It has a beautiful garden. The food in the restaurant is nice. Seats are inside in a Filipino style room, outside you can enjoy the spacious lush garden while have lunch/dinner. The rooms are large, beds comfortable. It is a bit older but the Charme of this resort is stunning. There is a shuttle boat to beaches at Samal island. Short ride to malls, with grab no problem at all. The breakfast is solid. I would say this was my best stay in Davao.
Everything is great, the pool is huge and clean, lifeguard always on duty and towels are always available. Room is modern and nice.The only thing I will complain is their food ( breakfast buffet) there is a lot of flies touching the fruits and deserts. We were setting right in the corner of the desert table and flies are everywhere.I even asked the employee that the flies touches desert and she said okay I will tell them.Person came and put a candle and thats it.I will suggest that pls assigned somebody to watch the fruits and deserts or any food thats open with out covers cause flies touches everywhere! Food is okay but not bad. The breakfast buffet for a children 7 to up is about 2,000 which is very pricey. I asked about it and one of them explain that how the rate is because my daughter is considered a extra person already and that 2k is included with extra bed so I asked the extra bed to put it out in our room.Still very expensive and no ala carte menu available for breakfast so you have no choice lol.
These are one of the flies that i cut off the legs beachse it was roaming in our table..
Service sometimes take time and manning doesn't know what to do, TV not working at all without any advise until asked, cleanliness is average due to age of the hotel and the food inconsistent to quality and public health standard.
i stayed in another room but surely it was the same experience as everyone else i guess, accessible to everything, safe to stay and the amenities are excellent... just realized before i checked out, the drinks at the bar was not that expensive, maybe because it's local rate and we are in the philippines... idk, i'm just used to see skyrocket prices of everythinv when you dine in a 4/5 star hotels
Als je aan de Filippijnen denkt met witte stranden, palmbomen en eindeloos uitzicht over zee dan moet je hier niet zijn. Maar wen geweldige plek om de drukte van de stad Davao te ontvluchten en te genieten van service, goed eten en rust. Prachtige kamers met eigen tuin en terras. Geweldig mooi park en zeer netjes onderhouden
En uiteraard kan je wel heerlijk zwemmen in zee met uitzicht op de wereldstad Davao.
Pros
- clean comfortable room
- near the cost line with view over the channel
- super polite staff
- great family pool area
- used to the place being full so it’s organised extremely well
- 24 hour room service
Cons
- no concierge to greet new guests getting out of taxis
- No one to show you to your room! Have to find your own way.
- loud banging doors waking guests very early in the morning due to neighbours from doors next to one another (see pictures)
- bird poo all over the windows (see pictures)
- breakfast buffet was just okay.. self service coffee and not great food.
A decent hotel but somewhat ruined by poor welcome and the early morning noise of other guests. Ask for a quiet rooms.
First time in Davao and Samal Island.The location is very near the wharf.The staff were friendly and helpful.Woke up very early and they were already cleaning the pool and surrounding areas for the guests.We had a good time in the pool and a little walking in the beach.
I found as a regular traveller that the Hotel was dated and not well supplied with plates or cutlery.
I notified a staff member about the extremely noisy and disturbing exhaust fan in the on suite of room 112. Nothing done and never had any further discussion by any staff member.
We had decided to stay a further night that wasn't booked online and had to pay more pesos even though we stayed 4 nights previously. Don't think I will stay here again and not likely to make an recommendations.

Great
JJunny LynneWe recently stayed at Discovery Samal, and overall, it was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.
The resort itself is beautiful—clean, modern, and well-maintained. We really loved our room and the amenities; everything felt comfortable and high-quality. The beach and pool areas are also great for unwinding.
That said, there are a few things to note. It was very hot during the daytime, and even the reception area (with fans only) felt quite warm.
We first went to Malabar Lounge for drinks while waiting, and later tried the billiards to pass the time. We went back to the reception twice to follow up, but the room still wasn’t ready. We understood since check-in is at 3 PM, but we were told they would call once it was ready—and we didn’t receive any call. It might be because the signal is weak in some areas (there’s no signal inside the billiard room).
If we hadn’t gone back to the reception at 3 PM, we honestly wouldn’t know what time we would have been allowed to check in. The check-in process itself also took a bit long, and we were only settled into our room around 3:30 PM.
Also, since it’s a luxury hotel, food and drinks are expectedly on the expensive side.
Despite these, we still had a great stay. The place is perfect for relaxing, and we truly enjoyed the experience overall. We’d still love to come back—maybe next time with family.
