MERGRANDE OCEAN RESORT

I was surprised to see a lot of changes in MerGrande. I used to come to this place when I was a kid. The last time I went though was when I was still in high school. Glad that I was able to go back last Saturday and got a chance to explore the place again.

Ofcourse, my pure writing wouldn't do justice in describing the place. So I took some snapshots. You can see the place thru my amateur photos. Mehehehe...


enough spaces in the parking lot

Rates


House Rules

Tickets  - Blue for the entrance and the white one for the Pool Entrance

This was sooo part of my childhood

Colorful Playground

We just had to take a picture with this. Again, part of my childhood


A castle is definitely a given in Mergrande



The POND


I'm not really a fan of their beach though but it looks okay.


Reminders: NO DIVING


Beach Huts

Mini Canteen by the beach

Here's a peek of their dome. Very big and nice. They also cater to parties and functions.





The POOL


I love the improvements and it's very cozy. I am also a big fan of their slides.









Great job Mergrande! Love the new changes :)

Would I come back? Definitely! I will go on those slides again for sure! I'll be back! :)


Mergrande Ocean Resort is located at Talomo, Davao City.

Food Trip: Kushiya *UPDATED*

The first time I went to this place was when our boss treated us to dinner here. I actually loved the place so I decided to bring Mark and let him try this place.



It's a non-airconditioned place but it was fairly cozy.


Details on the MENU. They are not open the whole day.

This is my favorite!

And this too. But if you order this, I suggest you don't over order. Based on experience, one order of Cheese is already enough for one person. I ordered 2 that day and I had to take the other one home with me because I already had enough share of cheese that night.

Sorry wasn't able to rotate this though.

drinks...

The place... tables and chairs right outside

decorations on the wall - fit for a Japanese themed mini resto

our orders...

L-R: Ebi, Cheese, Cheese... and oh, CHEESE..

What I did was I ordered one bowl of Rice and ordered their barbecues.

Mmmmm favorite! Butabara


Imma tell you this... I love the place and I'll keep on coming back whenever we are at Damosa Area. Highly Recommended. I live far away from Damosa but I really love the food there.


The place is owned by a Japanese and I admire him because he is so hands on in accommodating customers and all.


KUSHIYA is located at Damosa, Lanang, Davao City just near Sumo Asia Hotel.

*UPDATE* KUSHIYA HAS OPENED A NEW BRANCH IN QUIRINO JUST BESIDE BACKYARD BURGER. YEAY!!!!! :)



XOXO,
