Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao

The staff were pleasent. The room was comfy enough. The message service was superb. There were some options for vegetarians which was not the case with other locations in the city.

The hotel itself is old, as I was informed on the way to the room the oldest in Davao so if you are looking for modern and all that goes with that, this location is not for you. The room was clean but could be better, the future is old and needs replacing or upholstery and were not pleasent viewing.. The floors are wooden and I do not think they get swept so we'll or maybe often as we found hair strands that were not ours. Please be WARNED they have a serious ant problem..they were everywhere in the room. Balcony was dirty and did not seemed to be cleaned at any part of our stay? The laundry service is a joke and very not professional..I sent two shirts for cleaning with obvious stains and they came back the same..sent them again after talking to very helpful staff at the front desk and they again came back the same.. after talking to management they did not charge me for this service which was good..but point been very unprofessional service indeed. Far to often the food at the buffet was cold when it should be hot and even when I asked for fresh hot options they just took from display to heat them, but now it is to hard and uneatable. Lastly the swimming pool is a joke, it was so dirty and had not been cleaned in a very long time, I was told that they were trying to find a pool cleaner, but I found lots in the city after googling? The surrounding seating at the pool is also not the best, old and dirty and again overridden in my opinion by ants. Overall to many issues if you have high standards.

Location very good. Food very good. Veiw was good

Showers could be a lot hotter. And somethings seamed more expensive then other. Like the buffet was very expensive and laudray service seemed a bit expensive.

Hit and miss

The room was very clean, the bed was perfect, and the wifi was flawless.

The noise from weddings was over the top and intrusive. The restaurants were about double the price of eating off property. The shower was a bit run down and the sink took too long to get hot.
