10/10 Excellent

This was my second visit to Waterfront Insular. Kind and gracious staff. Comfortable and clean accomodations. Lovely relaxing property. Excellent value.
Jeffrey, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Early accommodation would have made my stay way more than excellent. It was because i arrived earlier than expected but the checking in was not so accommodating, it was by the rule anyways, so not to blame on the hotel. All is good

Nelson, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I recently stayed at the Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao and found the overall experience to be quite pleasant. The staff were courteous and attentive, ensuring a comfortable stay. The amenities and location by the waterfront added to the charm of the hotel. However, I did notice that the floors could benefit from deeper cleaning, as they appeared a bit neglected. Overall, it was a good stay, and I would recommend the hotel with the hope that the cleanliness issue will be addressed.

Staff are very accomodating and attentive overall.
NANCY MINOSA, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The place does not have elevators, and almost everything in this hotel is dated and old. Lights are flickering, rooms are dark, food room service arrived cold and late.

Matthew, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was so hot, the air conditioning was not working well. I chose the waterfront hotel to stay in because it is the legendary hotel in Davao. I was not expecting everything to be old style. They don’t even have an elevator. Poor people who work carry our luggage using stairs to get to our room.👎
Denia Guday, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love everything. It's not a 5-Star hotel resort but we love the place, the garden , the staff and buffet breakfast.
Mary Jane, 1-night trip

It was fine, though the place is old and run-down. There was a leak in the bidet which we reported, but nothing was done. Staff were helpful though and very friendly

Very nice. Everything very good. Just not white sand beach, but no big deal. Great resort. Will come again.
Shyn Marie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I like the ambiance of the property. Lots of greenery and staff care friendly. The rooms are getting old, needs some updating and needs to have a smart TV .
Evelyn, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The property was beautifully kept. We enjoyed the older style appeal to it. The staff were polite and always ready to help you. The rooms were spacious. The two rooms we had seemed untouched by renovations, more specifically the bathrooms. Faucets were crooked, the bathtub was cracked and paint peeling off. We did not have all the towels (no bath towel, hand towel, pr wash clothes) The shower water handle didn’t operate like it should and made it hard to get warm water. We did not say anything about the bathrooms to the hotel because we are not people to complain and usually can make do. We enjoyed the in-room massage option. We were unable to get manicures due to staff not available. The food options were great. The pools were nice and the cabanas were enjoyable. Some suggestions: more cabanas around the property that have lounge chairs or even hammocks. Putting up sunshades around the property for people to enjoy outside more. Having a small book exchange (library) and/or game area (board games, card games, yard games, etc).
Kelly, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Poor lighting Unattractive view Fowl smell in hallway Limited menu Unswimmable beach Pool closed Nothing much to do or explore

My mother and sister were grateful for the fantastic services they’ve experienced from check in until the end of their stay. My mother has been singing praises after her 3-day escapade. Thank you for such wonderful reception you have shown to my family.

Insular hotel refused to refund 1 day's cost when we had to leave 1 day early. Very rigid policies.
