exact temperature you need to properly prepare durian. The truth? I probably know more about durian preparation than how to actually pronounce the city names. Duh-VAH-oh? Dah-VAH-oh? The stress has led me to start compulsively watching travel vlogs, which only escalates the anxiety. And the desire for a crispy lechon to come.
DAY 1: Arrival, Airport Antics, and a Lesson in Patience (So Much Patience.)
- Morning: Flight. Let's be honest; I'm a terrible flyer. I'm the one constantly fidgeting, needing to use the bathroom, and silently judging those who aren't masked up. Finally get it settled, landing in Davao. The humidity immediately hits you like a warm, damp hug. Or, in my case, a slightly aggressive, sweaty hug.
- Airport Grind: The airport in Davao is surprisingly efficient, unlike the Manila airport which once took half of the day to pass through. We grab a taxi to our townhouse. Finding the Grab car pick-up spot, that's a different story. Why are all the signs in Tagalog? Is that a look of judgment the driver gives?
- Townhouse Check-In: The townhouse! It actually looks like the pictures, which is a small miracle. The air conditioning sputters a bit, but hey, it's functional. We unpack haphazardly. Already regretting the extra shoes I brought (told you!). The wifi is surprisingly fast, which is a huge win.
- Afternoon: First mission: food. We head out, armed with shaky Google Map directions. We stumble upon a tiny carinderia (local eatery). The smiles from the people are radiant. We order the combo meal, adobo (stewed meat) and sinigang (sour soup). It's heavenly. My partner, usually a picky eater, is slurping with gusto. Success! The first taste of authentic Filipino cooking, and an early win.
- Evening: We attempt to explore the nearby area, aiming for a sunset at the beach. But the traffic is insane. We end up stuck. The sky puts on a spectacular display of color, an orange and purple masterpiece, and all we can do is stare out over the crowded streets. Feeling so tired, we head back. We order sisig. (A sort of chopped pig dish) We eat in silence, content and exhausted.
DAY 2: Durian, Island Hopping, and Emotional Rollercoasters.
- Morning: This is the day. The day I face my durian fear. We head to a local market. The smell hits you like a pungent wall. It's… intense. But okay, I paid for this. I took a bite. The texture is… unique. The flavor is… unlike anything I've ever tasted. I'm going to be honest, It's not my favorite. My partner, on the other hand, is in heaven. He's practically purring. This is going to be a long trip.
- Afternoon: Island hopping! We take a boat out to the nearby islands. This is what I imagined. Turquoise water, white sand, and the sun on my skin. Snorkeling! We see more fish than I even knew existed. I'm not a strong swimmer, so I have to hold onto a life vest like a lifeline. But watching the fish as they dart around is magical. The sheer beauty of it! A moment of pure bliss.
- Sunset and the Aftermath: We find a cute little restaurant on the beach to watch the sunset. Drinks and food. Great. We get back to the boat, and suddenly, the engine sputters out. We are stranded. So much waiting. So much patience. The crew eventually gets it working. We get back to the mainland, sunburnt, exhausted, and slightly hangry. My partner's mood sours the entire rest of the day. We barely talk, and I have no idea why.
- Evening: We grab some quick dinner at a nearby fast food place. We eat, quiet and disappointed.
DAY 3: Culture Shock, Lost Wallets (Almost!), and Finding the Good.
- Morning: This is the day of the mountain of challenges. We take a taxi to a museum. The museum is… interesting. The contrast between the old artifacts and the modern city is jarring. I'm suddenly hyper-aware of our privilege. I am glad we're here.
- Afternoon: Almost Disaster. We go to a busy market. I get distracted by a beautiful scarf. I look for my wallet. It's gone. My heart stops. My partner is suddenly extremely calm. We search the area. We talk to the people around us and we're lucky! Some kind lady hands it to us. Everything is there. This is one of those moments.
- Late Afternoon: Back at the townhouse. I take a long shower. I'm still shaken. We decide to order delivery. We spend the evening reading and trying to recover.
- Evening: We visit a local art gallery in the area. So inspiring. We reflect and laugh.
DAY 4 & 5: The Real Davao & Departure
- Day 4: We visit the crocodile park. The sheer size of the crocodiles is terrifying. This is very cool to see though. We visit the People's Park. We have fun.
- Day 5: It's time to go. I feel so sad.
Final Thoughts:
This trip, like life, has been a mix of highs and lows. There were moments of pure joy, moments of frustration, and moments where I just wanted to crawl back into bed, and maybe call it a day. But overall, it was amazing.
