Dao Diamond Hotel

“Quiet hotel, great service & so affordable!”

Stayed at Dao Diamond Hotel for about 3 weeks with my whole family :) We are Boholanos from Australia.

Stayed at Dao Diamond Hotel for about 3 weeks with my whole family :) We are Boholanos from Australia. My husband, daughter (5yo) & i stayed in 1 room & my parents on another :) We really love the vibe. We highly recommend this place if you want to be away from the hustle & bustle of city life & just want to relax and have your own quiet time. They have a restaurant & pool onsite :) Everyday, our room gets cleaned by their friendly housekeeping staff. Great job by the way & attention to details :) Also their kitchen staff who by the way are deaf/ mute, does a great job as well. Although sometimes they dont understand what we mean because of communication barriers ( we try to do sign language by the way :) but seems to be easier if we write on a paper what we want :) Also the all reception staff which our daughter calls, “Ates”, are very friendly, shows good rapports to their guests. They also helped us along with the other hotel staff to set up my daughter’s last minute birthday party in their hall :) Last minute means it was booked 2 days before the party.. thank you! We have also met the owns/ runs the hotel which by the way runs it incredibly by giving opportunities to deaf & mute community. High respects to what you do :) Hope we could comeback again the next time we go for vacation. 10/10 ♥️

“Our favorite hotel in Tagbilaran”

When I booked the Dao Diamond Hotel, we had to call them on the phone, as they don’t do online booking. They suggested using Facebook Messenger in the future.

When I booked the Dao Diamond Hotel, we had to call them on the phone, as they don’t do online booking. They suggested using Facebook Messenger in the future. We booked a Superior room with a microwave, sink, and refrigerator. When we checked in, we asked to see one of their refurbished Deluxe rooms while our Superior one was being prepared. The Deluxe appeared to be a larger and much better room, though it didn't have a microwave or sink (they both had refrigerators). We'll try the Deluxe room next time. This hotel has mostly-deaf staff, though the girl at the front desk hears; I believe the organization that runs the hotel is right next door. A bulb inside the door of our room and another over the bed weren't working. The lighting in our room was dim. The WiFi didn’t work on my girlfriend's phone, but the desk agent was able to get it working. The safe was too small for a laptop. The bed has a sheet, which I prefer to the heavy comforters you usually get in the Philippines. The only water in the room is paid. We couldn’t find a way to turn off the bright TV, with no signal, so we unplugged it. The satellite receiver was still lit up, however. The AC is fairly noisy, and there’s some street noise too. I found a bug on the paper I was using as a mouse pad. There were more towels here than at other hotels we stayed at on this trip: face, hand, and shower ones. There was lots of counter space in the bathroom, but it was otherwise tight. The toilet paper was rather weak. A la carte breakfasts were 200 pesos each. I liked my girlfriend's hot dog with rice: it tasted a bit like an English/Irish breakfast sausage. When we ate dinner at Kahiki Café the food was well prepared and the fries were outstanding. You have to write out your order for the waiter. We didn’t try the pool, but it looked nice. My impression is that this is a superior hotel by Philippines standards, at least if you get the refurbished Deluxe room. When we checked out of Dao Diamond, they only charged us 1,812 pesos, $33 at the time, not the $41 their website indicated. They had a tuk-tuk there to take us to our next destination. We ended up rating Dao Diamond the 3rd and 6th (me and her) best hotel of the thirteen hotels we stayed in in the Philippines on this trip, and it was the favorite in Tagbilaran for both of us. It is a ways from the town center, of course, but not too far from ICM mall.

“Hotels with a difference,”

Hotel is located out of town in a quiet spot. It is pleasant if rather dated. The difference is that staff, apart from reception are deaf. This is challenging, but once you make the effort well worth while and I applaud the hotels philosophy. My room was spacious and comfortable with good bathro… more

Hotel is located out of town in a quiet spot. It is pleasant if rather dated. The difference is that staff, apart from reception are deaf. This is challenging, but once you make the effort well worth while and I applaud the hotels philosophy. My room was spacious and comfortable with good bathroom. Greatly enjoyed feet fish spa, my feet felt rejuvenated after 10 mins attention from swarms of little fish. Also appreciated limo service to. us terminal on departure. Would certainly stay again.
