More Than a Loyalty Program: My Discovery Elite Raises the Standard for Filipino Hospitality

Discovery Hospitality, the trailblazing Filipino hotel group behind some of the country’s most celebrated hotel and resort brands in the Philippines, is elevating its signature loyalty program, My Discovery Elite, with a refreshed suite of benefits that reflect the brand’s enduring promise: heartfelt service, meaningful connection, and a deep understanding of what makes Filipino hospitality truly exceptional.

At the heart of the update is a new birthday benefit—Php 2,000 in hotel credits and double points throughout the guest’s birth month. It’s a gesture that goes beyond rewards. It’s about remembering, honoring, and celebrating guests in a way that feels personal—something Discovery has always done best.

One of the program’s most valued benefits is early access to Discovery’s biggest groupwide campaigns, such as the Independence Day Sale and the Black Friday–Cyber Monday Sale, where exclusive add-on discounts are offered on already reduced rates. Perks also extend to major travel events like the Travel Tour Expo and the Philippine Travel Mart. Seasonal members-only sales also feature limited-time deals, complimentary experiences, and insider privileges.

Across all tiers—Blue, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—members enjoy a core set of privileges designed to enhance every stay. These include up to 20% off the Best Available Rate, a welcome voucher for food & beverage or spa credit, and complimentary welcome drinks. Members also receive spa discounts at Discovery Primea, Discovery Coron and Discovery Boracay, with percentages varying by tier and service. Additionally, a 10% food and beverage discount is extended to members (applied to the individual member only, with a max bill amount of Php 10,000), making every meal more rewarding.

These benefits span Discovery’s core portfolio: Discovery Boracay, the rebranded luxury beachfront icon in Station 1; Discovery Coron, a private island resort in Palawan’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve; Discovery Samal, the largest resort convention facility in Davao; Discovery Primea, a premiere luxury address in Makati’s central business district; and Discovery Suites, a long-time favorite in Ortigas. These thoughtful touches reflect Discovery’s signature brand of service, known as Service That’s All Heart—a culture of care that’s consistent across every destination, from island escapes to city towers.

“Loyalty is no longer just about transactions and earning points—it’s about trust, relevance, and emotional connection,” said Jun Parreño, President of Discovery World Corporation and Chief Operating Officer of Discovery Hospitality. “At Discovery, we’ve always believed that brand love is earned through consistency, sincerity, and service that resonates on a personal level. My Discovery Elite is our way of deepening that relationship—by creating meaningful touchpoints that turn satisfied guests into lifelong advocates.”

What makes My Discovery Elite so distinctly Filipino isn’t just the perks—it’s the spirit behind them. The program is built on values that resonate deeply with local travelers. Guests are welcomed like family, their preferences remembered, and their milestones celebrated with sincerity. It’s this emotional intelligence—paired with Discovery’s consistent service excellence—that has earned the group some of the highest repeat guest rates in the industry.

As a proudly homegrown brand, Discovery Hospitality continues to lead the way in shaping what Filipino hospitality looks like on the global stage. It introduced the first all-suites hotel in Ortigas, setting standards for extended stays and personalized service in the local industry. From pioneering luxury in Boracay to redefining service across its entire portfolio, the group’s legacy is built not just on properties, but on people—and the relationships they nurture.

My Discovery Elite is not just a program. It’s a reflection of Discovery’s belief that loyalty is earned through care, not conditions.

RedDoorz Reaches Out to Red Cross, World Vision to Aid Taal Eruption Victims

RedDoorz, the Philippines’ leading hotel management and booking platform, reached out to the Philippine Red Cross and World Vision to provide assistance to the thousands of residents affected by the recent Taal Volcano eruption.

RedDoorz supported Philippine Red Cross, the premier humanitarian organization in the country that is committed on various social welfare services and promoting volunteerism, by donating thousands of blankets, bottled water and hygiene kits containing soap, shampoo, and dental kits, some of the most essential items needed by evacuees who were left homeless by the volcanic eruption. The Philippine Red Cross was among the first responders on-ground to help the thousands of affected residents in Batangas province.

