If you are planning to have an extraordinary getaway this summer, don’t miss the booming travel goals in Davao Oriental. As I visited some of them, they are also for you to try.
1. Botona Dahican Beach Resort – A simple and peaceful resort along Dahican beach. Even when you’re on a budget, enjoy the serenity and beauty of the white sand shoreline.
