Waterfront Insular is a distance from the poblacion area; prepare to take taxis to everywhere. We came for a day visit and enjoyed the topiaries scattered around the garden facing the beach and Samal Island. The hotel staff was clearly keeping the surroundings clean and orderly in this aging hotel. Since it was a hot summer day, we relished the... More

spacious for a convention event yet you will see the aging rooms and facilities. Wish adjacent shore line are clean and not stinky.

The room was wonderful but the view wasn't nice. Try to get the more expensive of the room type since more likely, it's the one facing the waters. I booked this since I thought there was a beach at the front but alas, you cannot swim there! There are swimming pools though, so don't fret! Food inside the hotel was... More

I first stayed at this hotel about 25 years ago. And while the grounds are as beautiful as ever and the pool is an absolute delight, the rooms badly need to be brought up to speed. They are clean as a whistle but outdated and showing a lot of wear and tear. The staff are great and the food okay... More

I stayed for 6 days for business & my host came from that area but that's the only reason. As some of the other reviews have said, Davoa is pretty extensive and the hotel is right down one end by the port & airport. So its a fair hike to the city centre. Better places in town. No ocean swimming... More

We visited this hotel for 1 week in March 2012. The staff is very friendly and ready to help, the room incl. the bathroom is spacious, the interior a little outdated (but modern TV, WC). The bedding comfortable, all clean. What is missing is more light in the room - there should be a headlight in the room itself otherwise... More

The hotel is good for it's price. We enjoyed the outdoor pool and spa tub and the water view is actually nice. I only stayed for a night since I stayed at a beach house in Talikud Island and family house in downtown Davao during our stay but my cousins did enjoy their longer stay there. There are only few...

I was impressed with the service and food and everything about this hotel. It is very well priced and the rooms are very modern and clean. The breakfast buffet was terrific and included in the price of the hotel. If you stay in Davao definitely consider this hotel. The pool is beautiful as well as are the grounds and its... More

Stayed there by recommendation by another person...I wish I would have stayed at different hotel in Davao. Resturant and 90% of the establishment is NOT airconditioned. Food was very lacking. Rooms were on par with a Motel 6 in the states..The only high point was the staff.