Davao City is a place of contrasts. It's chaotic, it's vibrant, it's challenging, and it's absolutely beautiful. It definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone. And I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
Next time? I'm bringing more mosquito repellent, a phrasebook, and a whole lot more patience. And maybe another partner.
Now, on to the next adventure!
Escape to the Bavarian Alps: Stunning Apartment in Kofel, Oberammergau!
Okay, so Davao Airport Oasis... is it actually *near* the airport? 'Cause "oasis" sounds kinda… remote.
Right, that's the first thing everyone asks! And honestly? Yeah, it's pretty close. Think like, a quick ten-minute ride, tops. I stayed there last month after I landed at Francisco Bangoy International (that's the Davao airport, for the uninitiated) and I kid you not, I was practically inhaling the aircon as soon as I stepped out of the car. Super convenient. Seriously, after a long flight, the shorter the commute, the better. Remember that one time in Manila, where I took a seemingly endless taxi ride from the airport? I swear, I aged a decade. Never again. Oasis? Solid location.
What's the deal with the "2-bedroom townhouse" part? Is it cramped? Can we fit three people in each room? (Asking for a friend… who might be me.)
Okay, two bedrooms. Let's be real: that’s the *selling* point. I stayed with my sister and her husband, and the space was surprisingly decent. You're not going to be having a full-blown dance party in either bedroom, but you're not sleeping elbow-to-elbow, either. They're perfectly adequate for two people, which is great. We even had a tiny little balcony off the master bedroom – perfect for morning coffee and judging the neighbors. (Kidding!… mostly.) We definitely could've squeezed another person in each room if we *had* to, but… umm, no, don't do that. You end up hating each other. Trust me on this. I've been there. The living room is a good size, it even has a sofa, because apparently, some places think you should sit on the floor, even if you've paid, which I find utterly rude.
Amenities... what's *actually* available? I'm talking pool, gym, that kind of shizzle.
Right, the amenities. Here's the thing: it's not the *Four Seasons*. Okay? Let's manage expectations. They have a pool, it's… fine. Clean enough, you know? It's not some sparkling Instagram moment, but it's a pool. I went in and didn't immediately contract some weird tropical disease, so that's a win. There's a tiny gym. I peeked in. It looked… gym-y. I'm pretty sure they had a treadmill and some weights. Didn't actually *use* it, though. On holiday, right? The only exercise I was planning to do was walking to the buffet. They probably have a basic playground, I bet, but I didn't go, I just wanted to lie on the sofa. The basic stuff is there. Don't expect a water park or anything. It does the job.
Is it suitable for families with kids? (Mine are tiny ninjas.)
Hmmm, families with tiny ninjas, huh? Okay. It *can* be, I guess. The townhouses are safe, there's space to spread out (depending on the number of ninjas), and the pool could keep them occupied for a bit. But... the real question is *will YOU survive*? Because let's be honest, traveling with kids is… a challenge. I saw kids running around, and it was like "Oh, I would probably lose my mind in a week", so I can neither say yes or no - just remember, you are a parent.
What's the food situation like? Is there a restaurant on-site, or do I need to fend for myself?
Okay, the food situation. Here's where things get... interesting. There isn't a full restaurant *in* the Oasis. They have a tiny little cafe type place, but it's not exactly Michelin-star material. Think basic breakfast, maybe some light snacks. Don't get me wrong, it's still decent. But the *real* win is that Davao City itself is just a short drive away, and the food is incredible. I could go on for hours about the grilled tuna belly alone! Just do some Googling of restaurants near the Oasis. Amazing food is within reach!
What did you, personally, think of the place? Be honest! No sugarcoating!
Okay, *my* honest opinion? I liked it. Actually, I *really* liked it. (Okay, maybe slightly sugarcoating, but only a little). It was clean, it was convenient, and I didn't feel like I was breaking the bank. I’m a simple person – I need a comfortable bed, a hot shower, and good coffee. The Oasis delivered on all three. The best part was that it felt like a home. I could relax after a day of exploring Davao. Maybe you don't care about that. But if you do, it's a good choice. Would I go back? Absolutely. In a heartbeat. I'm already planning my next trip, actually. This time, I won't be shy about the restaurant, because the last time, I was shy and I missed out on the best grilled tuna in the world. Learning from my mistakes! And besides, it makes a great base for other regions.
