D' Leonor Hotel Inland Resort



D' Leonor Hotel Inland Resort is a sprawling 26 hectare inland resort and adventure park nestled on a mountainous terrain in Cabantian, Davao City. It is regarded as the biggest inland resort and one of the newest attractions to the ever growing number of adventure parks in Davao City. It features a surf rider, a mini zoo, a fish pond, a zipline, a hanging bridge, a cable car, and, of course, their pride - the wavepool and the raging river. It also has tennis and basketball courts, an air conditioned chapel, commercial buildings, restaurants, a picnic area, and a clubhouse. For overnight stay, the resort has a hotel and cottages.

The Resort had its soft opening in May 14, 2011 which was attended by the owner, Leonora Lim, Davao City Councilor Al Ryan Alejandre, actor Marvin Agustin and several invited guests, including those from the media.

  2. Hi Aisha, thank you for leaving a comment, and for finding my blog informative and worthy of bookmarking it.

    Blogging is not as easy as some people may think since it requires a lot of time and effort to produce an article. But blogging is all fun. I love Davao City and everything about it and blogging is my own little way of inviting people to take a second look at Davao City which I have embraced as my second hometown.

    1. I was there Dec 29-Dec 30, 2012. If u want to know about the restraunt?! My suggestion to you is stay away from it & bring your own if you can?! Had lunch, dinner & breakfast there. Bad service, slow, a lot of things not available, food is cold after waiting forever to get your food. To sum it up without going into my long list of bad experiences there! One quick one is for breakfast they ask us if we want plain or garlic rice, we say garlic, they come back a few minutes later saying its not available. Really?! Didn't think it took a lot to make over plain rice?! We ordered a Mango shake, never received & ended up cancelling it. The rides & everything was good but just the restraunt left a bad taste in my mouth on that experience. Hopefully that helps you & anyone that wants to know?! Good luck if you do go & try it because maybe you'll have better luck than we did?!

    2. Our family went there just this June 20. Food was not that bad. They probably were still adjusting in the kitchen when you visited.

  7. Hi Southern Scribbler! D' Leonor Hotel Inland Resort is relatively new considering it was only opened to the public last May 14 of this year. While much of the facilities had already been constructed and opened to the public, the Resort is targeting to finish the remaining facilities by the end of the year and is set to go full blast within the next two to three years.

    Currently, the mini zoo houses three ostriches, and, from what I gather, there are plans to bring-in more animals like tiger, lion, bear, and deer.

    The food is quite okay for my taste and the staff are attentive. I hope you will drop-in again for fresh posts and updates. Thank you for your comments.

  8. By the way, Southern Scribbler, I am not certain if D' Leonor Hotel Inland Resort has an official website at this time, but I am sure there will be one in the future.

  13. Hi Sittie Aisah, thanks for your comment. Honestly, my description of Davao and the Dabawenyos in the pages of this blog pales in comparison to what Davao and the Dabawenyos actually are. I cannot help but be emotional each time I think and write about Davao particularly the countless unforgettable episodes of my long stay in the city.

    It might interest you to know that I met in Davao City my wife who is also a Muslim.

  19. Jan 2012 Rates
    Entrance - P75
    Use of pool - P250.. bisag dili ka maligo. Makatagam
    Cottage - P500

    @6-heads, it will cost you P2,500 wala pay kaon, ligo lang.

    Cost seems not worth it.

  20. Hey I like the parking lot it has!!! Can you believe that there are still hotels that do not have one and cars have to stay out all night?? I´m going to Argentina and the hotel in buenos aires has a huge space for cars. You can´t leave your car in the street in a country you do not know much!

  30. Your blog is very informative and I admire you for answering most of the querries patiently :)
    I am just wondering because it seemed like you have been to this resort with a pleasant experience, how do you think about the very NEGATIVE reviews of many customers who have been there?

    Do u think spending 350PhP per head is not worthy to be able to use the wavepool thinking that there is a WAVEPOOL resort in Matina for less than 100 PhP per head?

    Thanks!

    1. My views will always be biased in favor of Davao City and its uniquely wonderful warm Dabawenyos however I go anywhere in the city, be it at EMARS or at D Eleonor, the experience will always be pleasant. My long stay in the city, and my regular visit thereto will always be remembered with much fondness.

      Your question, however, calls to mind two lawyer friends of mine who, at one time, were engaged in a friendly argument having totally different views on a single point of law and none was found better than the other.

      Thank you for dropping by and finding the blog informative.

  32. to ANONYMUOS before this post:

    first, please refrain from saying MORONS.. tsk3x, may IGNORANT pa..remember, all of us have been ignorants not once, but many times in our lives, like, the first time we used a sensor-type faucet/toilet bowl..

    second, the resort is really pricey.. not bec they cant afford it, but objectively, it is.

    third, keep your negative tongue behind.

    ReplyDelete
  33. in fairness, kahit maraming negative blogs about your resort, it is still very nice for me, ewan ko lang sa iba na walang tigil ang comments, d na lang kasi matuwa, dami pang reklamo e wala naman kaming naencounter na ikinagalit namin lalo na dun sa mga staff, d naman cla ang nagdedesisyon sa mahal na presyo ng mga facilities nila at kahit na mahal man yung mga yon sulit din naman sa ganda ng lugar, in fact ang gagaling nga ng mga empleyado, magagalang at kahit mainit nakangiti, ang gaganda pa...

    Question for the site admin. Sir, Someone posted about the outfit for the pool, although you have answered that there's no particular swimwear requirement.

    Does this include to both sexes? Male and Female?

    Kasi sa ibang pool dito sa Davao meron ehh...

    Nice post by the way..

  35. Hi Guy Living in Davao, the Resort does not require any particular swimwear for both male and female. Propriety will, of course, dictate proper outfit for swimming.

Maganda ang place, marami nang pwedeng gawin! Super sulit! If you want to avail of amenities like zipline, wall climbing, zoo, etc. syempre may bayad na yan. This ain't a public park, people.
