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!
GGuest UserStayed at Crown Regency Residences Davao and it honestly felt like stepping back into the 90’s. The room had a nostalgic vibe that made the stay feel like a little time travel experience. The place may not have the most modern design, but it had its own charm and was still comfortable.
There were a few things that could be improved. The room did not have basic amenities like a toothbrush and toothpaste, and the TV outlet had no electricity so we were not able to watch TV during our stay.
Even with those small issues, we still had a great stay overall. The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff were accommodating, and the unique old-school feel of the hotel made the experience memorable.
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 UserI visited last December, and once again, the friendly and kind staff at Ahoview Hotel made me decide to stay here again. The rooms are well-cleaned and very tidy. The city view from the window also gets a passing grade. And most of all, I was satisfied with the breakfast buffet, though I would have been even happier if there were mangoes in the fruit section. Also, the Halo-Halo I had at the café was incredibly delicious. I'll include photos for you to see. This trip to Davao for three days was very satisfying. I'm truly grateful to all the hotel staff who work so sincerely for their guests.
AAnonymous UserRoom is cleaned every day. Toiletries and bottled water replenished daily. Bfast is satisfactory. Rooftop resto is a plus. Staff - very friendly and helpful.
There is no microwave to heat food.
You can’t bring pomelo to your room due to sanitary policies.
Lobby is under renovation but it’s ok.
GGuest Userthe dinner buffet with discounted rate for hotel guest was a thumbs and the food too was superb. With the shops outside the hotel from convenient stores, entertainment bars, massage parlors were all walking distance. i had a peaceful and well rested night. So overall I had a great stay
GGuest UserI had a wonderful 4-day stay at Acacia Hotel Davao, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed with their warm hospitality and attentive service. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a long day.
The hotel facilities were well-maintained, and everything felt organized and guest-friendly. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The food was also excellent, with a good variety of choices that catered to different tastes.
Overall, my experience was outstanding, and I would definitely give Acacia Hotel Davao a 5-star rating. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Davao who’s looking for comfort, great service, and a memorable stay.
RRussxVery nice place to stay in Davao. Never expected this beautiful and clean hotel. Food was amazing too. Amazing staffs. And close to Garden bay for food trip.
