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).

the location was good layout of bars and entertainment was good for samal island,, the location was also not far from the main town area which makes it good location, were other ” resorts” and that word is badly applied to most on samal island , where they charge more than what they ever give in facilities also , room per night cost vers what the room provided is excesive priced , the room hot water could not reach 26degs , , shower head was so blocked with water decay that is barely worked , the main shower head did not work , the ” bathroom” there is barely enough room to use the toilet and not hit your legs, sink placed on the wall was a likly to cause injury with the tap , again so corroded that there is next to no flow of water on the crubling wall , holding the structure up on the 2nd level, there is a 26” tv and kettle , the double bed is pushed so near to the wall a person ca not get out on one side , and room small The aircon did a good job , it is very small , no microwave, not doors on chipboard cupboards , its is the most basic room , where the plastic tiles move on the concrete floor , room had a glass sliding door where it was hard to close , would not line up with the frame. Entertainment is was good , but not when its the same thing 7 days a week , and the staff FAIL TO reduce the sound after 10pm EVERY NIGHT , regardless of anyone there or not , but make sure the glass door rattled on the room from the high base for 6 hours and only turned it off after 12 midnight, Theres is no built in pool on the property , but relies on beach tide to fill the front area for swiming , and low tide **** smells bad if you go walk near it i the morning , several ppl had skin rashes from swiming in the ” Ocean ” and i would never risk going in , unless you want a medical bill from water born contaminates NEVER EVER book this place for more than a 2 night stay , Pricing of food was high , and also were the drinks , but both ware of good quality , would i go back ? yes and no 1 night maybe cos of the enetertainment , and i could put up what the many , many short coming of a high priced place with low , low qaulity, for every other aspect of the property

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.

For the price, the comfort room is not that okay. There’s a wet area also in the floor carpet which I did not raised anymore because I checked in late already and will just move to other room the next day.

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
