Koronadal formerly Marbel

Did you know that Koronadal is called Marbel before? And did you know that almost all of those who know it was called Marbel are long time residents?

Koronadal is a city in South Cotabato. It was named as such because it used to be a field of tall grass called koron. Now, it looks more like a field of pineapples.



Koronadal has wide fields of pineapples. These fields are owned or leased by Dole Philippines. And Dole makes the best pineapple products I have tried. They have even ventured into making peaches preserved in syrup.

When we were there, we stayed in an inland resort called the Farm.



The Farm has several function areas for big and small groups.







And aside from their dorms they have a row of villas for more private and relaxed stay.







It is a single bedroom unit with a queen sized bed, toilet and bath and amenities of a hotel in a small bungalow.

I had a relaxed stay in spite of our hectic and sweaty schedule.

You should try it too. :)
