Hotele z: Pools w Davao Region, Philippines

We really love this place. It's awesome! From staff to accommodation up to food and ambience, truly amazing. We definitely recommend this place. Beautiful reviews are indeed true. Also, kudos to Wyngard, Jocel, Jane, Kurt and Yelle! Thank you for making my birthday a memorable one.

From the moment we arrived at Dusit Thani Residence Davao, we felt welcomed and well-taken care of. The lobby, though modest in size, exuded a calm charm and the check-in process was smooth. We were greeted warmly by staff who treated us with genuine hospitality — their attentiveness set the tone for our entire stay. Many previous guests also praised the staff’s politeness and readiness to help.  We stayed in a studio apartment, and it was nothing short of comfortable. The room came with a kitchenette, a coffee/tea maker, minibar, and free WiFi — extremely convenient whether you’re staying briefly or planning a longer stay.  The modern fittings and thoughtful layout made it easy to relax or be productive: there was enough space to move around, and everything was clean and well-kept. Cleanliness, indeed, stood out during our stay — a point frequently echoed by other guests.  One of the highlights was the leisure amenities. We took full advantage of the outdoor swimming pool — a serene little oasis perfect for a morning dip or evening unwind. The fitness centre, spa, and wellness offerings added to the sense of pampering. For those traveling with kids or family, there’s even a kids’ pool and a family-friendly vibe.  Breakfast and dining at the hotel also deserve special mention. The buffet breakfast was generous and satisfying — a great way to start a busy day in Davao. For lunch or dinner, the on-site restaurant served a mix of Thai, Asian, international, and European dishes, giving a variety that could cater to different tastes and dietary preferences.  The presence of a café and even a pastry/deli option made it easy to grab a light meal or snack without leaving the property.  Location is another strong suit for Dusit Thani Residence. It’s conveniently located near the airport, which is a big plus if you have early flights or late arrivals.  At the same time, it’s still close enough to city amenities, shopping, and other attractions — offering both convenience and comfort. Many guests appreciated this balance of accessibility and tranquility.  That said, no stay is perfect, and a few aspects could be improved. Some guests mentioned that certain rooms felt a bit cramped or that balcony areas were under-utilized due to cleanliness concerns.  There were occasional gripes about maintenance — for example, shower drains draining slowly or small furniture quirks — and a few found the elevator access between towers a bit awkward, especially if coming from parking.  A minority even felt the place fell short of 5-star expectations in certain respects.  Still, for us, these were minor blemishes compared to the overall positive experience. What stood out was how the hotel blends comfort, convenience, and courteous service with enough extras to feel like more than just a “place to sleep.” The pool, spa, and kitchen-equipped rooms make it a strong choice for families, couples, business travellers — essentially anyone who values a balance of luxury and practicality. In conclusion: if you’re looking for a stay in Davao that offers more than just four walls — a place that feels both refined and welcoming — Dusit Thani Residence Davao delivers. Its attentive staff, well-appointed rooms, great amenities, and strategic location combine into a memorable experience. For those planning a trip to Davao, whether quick or extended, this hotel is a solid bet.

The check-in process was a breeze. Although the building and the room were clean, the cracks on the wall along the corridor and the room itself were concerning, especially that there was a short earthquake during my stay. They provided clean towels and complete toiletries. There were also free instant coffee, two bottled water, and bedroom slippers daily. The only problem I encountered was the room wifi service. If I had not complained about it, they would not have offered a router with prepaid internet connection (they had to do a top-up after one day use). All the staff were friendly and helpful. The check-out took time even if there was no queue (I’m not sure why).

Our stay at Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation in Davao was truly a memorable family experience and exactly what you would expect from a high-end 5-star resort. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and well thought out for both adults and kids. The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful swimming pools, pristine beachfront, and a wide range of water and land activities that kept the whole family entertained throughout our stay. Dining was a highlight. Every meal was consistently excellent, and having an onsite Starbucks was a great bonus for those quick coffee breaks in between activities. Breakfast each morning was especially impressive — a fantastic spread with high quality options that set the tone for the day. What truly made the experience stand out, however, was the team. Special thanks to Joshua and Clarise — with Clarise showing excellent management in complicated situations — as well as Dominic and Ralphe, for their outstanding service and genuine hospitality. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was smooth, enjoyable, and complete. This is a place that delivers on both luxury and warmth — perfect for families looking for a relaxing yet engaging getaway. We will definitely be back in September.

The first room we were given had a strong paint smell, so we switched to another one. However, due to the local humidity, that room had a musty smell. All three meals were buffet style, and the food was pretty good. The hotel boasts excellent sea views and also has a pool for kids. There are two scheduled boat transfers from Davao pier, at 11 AM and 2 PM, both are very punctual. For the return trip, boats depart at 8:30 AM and 12 PM.

This hotel is definitely not worth your money. The room itself is nice—spacious and cozy. However, the service is extremely poor. We had already booked a day in advance and arrived quite late, around 5:00 PM, so we expected everything to be fully prepared. Surprisingly, there were no bath towels in the room. It took three calls to the front desk and a 40-minute wait just to get towels delivered. The parking situation was equally frustrating due to indifferent security staff. The guard on duty offered zero guidance or instructions; they simply turned us away from the parking lot without prior notice, leaving us clueless as to whether the parking was full or if there were alternative spots reserved for hotel guests. To make matters worse, the Wi-Fi was painfully slow—mobile data was much faster. Overall, it was a disappointing stay and not worth the price.

The Pinnacle Hotel and Suites offers a great value stay in the heart of Davao City's Sta. Ana district, characterized by its reliable, well-maintained functionality despite an admittedly outdated style. Guests benefit from large rooms and good core amenities, including a well-kept pool and gym, and a balanced and generous breakfast buffet with good selections. Strategically located, the hotel is a convenient walking distance to G-Mall of Davao for an affordable quality mall experience

Great service and very friendly staff. The location is convenient, but the cleanliness and amenities could be improved esp the smell of lobby and cr. food in the buffet also needs immediate refill.  Overall, it was a comfortable stay, and the excellent customer service made the experience worthwhile. staff are friendly, accommodating and always ready to help. Despite these minor issues , I would recommend it for travelers looking for good service at a convenient location.

It could have been a beautiful and relaxing stay if the resort had been properly maintained and kept clean. Unfortunately, there were quite a few flies around the room, which became annoying, and the smell of the room was not very inviting. The water from the faucet was also brownish in color and had a salty taste, which was quite disappointing. Nevertheless, I truly commend the courteous, friendly, and attentive staff who did their best to make us comfortable despite these concerns. The resort itself is beautiful and has so much potential. The craftsmanship of the furniture and fixtures is quite exceptional and clearly reflects quality and attention to detail. However, it seems that the resort’s cleanliness and maintenance have been overlooked. With the price we paid—which is even higher than some 5-star hotels—I honestly feel that the experience was not worth the cost. It is a beautiful resort, and with proper maintenance, cleanliness, and attention to the overall guest experience, it could truly live up to its worth.
