Do’s and Don’ts in Choosing the Best Hotel in Davao

These days, more and more travellers are learning that big hotels with steep price tags do not automatically mean that they’re better. So you can basically expect the same thing when you’re going through the list of available Davao hotels. The sad fact is that for a lot of tourists (and locals alike) the so-called budget-friendly accommodations are not that reasonably-priced at all. So if you want to get your money’s worth you need to be a bit more creative and find the best packages that are being offered.

Here are some do’s and don’ts to remember so you can get real value for your money in search for your ideal Davao hotel:

·         To cut costs, check out their weekend packages, off-season rates, and in smaller places, pay using cash instead of credit cards.

·         If you plan to stay for about a week or more, try negotiating to get the seventh night for free. If you know where to look, you’ll find that a budget hotel in Davao allows your children to sleep in your room for half the price, and some, even totally free.

·         Your primarily guidelines must always be cleanliness and value for your money, next is the location and management attitude, all of which are easily found at the Apo View Hotel located at the heart of Davao City.

·         Find one that is strategically located at the downtown area so you can save valuable vacation energy and time you will be spending when commuting to the places you want to visit. Keep this in mind because you don’t want to leave your lodging at the crack of dawn and be unable to go back, rest and freshen up for supper just because you spent too much time in transit.

·         Try to get feedback from previous guests of the hotel to see if the management is warm, friendly and helpful, something that is expected from everyone in the service industry, regardless whether you are a first class or cheap hotel in Davao. That’s SOP, no excuses.


Finally, learn to take things in stride. After all, you’re here to relax and unwind, you deserve nothing but the best.
