“Waterfront Insular Hotel”

The Waterfront Insular Hotel in Davao, Philippines may not be considered a five star property, but what makes this hotel feel like a five star hotel is the staff. I have been staying there for the two years I have been traveling to Davao and have never been disappointed on any level. Reserve a pool view room to wake up and go to bed with the ambiance of what the Philippines has to offer. Take full advantage of their expansive breakfast buffet and enjoy either Cafe Uno or Pizziaiolo restaurants or order their fare from room service. In either case, in all cases, you will enjoy your stay.

Area recommendations
I found all areas of the city to be safe and friendly.

“Our Favorite Hotel in Davao”

We have stayed at this hotel several times in the las 2 years. The people they are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are large and comfortable. The grounds are very well kept and we always enjoy walking around them. We always book a room with the free buffet which is wonderful. The only drawback is that the hotel is about 20 minutes from the malls and there does not seem to be much to do around the hotel. It is close to samal island though if you want to get adventurous.

Area recommendations
The area close to the APO View hotel seems to be better if you like to be close to resturants and parks.
Getting around
Taxi's are cheap and the drivers honest.

“No Wherewithall with staff, yes you and don't act”

The hotel and its property is beautiful, we even witnessed a wedding while swimming in the pool, that's how beautiful & clean the hotel is. Staying only one full week, we were told that we could stay in the same room the entire week, but instead we had to move twice (we were there for a medical mission which was the 2 days in the middle of our stay). Then our room key wouldn't swipe 3X, front desk said it's my fault with the cell phone, the one I didn't have. It also happened to another friend in a different room. Whenever I'd ask the front desk a question they'd respond "yes", but no follow through, Pretty infuriating, chalked it up to the workers probably not being worldly travellers.

“Waterfront Insular Davao”

Nice hotel. Complimentary buffet breakfast was excellent - they had pastries that were just right out of the oven - my husband ate a lot of those! The restaurant attendants were great!!!

Area recommendations
Davao city is a very safe city so anywhere would be good.

“Pleasant surroundings”

Quite an old hotel sitting in its own spacious grounds. View of Samal Island from the beach front, though the beach is not really useable or advisable for swimming as it is sharp rocks/stones and not sand. Deep swimming pool, but not enough shady places to sit (4 only). Attentive staff. Rooms are comfortable and airy - hardly needed the air-con most of the time. Breakfast ok, though they charge for any tea other than the ubiquitous Liptons Yellow Label that infests the planet. Meals are expensive by Philippines standards though reasonable by Western standards and pocket. No safety box in the room, though there is at the front desk. No free internet and use of same is expensive by any standards - should be free these days. Took ages to check out as we had been double charged for a couple of items, so check your bill! Allow 2 hours minimum to get through the Davao airport queues and bureaucracy, even on domestic flights.

Getting there
Philippines airports all charge an airport tax, which varies between 200 (Davao) and 700php (Manila)(may be more or less at other airports), so allow for this in your foreign currency - plus the queues at the tax payment counter and the queue after it for another jobsworth to check you have paid it. Leaving Davao airport takes time as there is a queue to enter the airport via security, the normal queue at the check-in, the tax payment queue, the check you have paid it queue, the passport and onward security check queue. You need 2 hours even for domestic flights, so don't leave it too late otherwise they close the check-in.

“Best place to go before a chiropractor session”

train your employees about customer service. your chambermaids needs to smile rather than frown. a quick good morning or good evening will help.

Area recommendations
downtown area or samal island like pearl farm resort. more relaxed.

“Not impressed, over rated”

Totally disappointed with the service. They are still using thermal paper for their fax machine. They lost the most crucial page of an incoming fax. The hotel ran out of prepaid internet cards. The buffet breakfast included in the room prize was mediocre at best. Menu selection was minimal. If I have to go back, I will be looking at another hotel to stay at.

Traveler's tip
Always enquire about their internet facilities, whether there is fax facilities and most of all if there is a business centre.

“Cool Sea Breeze and Soothing Waves”

The Pirata Bar at the jetty has a great view of the Davao Gulf. The cool sea breeze and the soothing waves are just great. The grilled food at La Parilla is good.
