We were invited by Mergrande Ocean Resort to attend their first Content Creators Day and at the same time launching of their Mergrande EcoPark.

May 14. I woke up early because the meet up time was move at 8AM. I'm excited to see my socmed colleagues, because it's our first time to have a f2f event amidst pandemic.

The Mergrande Ocean Resort is formerly known as Villa Victoria way back 80s and 90s. This place is so famous of their children playground and pool. It becomes one of Davao City landmarks for food, travel, adventure and vacation. But, it was closed and reopened again last July 2000 with a new management.

When Mr. Ernie and Mrs. Mercy Evangelista acquire the resort from the Limso they change the name of the resort to MERGRANDE. MER is a combination of the owner's name,  MERCY & ERNIE.

Upon arrival, we are advised to proceed to the MERGRANDE ECOPARK. Actually the area of their ecopark is the previous area for the horseback riding amenities they have way back 90s. But, Mrs. Evangelista renovates the area into something fun but also educational that both children and adults enjoyed.

This is the newest addition at Mergrande Ocean Resort. A product of the pandemic,  which forced the resort to close for 2 years and 2 months. The project started only with the BOUGAINVILLEA GARDEN.

But as pandemic stretched on, new ideas and new attractions materialized. Such as: KOI POND, BUFFET AREA, GAZEBO SWING, AVIARY DOME, OCTAGON POND, CALACHUCHI GARDEN, BONSAI FRUITY TREES AND PONDARIUM.

Last Sunday I had this great bonding experience with my mother and my two kids at KOOL KAT'S POOL located inside JACK'S RIDGE RESORT and RESTAURANT, Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City.  


Kid's are all excited to see this place again, we went here last Friday evening to celebrate my mother's birthday (see story here). And when my kid's saw their pool they are all eager to plunge in.  I told them we will be back, so this is it!



KOOL KAT'S POOL is a secluded hideaway resort wherein you can simply relax in a beautiful environment.  The entire resort has been carefully designed to ensure the natural surroundings blended throughout the twin swimming pools with a man-made waterfalls and slides built for pleasure, restaurant and bar with a big chill out chairs which help enhance the overall "HIDEAWAY" feel.

    


With fabulous views of Davao City's skyline.  Everything you need is here from great restaurant/bar and pool area.  They also have jungle walks wherein you can have a little walk throughout Jack's Ridge Resort place.  You can order from TAKLOBO'S MENU and they will serve it to you right by the pool area, the staff is most happy to serve you.


Kool Kat's Pool is really a "HIDEAWAY".  Away from the busy street of the city.  Away from noise pollution's.



The food serves is some of the best we have here in Davao.

SINUGLAW combination of SINUGBA(GRILL) and KINILAW FAMOUS DAVAO FOOD

CHARCOAL GRILLED PORK LIEMPO

And their drink...

BOTTOMLESS ICE TEA

I can't speak highly enough of KOOL KAT'S POOL at JACK'S RIDGE RESORT and RESTAURANT.  But if you are considering a few relaxing place to visit on top of the peak of Davao City I would suggest this place be on top of your list.
