Admit it, you should have booked your ticket to some island paradise in time with the long Holy Week holiday to skip the heat and maybe even have a good time. I know that we all have our own valid reasons why we would rather stay put in Durianburg than brave the congested airports and even more congested beaches but staying put in Durianburg does not necessarily mean that we should be devoid of a little fun or even good food.
One way to spend the hot summer Fridays and Saturdays away is at The Deck of the Marco Polo Davao. Families can enjoy the night sky and chillax by the pool while enjoying a buffet of grilled items like lamb chops, tiger king prawns, fish, sausages and chicken with unlimited servings of local beers with the hotel’s Fire and Ice promotion.
I love how you can mix and match your favourite grilled meat and seafood with the abundant choices of salads and greens at the buffet. My favourite mix and match item would be Marco Polo Davao’s signature kinilaw served with fatty grilled lamb chops. The tartness of the kinilaw balances the richness of the lamb chops. Of course simple grilled king prawns are always a delightful eat too. Add to that free-flowing local beers as well as decadent desserts and fresh fruits and you have the complete island feast in the middle of urban Davao. Entertainment every evening is courtesy of the Subak Fire Dancers who can literally give fire dancers in Boracay a run for their money. You can even take a selfie with them after their exciting fire dance extravaganza.
The Marco Polo Davao’s Fire and Ice grill and chill promotion is priced at Php1300 per person and will is available now and lasts until the end of May, a perfect summer reward for us who choose to stay put.
