The only area that needs improvement is more wait staff for the dining areas. It can be a bit of a wait to get your service without tracking someone down. May have to do with lack of direct tipping that I am used to in the US where performance and customer satisfaction have a monetary reward. Also ala carte doesn't seem to be the norm in the main restaurant, so be sure to request it on the way in. Other than that, it's a very nice hotel and a pleasant stay.

The room was a bit dirty; floors, dish sink, dishes, etc. The problem was day one I ordered the Prime Burger and fruit plate. Within 30 minutes I was in serious pain attempting to remove what I ate. The burger was awful tasting and after two bites I quit. The fruit plate looked as if it were sitting out, the watermelon especially didnt look right. I was hungry and tried to eat but the attempt was a bad decision. Hotel states they will refund that meal. They charge 10 times for shuttle service vs Grab (support locals with using Grab). Many of the staff either don’t speak english very well and I needed to really slow down the pace, but still many dead stares or staff just unaware of what guest are needing. Breakfast did not look inviting and only could eat cereal with the hot milk that looked cold. No liquid creamer in Starbucks and you cannot use powder in iced coffees; and there was milk in the refrigerator but not for creaming black coffees I guess. The staff are very kind; just extremely under trained in hotel operations; worse I’ve see in similar establishments across the Philippines. The manager did attempt to but me dinner and discuss my disapproval, very nice gesture, but I kindly declined that and a free shuttle back to Davao International Airport. And if you are a couple or a single traveler like myself hoping for peace by the pool, this is not the place; many families and they are in the pool from open to close; very loud. Davao is on my PH never to return list.

Dusit Thani is a modern brand of comfort and luxury; I have stayed in their hotel in Makati, and they did not fail to deliver high quality service and hotel amenities in their Davao property; deluxe room was spacious, clean and well equipped with room features such as coffee-making machine, big-sized safe box and high-end toilet and bath amenities; we had cocktails in their podium bar, and it was a good and wholesome concoction; I will not hesitate booking this property again in my future visits to Davao.

The staff was courteous, the food was mostly good, except for their adobo which tasted a bit too different. But the cleaners sometimes either brought blood soaked sheets or didn't change them at all. We knew they didn't due to the blood stain. That and few things missing from the usual supply they change. Oh and my wife says no rice cooker, 5/10 due that.

Dusit is perhaps the only decent hotel in Davao city (excluding Samal Island) that is newer and could arguably claim a 5-star rate.
My issue remains the same as per my last stay in this hotel in 2024, that it is not clean on the exterior structure. My unit has a little patio that I never accessed for 6 days because it was riddled with bird droppings all over and the windows is smeared with it.
Window covering looked dirty as well.
Again, it could do better..

Average rate overall. The breakfast buffet and Madayaw cafe buffet dining were subpar. Not worth for the price paid - few options and food wasn't even that good. There was also some spots with water dripping from ceiling from condensation and staff just shrug it off when we complained and one of my family members had to move staff didnt even help. Overall underwhelming and not worth coming back.

I did not like how the pigeons fly around everywhere and drop poop/pee especially in the pool. And the hallway of floor 12 smelled like rotten eggs that slowly sipped in the room every time you opened the door. There was no direction from staff on how to get to our room.

Quality of the hotel itself is genuinely outstanding. We had a 1 bedroom suite on the back side of the hotel facing the water and Samal Island. Great views from that side. The other side of the hotel faces the pool, with less interesting views. The room was very clean, nicely furnished with a very comfortable bed, and a large bathtub separate from the shower. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. There is a Thai restaurant within the hotel and a bakery on the lobby level that sells breads, pastries and Starbucks coffee … a good alternative to the breakfast buffet. Swimming pool looked nice although we didn’t use it. There was live music in the lobby bar every night. It is worth noting that while the hotel itself is outstanding, the surrounding neighborhood has little to offer and is not walkable. There are a couple of nearby hotels with restaurants but little else. Nonetheless, the hotel is a good base of operations for venturing out in the Davao area (we did day trips to the mountain areas) and would be a good choice for business travelers. Overall we were quite happy and from what we saw of Davao City, I don’t think you could do any better than the Dusit Thani Residences.

Property had issues with smelly carpet. Smells damp and dated. Engineered wood or tiled floorings would be better probably on carpeted areas to get rid of that moldy smell in the hallways. Our room had tiny roaches by the coffee maker. Lots of bird poop in the pool section same goes in the balcony. Seems like it has not been cleaned for weeks. Overall the staff attentiveness and service was great. A manager with a little OCD would probably be a good addition to the team to make sure it will live up to a 5 star rating.

On March 26, upon my arrival, I found that my key card for room R802 was not working. Despite visiting the lobby multiple times to get a new key card, the issue persisted. It took 15 minutes for someone to finally open the door for me, and throughout this ordeal, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience from the front desk staff. As a seasoned traveler who frequently stays at various hotels, I must say that this experience did not meet the level of service I would expect from a 4-star hotel.

Furthermore, on March 28 around 6:20am, I discovered a cockroach crawling on the wall in my room. This raises concerns about the sanitary conditions of the room, especially considering the reputation of your hotel as a 4-star establishment. When I reported this to the front desk staff, I was surprised by the lack of empathy or proactive response. The staff simply took a picture and did not offer any apology or assurance that the issue would be addressed.
