I would like to commend on how organized this tour had been from the very start. From the email confirmation from the operator when I booked, the reminder and detailed itinerary sent via txt few days before the tour date and the flow of the tour itself. Our driver/guide Kuya Tata just made it extra by being so prompt, knowledgeable and made sure we were safe and able to enjoy the places in the itinerary fully. We truly appreciate that. This tour highlights plenty of important and famous places in Davao City. Highly recommended!

Kuya Tins helped us a lot and definetly gave us the best assistance for us to enjoy our trip. He gave also bits of trivia about the city while we travel from one site to another. The itinerary was not hectic, so we really enjoyed each site.

Kuya Jhon was super friendly and kind he helped us with photos with important information as well as communicating as and when required. He helped us with currency exchange and since we were vegetarians he took us to options suitable for us

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.

Great 4.0
experience was all good. decent place to stay and value for money. however when we asked for spoon/fork they weren't able to go out of their way and provide one for us for convenience. overall, still so much to improve but decent enough for 1 night stay.

What to know before visiting Davao

What to do in Davao year-round

Davao’s busiest booking categories are water activities and tours, so the city is best known for ocean and outdoor experiences led by beaches, snorkeling and guided excursions. Klook booking data show demand is concentrated in late summer: August is a clear high point while March is the quietest month. That rhythm shapes your choices — if you prefer lively beach and tour options, visit in the high season; if you want fewer crowds for the same activities, pick a quieter month. Choose between peak atmosphere or lower crowds — both are well represented on Klook.

When to visit Davao during the year

August is the clear busiest month on Klook, with September and November also showing strong peaks, while March is the quietest month of the year. Prices across the last 12 months rise and fall independently of demand at times: the single priciest month in Klook data is May, while December and April are among the cheapest, so crowds and prices don’t always move together. For smaller crowds and lower typical prices, consider March or December; for peak-season atmosphere and the widest activity choice, aim for August or September.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Quieter than usual USD 29
February Quieter than usual USD 29
March Very quiet USD 31
April Quieter than usual USD 19
May Quieter than usual USD 32
June Quieter than usual USD 27
July Quieter than usual USD 26
August Peak demand USD 28
September Peak demand USD 30
October Busier than usual USD 29
November Peak demand USD 31
December About average USD 19

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay: district price guide

Klook hotel booking data show a clear split across districts. The most affordable area is 74-A Matina Crossing, with a typical nightly rate around USD 39, while the priciest area is Agdao, with a typical nightly rate around USD 73 — roughly 47% higher than the most affordable district. Travellers on a budget or those prioritizing savings will find 74-A Matina Crossing suits basic and value-focused stays; travellers seeking a broader range of amenities or a more upscale urban feel may prefer Agdao. Poblacion sits in the middle with a typical nightly rate near USD 41.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book experiences several days in advance: on Klook the typical lead time is about 5 days ahead, and the earliest planners often book roughly 13 days out. That means you can usually stay flexible and book a day or two before travel, but in August and other peak months it pays to secure bookings earlier. Use Klook to lock in water activities and tours when you’ve picked dates, and check typical prices and availability early if you’re travelling in the busiest months — it keeps options open without overplanning.
