Cocooning at Marco Polo Davao

I’m a sucker for swanky hotel rooms. Well, at least posher than my home (smile). My idea of heaven is staying in a hotel, ordering in, and snuggling in bed with a book or watching travel shows or bad reality TV.

After months of back-to-back work-related travel, I decided to give myself a treat—a day off at Marco Polo Davao—using my Privilege Membership Club, having joined months earlier. I had my accommodation upgraded to Cabana View Deck, with free breakfast thrown in.

I usually wake up late, but early the next morning I snuck in the patio and watched the light break out from the dark sky, savoring the seconds that appeared to beat slower.
