Red Planet Davao nails the sweet spot between affordability, location, and comfort, making it an ideal choice for couples looking for a hassle-free base during their Davao vacation. Situated right along J.P. Laurel Avenue in Bajada, its location is unbeatable. Having Abreeza Mall directly across the street makes spontaneous dinner dates, movie nights, or quick coffee runs effortless without having to deal with long commutes or heavy traffic. While the rooms are compact, they are impeccably clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed to maximize space. Couples will appreciate the essentials that truly matter after a long day of exploring the city or island hopping in nearby Samal: a remarkably comfortable queen-sized bed, strong air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a high-pressure shower with reliable hot water. The blackout blinds also guarantee a peaceful night’s rest.

This stay has been our 2nd in this hotel. We checked in late in the evening and the restaurant was 20 minutes away from closing but still the restaurant staff graciously served us delicious food. We are grateful for their service. We highly recommend this hotel for families with children. The room is huge, not your ordinary room size, clean, comfortable and close to malls, restaurants and airport. Thank you to Acacia Hotel for the warm hospitality.

The food at the hotel was delicious, with a great variety of dishes. Breakfast was complete and satisfying, with different options to choose from. meals were well-prepared, flavorful, and provided a good selection to suit different preferences. The hotel has a very convenient and accessible location. It is very near Bankerohan Market with many restaurants and food establishments just a short distance away. It is also close to People’s Park and the mall, making it easy to explore the city and access everything you need. Overall, the location is one of the best things about staying at this hotel. The hotel is very clean, well-maintained, and has a pleasant, fresh fragrance throughout the property. The staff and crew are very accommodating, friendly, and always willing to assist with every request. Every request was attended to promptly, with immediate action taken to ensure our needs were met. The excellent service and accommodating staff truly made our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

My stay in this hotel is good. They provided the basic necessities, good bed, good sheets and linens, basic toiletries. They also provides glass and water dispenser outside the room. aside from that, it is conveniently located near Mcdonalds and Jollibee, watson’s, mercury drugs. Some problems encountered were only 1 elevator is functioning, and its a bit slow. bath towels were really old, easily damaged and were darkened in color.

The room was big and AC was in good condition. There was coffee and mugs but no drinking water and electric kettle provided. Pool was a bit dirty too. Room and CR is wide. I love the big mirrors as well. Overall experience was great. Sulit ang bayad dito. Great location as well. Will surely recommend this place.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The bed was soft, and I had a great sleep every night. I also liked the modern design and the beautiful view from the window. The staff were friendly, polite, and always ready to help whenever I needed assistance. The location was very convenient because it was close to restaurants, shops, and transportation. The Wi-Fi connection was fast, and the room amenities were complete and well-maintained. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends.

What to know before visiting Davao

Quick snapshot of Davao’s experiences

Davao’s most-booked activities on Klook are water activities and guided tours, and demand follows a clear seasonal rhythm. Bookings peak in August while demand is much lower around March, so the city’s year swings between lively high season and quieter months.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data show August as the busiest month and March as the quietest. Prices drift through the year: Klook’s data indicate December is typically the cheapest month while May is typically the priciest, and prices rise and fall independently of demand at times. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for December or the calmer months around March–May; for full peak-season atmosphere go in August when demand is highest. Note that some months (for example late-year versus mid-year) can show higher demand without the very highest prices, so check both crowd and price trends before you decide.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States who book Davao experiences on Klook tend to finalise plans about five days ahead, with some booking as late as two days before travel and others booking earlier. If your trip is under a week you can stay flexible and still find activities on short notice; if you prefer peak-month travel in August consider securing popular water activities or tours earlier to lock in choices. Use Klook to compare timing and pick options that suit whether you want lower prices or peak-season energy.
