ongoing repairs and unavailability of the amenities should be posted

I absolutely adore this hotel! The service is nothing short of superb, with staff members who are both attentive and welcoming, making every moment feel special. The facilities are top-notch, featuring everything one could desire for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was the rooftop bar and restaurant, where I was treated to an exquisite dining experience paired with breathtaking views. To top it all off, the complimentary drinks were a delightful surprise, elevating my overall experience even further. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a memorable getaway in Davao!

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

Eden Nature Park remains one of the oldest yet most entertaining parks we’ve visited over the years. They never fail to amaze us with their recreational activities—definitely worth every penny. I especially love the cool breeze and the peaceful, well-maintained surroundings. The entire park is clean and clearly well taken care of. The food is average, but we still enjoyed their buffet. What stood out even more were the à la carte dishes—super delicious! We also loved the fishing activity, and the best part was they cooked our catch for us. So satisfying! One of the most thrilling (and scariest!) parts of the trip was the sky swing. Fun to try once, but probably never again for me! 😅 As for connectivity, unfortunately, Smart and Globe signals are weak in the area. If staying connected is a must, make sure to bring a DITO or GOMO SIM card. Also, don’t forget to download your favorite movies or series beforehand—perfect for downtime, especially if you’re not into hiking. My son absolutely loved seeing the peacocks and deer up close. He was lucky to catch the deer’s feeding time and was amazed to learn they enjoy vegetables just like him. They even let us bring our unfinished Father’s Day cake in the fishing Cottage which was a sweet touch. ❤️ Overall, Eden Nature Park is perfect for meaningful family bonding. We’re so glad we chose to celebrate Father’s Day there—such a memorable experience. 100/10!

Perfect Location, near the airport and very accessible

Will book again here. The place was clean and my baby was happy spending our staycation here. The food in breakfast buffet was also good. We lived it here

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.

Good Service , Clean room with delicious breakfast.Highly Recommended!

SMX Lanang is just a walking distance here like 5-7minutes. If you want to buy things, a lot of stores are available outside, it's very convenient. It was a nice stay coz were very close to SMX where our event is, we won't think about traffic anymore coz it's a walking distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the heart of the city. My partner and I experienced excellent service, mainly when an incident arose that required us to visit the hospital. The staff were exceptionally cooperative in providing an incident report, which was incredibly helpful for our insurance reimbursement process. While the hotel is somewhat older and the amenities could be upgraded, I still felt very comfortable during our stay. I would recommend this place.
