Unlike most Ayala Malls, it is easy to find your way around here. Not many seats though if you are walking around and suddenly get tired. Good dining options and many cinemas. I just wish the food court was airconditioned and not in an open area as that would be not ideal if there is a storm or if it is humid. Very pet-friendly

SM Davao aka SM Ecoland is just the right size. It has nice selection of restaurants (authentic Meranao, Japanese, American, etc.) as well as stores. There is also a piano at SM Annex and plenty of parking. The guard were helpful when asking for directions even if I can't speak the Visayan language. The location is easily accessible to commuters.

Clean zoo so your nostrils will not be assaulted when admiring the fauna. I just wish they would deploy more roving caretakers because the kid in front of me pushed the box turtle. Good thing it was not hurt badly. Tour guide Soi was very friendly and informative. Do not be alarmed when crocodiles fight and maul each other since it is normal for them when it is breeding season. I just can't give this a perfect score because I wish there's transportation which won't cost you too much and the directions are clear where to exit because it is easy to also get lost once you went to the inner parts like the koi feeding or ostrich feeding areas.

Many bargain items in this place but I wish they had a coffee shop where you can charge.