“We are happy to have RedDoorz join this cause and take part in our relief operations for the affected families. We need all the help we can get to help families in the affected areas. There are still a lot of things to be done,” said Philippine Red Cross chairman Sen. Richard Gordon.
RedDoorz also extended their help to World Vision, a global humanitarian organization which aims to improve lives of families and communities, and gave monetary assistance for its on-going relief operations for people gravely affected by the Taal Volcano eruption. World Vision, known for caring for underprivileged children, started a monetary donation drive to provide evacuees with hygiene kits, dust masks, drinking water, and to build child-friendly spaces to help children cope with the distress of the calamity.

As for the largest non-profit organization in the Philippines, World Vision Executive Director Rommel Forte said, “World Vision is committed to support the families, especially the children, who are in a difficult situation because of the eruption. Our response team is already on the ground and will also be distributing hygiene kits, plastic mats, blankets, drinking water and other emergency essentials in the coming days.”

“Our properties in Tagaytay have been badly affected and the communities we serve there have been badly affected as well. We partnered with Red Cross and World Vision in their relief operations so we can extend help not just to our Tagaytay communities but to the residents and evacuees of the affected towns. In times like these when so many people have lost their homes, belongings and livelihoods, and have to deal with hunger and exposure to the elements, we need to come together as one community to help those in need.” said RedDoorz’s Country Marketing Head, Raenald De Jesus.
Residents of cities and municipalities near the main crater of Taal Volcano were forced to leave their homes due to the volcanic activities and the threat of more explosions. More than 50,000 residents of towns from Batangas and Cavite had been staying in evacuation centers since Sunday, January 12.

RedDoorz Gives Underprivileged Kids Moments To Celebrate with 100 Open Doors Campaign

18 December 2019, Philippines – RedDoorz, Southeast Asia’s largest and fastest growing hotel chain, spread the joy of Christmas early this year by giving children from marginalized communities from across the Philippines access to one-hundred rooms at various RedDoorz hotels, as part of its recently launched #MomentsToCelebrate holiday campaign.

RedDoorz worked with Virlanie Foundation, Sunshine Corner Ministry of Encouragement Inc., and United Muslim, Christian and Lumad for Peace and Development in Mindanao to give one hundred children nationwide – from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao – their first-ever travel experience in the form of special pre-Christmas treats and an overnight stay at RedDoorz hotels. Under supervised conditions from qualified volunteers and child guardians, the children were chaperoned for a series of Christmas themed events including educational learning sessions, parlor games and team-building exercises.

Caleb Uy, Donor Relations Officer of Virlanie Foundation, one of the beneficiary communities of RedDoorz’s #MomentsToCelebrate campaign, said, “This experience was a great learning opportunity. Staying in a hotel for the first time and indulging in new, enjoyable activities excited the children and gave them an early Christmas memory that they’ll never forget. This was the first time that a number of them felt that they belonged as part of a larger, caring community, encouraging them to try new things.”

RedDoorz kicked-off the program in Davao City on November 23, where RedDoorz employees surprised the staff and children of the United Muslim, Christian and Lumad For Peace and Development in Mindanao - a non-profit organization caring for Lumads, indigenous people, and informal settlers in Mindanao - with an impromptu Christmas party complete with food, games and prizes. 

Virlanie Foundation kids from marginalized communities in Metro Manila were treated by RedDoorz, to an overnight stay at a RedDoorz hotel topped by a mini Christmas Party on November 24. RedDoorz also partnered with Sunshine Corner Ministry of Encouragement, Inc., a child-caring institution catering to the needs of abused, abandoned, and neglected children in Cebu City, to give the children a fun day they would never forget on November 26.

RedDoorz Country Marketing Manager Raenald De Jesus highlighted why RedDoorz wanted to give back to the underprivileged sections of the community through this initiative. He said, “These children have had a disadvantageous start in life and we wanted to give them the chance to experience a fun-filled weekend before Santa Claus sets off with his bag of goodies. RedDoorz launched its #MomentsToCelebrate campaign this holiday season to spread cheer by enabling more people to travel, and to remind more Filipinos to create quality moments with their loved ones.”

RedDoorz now has more than 200 partner hotels in over 20 cities nationwide.