GGuest UserThe lobby is pretty small. The music in the evening not too good. The room service is not thoroughly. The windows were very dirty. Check-in counter is pretty small as well as the receiving area. The pool and the gym are fine but the space is confined. The room service food is okay. They have a Starbucks-certified coffee shop. Large basement parking. The location is not at the seaside. Azuela High Street is near and SM LaNang. There was only one bed side cabinet which is not acceptable for a 5 -star Hotel. The room furnituring is not optimized, it gives a squeezed atmosphere.
GGuest UserThank you Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation Resort for such an exceptional and unforgettable stay! From the beautiful accommodations to the breathtaking beach views, every moment was truly special and relaxing!
The kids had a wonderful time enjoying the fun and well-organized kids’ activities, making the experience even more memorable for our whole family!
Most especially, we would like to commend the amazing service of the staff, who were all so warm, attentive, and accommodating throughout our stay. A special thank you to Joshua Acta for the outstanding assistance and hospitality. Your kindness and dedication truly made our stay even more enjoyable.
We’re already looking forward to visiting again!
AACVSantosPearl Farm is like a paradise. Everything is pleasing to the eyes and to the tummy! Lechon is available every night. Staff are very friendly, accommodating and quick to respond to every request.
My only complaint is their social media, phone and email responses. They respond very slow or none at all.
1. I asked for a transfer from Discovery Samal Welcome Center to their Marina Wharf. They said they will send a van at 1pm but there was none. I followed up thru trip dot com messages, no response. I called their mobile number, declined! Guess what, they replied saying they were on lunch break! We were in a hurry because we need to be in their wharf before 2pm per their instruction. Nada. Good thing we were able to ask Discovery Samal staff to bring us to Marina Wharf.
2. Boat transfer from wharf to resort was cancelled due to big waves. I understand. We were told we will be traveling by land. We rode a van, lined up to be transferred via RORO (yes, the ship transfer) which took us 2 freaking hours just for lining up!! And another hour to arrive at the resort. We travelled for 3 HOURS just to arrive at the resort. We lined up with other RORO passengers - with and without vehicles. We are staying in a 5 star resort but they cant do something to make the waiting/lining up in the RORO be a little faster?? I saw the driver paying 20/passenger for riding the RORO (not verified). Cant the resort pay a little extra for a fast lane or something similar? Idk! Just rly disappointed bcos we were traveling with a 3yr old! Ofcourse I messaged them regarding this thru email and yes, they DID NOT REPLY AGAIN.
I wanted to rate them 5stars but their communication with guests is so bad. I worked in a hotel and every message from guests is taken very seriously.
GGuest UserThe receptionist was accomodating. I forgot her name but the hotel staffs were approachable. the location of the hotel is near to SM Lanang. Highly recommended hotel.
JJanet.SEveryone is nice. But staff needs to know more about the area and places that we asked they have no clue.
Linens and towels needs to be replaced when the color is almost brown instead of white. Its a very old hotel We had to call to replaced our pillows because its smells like old sweat. We were so excited that its beach front not until they told us the water is not recommended for swimming. We had to go to another island and pay. We were disappointed with that.Breakfast buffet is good.
MMelvic Mae RoxasIt was an amazing stay in Dusit Thani. Their breakfast have good variety everyday. If you request for bacon they will make one for you. The staff are very accomodating and i like how they greet the guests all the time. The spa is amazing very relaxing and the gym is clean and open 24/7. Pool is nice. We got the nice view from the 5th floor. Everyone is super mabait and amazing from the guards to reception, to staff and housekeeping. Will recommend this hotel to my friends who will visit Davao
BBig BeckerAsk for Nancy! She will make you have the best time here! This hotel exceeded all of my expectations. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with modern furnishings. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I had a restful night’s sleep. The hotel’s restaurant served delicious food and the staff were always friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it to others. Thanks again Nancy 😀
LljhaykimOverall, our stay was okay but there were some issues that need improvement.
We had to request for an extra towel for the floor because it was not provided in the room setup.
Breakfast was good, and we appreciated the variety and taste. However, our booking clearly stated 4 breakfast inclusions, but upon arrival, we were informed that it only covered 2 breakfasts, which was disappointing and felt misleading.
During our stay, there was an earthquake (magnitude 5.5). Surprisingly, no alarm or safety announcement was made by the hotel, which was concerning. Proper safety protocols should be in place during emergencies.
Overall, good breakfast but some service gaps and safety concerns need to be addressed.
