I booked two rooms at Apo View Hotel for my family’s Davao City day trip. A deluxe room for my parents and a superior room for my siblings, as no family rooms were available. Wasn’t able to use the other hotel amenities since the Davao City stay was short.
Despite a stressful flight rescheduling (with Cebu Pacific), the hotel was a highlight!
The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, with my parents loving the deluxe’s cozy vibe and my siblings enjoying the superior’s modern touches.
On the booking i requested rooms around lower floors, unfortunately they refused and handed fourth floor rooms.
The breakfast buffet, which I added on, was a hit with fresh fruits, adobo, and pandesal that brought the family together the morning after.
Apo View hotel’s prime downtown location made exploring spots like People’s Park a breeze.
I stayed here years ago and was thrilled it lived up to my memories. Will definitely book again for our next Davao adventure
We had a great family stay here. There's ample space for walks with lovely sea views, and our room was clean and comfortable. Just a couple of minor issues: the internet was quite slow, and we noticed there was no comb provided in the bathroom.
We stayed for 2 days with no WiFi, no TV signal, and the air conditioner was leaking. We've called for a technician several times already. We called the Front desk officer to assist us, but they just told us there was no signal. It wasn't very pleasant since we did not enjoy what we paid for comfort and access to the internet. I hope that with this review, they will work on how to attend to their customers' concerns.
The hotel's location is excellent. It's not far from the airport, and a large SM shopping mall is conveniently located right next door. The authentic Chinese restaurant on the third floor offers generous portions at a reasonable price. Rooms are well-equipped, with disposable slippers, toothbrushes, and toothpaste all provided. Breakfast was also decent.
The location is amazing, less than a minute walk to the mall next door. Staff is generally friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious. Beds are comfortable. Hotels also provide BOTH usb and usb-c charging ports, as well as universal plug sockets!
The negative thing is the lack of exhaust fan in the bathroom, causing a musty smell all day long, especially if the bathroom door is left closed. We booked two rooms. Our second room was also not done till around 4:30pm, and only after repeated enquiries at the front desk.
Travelling with a toddler
This place is perfect!!!! Our flight arrival was 7:10am. We were welcomed by Kuya Alec (airport transfer driver) straight to the Welcome Center. First trip to the hotel was at 11am but Kuya Alec said we can join the employees’ boat at 9am. So we were at the resort as early as 10am swimming in the beach. Check in was at 3pm but we were given room at 12nn. Such a breeze.
Our favorite were the heated pool. We were at the pool and the beach from 10am to 8pm. The weekend fire dance show was awesome.
The breakfast food was so good and variety is wide. I love the whole truffle cheese wheel! Check in and check out were a breeze. Miss Jelay, of Front Desk was so accommodating to my hyperactive toddler. Also Ms Vanessa and Ms Daphne. We will definitely go back again
In the websites says check out time is 12 but we’re inform to check out at 10 plus you have to pay 400 for the parking fee and 300 for the cleaning fee. We are not aware about that. The room is ok you get what you pay for.
The Dusit D2 offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for those seeking comfort and relaxation. While the amenities are well-designed, I found them to be a bit limited if you're the type who enjoys a variety of activities. The hotel features a pool, which is nice, but could feel a bit underwhelming if you're someone who craves more entertainment options.
On the bright side, the 24-hour gym is a great perk for fitness enthusiasts, and the gourmet shop adds a touch of luxury for those looking to indulge in premium snacks or specialty items. Beyond these, however, there aren't many activities to keep you occupied, so it’s a space that caters more to relaxation and personal time, often spent in your room.
Overall, Dusit D2 is ideal for a serene stay but might feel a bit too quiet for those who easily get bored. More in improvement on the food please, there’s no menu that sticks out or you want to try again.

AAvid_TravelerPros
- 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.
AAlyaaa23It was our first to experience the Pearl Farm and it really exceed our expectation🥰 We had a great time staying at this resort the relaxation, the comfort of their food from breakfast to dinner with snacks and unli drinks, the peace given by the place we felt so well rested, and the staff were all nice and friendly especially to our toddler she really enjoys talking to every staffs she met. The best resort we've ever stayed and we couldn't stop talking how great the place and all people. Surely we will return and stay longer soon.
GGuest UserDisappointing Family Stay Despite Beautiful Resort
This was our first time staying at Dusit Thani Plantation, and unfortunately, it may also be our last. While the resort itself is beautiful, with excellent amenities and friendly staff, the overall service and experience were very disappointing.
Check-in: We had to wait an extra hour before our room was ready. This was very difficult as we were traveling with two babies who were already tired and needed to rest.
Food: Dining was one of the biggest letdowns. We expected high prices, but unfortunately, the quality did not match. During breakfast, the ham served was spoiled, yet instead of apologizing, the staff insisted that the smell was just “because of spices.” I pointed out it tasted sour, but the head chef defended it after tasting himself. Other food items were bland, and our T-bone steak, ordered medium well, came out completely well-done.
Room: The room itself was cozy, but our sleep was disturbed by noises coming from the ceiling at night—sounding like cats or rats.
Service: Staff were polite but very slow and unorganized. I had to ask multiple times for our bags to be delivered, and in the end, I had to walk all the way to reception to collect them myself. Transportation carts were too few to accommodate guests, and the overall check-in experience was the worst we’ve had—no welcome drinks were provided even though they were supposed to be included.
In summary, Dusit Thani Plantation offers a beautiful environment and facilities, but service, food quality, and guest handling fell far short of expectations. For the price paid, we expected a smooth and relaxing family getaway, but instead, it turned into a stressful experience.

YYkhca_TravelsWe arrived a bit late on our first night and were accommodated poorly. After a long day of travel, we encountered several issues with our room arrangements. I had booked two rooms, expecting them to be close to each other, but that was not the case. As a family travelling together, we requested to have our rooms swapped to be nearer, yet we were only allowed to add an extra bed. This was not ideal, especially since my mom couldn't stay alone in a room meant for 6 to 8 people, which I had already paid for.
When I spoke to the front desk, who I believe was the manager on duty at the time, her tone was unpleasing and lacked empathy for us as guests. It was a disappointing negotiation. We also discussed issues with the internet connection, and she seemed unyielding, suggesting that nothing could be done except to pay for a data plan, for which they would provide a modem.
Having stayed at many hotels and being a hotel manager, I can clearly say that our service was inadequate.
