Davao编年史

Davao City was founded in 1848 as a Spanish settlement, then became a key American military outpost. The city's architecture has evolved over the years, with a mix of Spanish colonial, American colonial, and modern buildings. Davao is known for its robust economy, driven by the growth of the IT-BPO sector, and its natural attractions, such as Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines. In recent years, Davao has become a hub for arts and culture, with the establishment of the Davao City Museum and the Kadayawan Festival. The city's vibrant cultural identity is shaped by its indigenous T'boli and Tagalog communities, with a strong emphasis on tradition and community.

峰会 / 节日 Surge

July is the peak month in Davao, with the Kadayawan Festival drawing large crowds and higher hotel prices. The festival, held to celebrate the city's harvest season, features street parties, cultural events, and a grand float parade. Expect higher prices and larger crowds during this time, but it's a great time to experience the city's vibrant culture.

预算肩部季节

The shoulder months of June and September offer a great balance of comfortable weather and lower prices. These months are ideal for budget-conscious travellers who want to explore the city without the crowds and high prices of peak season.

天气 & 包装

Davao's climate is characterised by a tropical rainforest climate, with sudden rain showers even during the dry season. Pack lightweight, quick-drying clothing and a waterproof jacket to be prepared for the city's unpredictable weather.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Yap Apartment, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (e.g., 7th floor or above) to minimize street noise from J.P. Laurel Avenue, which is a busy road. The hotel's lift serves all floors, so you'll have easy access to your room.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the lift, as the noise from the lift's operation and people using it may disturb you. Also, if you're a light sleeper, you might want to avoid rooms on lower floors (1st to 3rd) as they're closer to the main entrance and might pick up more street noise.

🪟

Best views

Unfortunately, there's no information on the hotel's orientation or view options, but you can ask the hotel staff about the best rooms with a city view.

😴

Quietest floors

6th floor and above

🔊 Noise notes

J.P. Laurel Avenue is a busy road with constant traffic, so rooms on lower floors may pick up some noise. The hotel's location in Bajada also means you may hear some noise from nearby shops and restaurants.

Insider tips

Take advantage of the hotel's free Wi-Fi with a decent speed of 10 Mbps, which should be sufficient for basic tasks like browsing and email. If you're driving, be aware that parking is limited on-site, and the nearest public car park at Gaisano Mall is a short walk away. It's a good idea to book your parking spot in advance, especially during peak hours.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

围绕

🚌
Multicab (shared minibus) PHP 10–15

Davao City Overland Transport Terminal or local routes → We R Inn area (along Quimpo Blvd)

35 min · Every 10–20 minutes · Roughly 5am–8pm

💡 Multicabs are covered, fan-cooled minibuses that run fixed routes. They're cheaper than jeepneys but slower. For We R Inn, look for a multicab with signs for 'Matina' or 'Quimpo.' They stop anywhere along the route – just wave them down.

🚌
Jeepney PHP 12–14

Various jeepney terminals (e.g., Bankerohan, Obrero) → We R Inn area (routes passing Quimpo Blvd)

30 min · Every 5–10 minutes during peak, less frequent off-peak · Roughly 5am–9pm, but varies by route

💡 For We R Inn, take a jeepney with 'Quimpo' or 'F. Torres' on the side panel. Drop off at the corner of Quimpo Blvd and F. Torres St. Pay the driver as you board or pass your fare forward. Have small bills or coins ready – drivers rarely have change for PHP 50.

🚌
Uber/Grab (ride-hailing) PHP 150–250

Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO) → We R Inn, Davao City

20 min · On demand · 24/7 (subject to driver availability)

💡 Grab is the most reliable ride-hailing app in Davao. The pickup point is outside arrivals. Avoid surge pricing by booking immediately after landing. Often cheaper than metered taxis and you get a fixed fare upfront.

🚕
Airport taxi (yellow or white) PHP 200–350

Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO) → We R Inn, Davao City

20 min · On demand · 24/7

💡 Skip the yellow airport taxis at the official queue if you're on a budget – walk 50m outside the terminal gate and flag a white metered taxi. Confirm the driver uses the meter or agree a price before getting in. We R Inn is about 8 km from the airport, near the corner of Quimpo Blvd and F. Torres St.

Davao热门景点

People's Park Free

💡 Visit late afternoon when the heat drops and locals come out. The Wi-Fi is reliable enough for basic browsing.

San Pedro Cathedral Free

💡 Step inside for air-con and quiet during midday heat. The adjacent plaza often has cheap street food vendors in the evening.

Davao Museum of History and Ethnography

💡 The 30-minute guided tour is included in the fee and adds context you'd miss on your own. Go early on weekday mornings when it's empty.

Davao Crocodile Park

💡 Go for the 10am or 3pm feeding sessions to see the crocs leap for meat. Skip the overpriced snacks inside and eat at a nearby carinderia after.

Eden Nature Park

💡 Take the first shuttle at 8am to avoid crowds. Pack a picnic lunch—eating at the on-site restaurant is pricey and average.
