I stayed at the hotel as it was also the venue for a seminar/workshop I was attending. It's location is quite convenient with respect to the airport but I think it's far from downtown Davao City so not convenient if you have business at City Hall or other offices in the city. My room was good and had a view... More

I have fond memories in this lovely hotel. Lovely because of its gardens, swimming pool, restaurants,and ballroom. Visited Davao to attend the wedding of a relative and stayed in this hotel with my cousin. We booked a standard room with twin bed; we were billeted in the old building. The rest of the buildings are old actually because this hotel... More

This hotel is one of the higher priced hotels in the area, so you do expect a higher caliber of accommodations, food, and service. The room was outdated, with peeling flooring, a dirty, bathroom floor( which flooded after showering), and the food was average, at best. The last straw, for me, was being told that I would be charged 62... More

I am torn between this hotel and the Marco Polo. The rooms here are nicer, and larger, than the Marco Polo. Also this hotel has a lot of land that is beautiful, which includes walking trails and a private beach (although you can't swim due to pollution). It has several bars and restaurants, including a unique restaurant out on a... More

A perfect choice for business and pleasure.

Good AC in the rooms, bathroom was superb. Both my husband and enjoyed our walk along the pier and... More

After 15 years, I'm back at Davao City. Of course, I had to see the classic Insular Hotel which is now Waterfront. The place is uniquely serene, perfect for relaxation. This is my first stop at Davao City, on my way to another classic resort- Pearl Farm. I felt quite nostalgic, memories pouring in when I first stayed there late... More
