The Butterfly Garden - Eden Nature Park

We have to go down from the swimming pool to go to the Butterfly Garden












I asked why it is better to placed them inside a net, and the caretaker said that they are in that way protected from predators, and not only are they safe, they have lots of food to eat. In fact the butterflies were having their breakfast when we came to visit. They were eating watermelon...

Day 2 - The Swimming Pool At Eden Nature Park

The swimming pool of Eden Nature Park is across the Mountain Hall. Nestled on higher grounds and surrounded by trees. We were early because we went immediately after the Breakfast Buffet.  Nobody was there yet and the pool was ours. Somebody was cleaning the pool from fallen leaves...

The cottages are super big, and towels are free...

Eden Nature Park - Skyrider

After lunch, we took a little nap because it was still hot and around 2PM, we went to their activity or recreational area.  Took the shuttle again, together with other guests who are interested to go zipping...







Going to Skyrider and SkyCycle...

There she goes...


Eden Nature Park - Lunch at Vista Restaurant

The guided tour finished just before lunch and we were shuttled back to Vista Restaurant. We availed of the Lunch Buffet which costs 520 Php for Day Tourists, but for the resort's guests - costs only 350 Php.

We were dropped at the top of these stairs because we have to go down.





Inside the restaurant. Sorry, I was not able to take pictures of the buffet because lunch is on the swing already.  There were a lot of visitors that Saturday.


There are extra tables outside overlooking a playground.


Food is not exactly extraordinary 5-star hotel type, but there is plenty to go around and they taste fine too. The staff are fast in replenishing the buffet table. My only comment is that the juice is the powdered type. Canned would have tasted better. But then it was unlimited. And they provide plenty of ice. Perhaps if we ordered soda, but then that would incur extra charges.  From being famished, we became super full.  


This is the view from the restaurant. If one gaze further, one can see the city of Davao, but already quite far away.  However at night, the lights of the city look beautiful.


Below are the rest rooms for day tourists or the visitors who are not staying at the resort.


The heart here is for wedding photo shoots...
