seagull mountain resort, buda

the pine trees, the road,and the chapel view of the national highway from the front desk area the falls where you can enjoy cold natural water on the man-made pools if you can afford it, get married here, the place is amazing, if you can stay on the fireplace house on your wedding night it would be so awesome, but i do not know if they are renting that cabin out. unfortunately the front desk clerk did not know how much are the wedding packages there, but do not pass up a chance to get married on a hill, they certainly do give roman -catholic weddings there. this resort is located 3 hours away from davao city and 2 hours away from where i am now, now i know where to go to literally cool down. outside the resort there are kids selling native burloloy or bracelets, do buy from them, they are not enterprising like the shops in the malls for pictures of our stay, head on to my art gallery . visitors on mobile devices click here
