Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao - Samal

The hotel is fine. there is no great waterfront to speak of but it's a good value hotel in Davao

its really a super hotel my only quibble is the the courtyard view rooms have no net curtains apart from that the quality of the breakfast and the attentive staff make this a very good choice the pool is fine and the beach great with lots of boats there on offer to take you to the islands there s a great Friday beach buffet with a super band playing […] acoustic old numbers using twelve string and six string guitars its v good value for money Lisez la suite

This hotel used to be the "Davao Insular Hotel" and had an excellent ranking before the "Waterfront" chain acquired it.This place has been around for a long time and while the landscaping and the beachfront atmosphere remain great, the hotel itself has not been upgraded to a level consistent with a hotel of a similar rating. Also the Breakfast buffet […] includes foods that obviously were leftover from the day or days before, not a good idea. Lisez la suite

our experience in waterfront hotel is great...i didnt expect too much but when we got there our expectation exceed to the highest level....the hotel is clean&fresh,the surrounding area of the hotel felt like your away in paradise...food is great,there b'fast is so yummy, staff is great, highly recommended to all especially young family

The staff working in this hotel are all very polite and attentive. The appear so cheerful and helpful and this is so refreshing. They add sunshine to the guests. One major disappointment though is the absence of an 'activities desk' at the lobby. The desk would have helped guest organise activities like trekking, sight-seeing, island hoping and sea […] sports. Guests are left to fend for themselves in locating these activities elsewhere. This proved time-consuming. The beach area could do a little sprucing up too. It was deserted during my visit. That was a shame considering the fact that the hotel looked very well kept.

Although a little way out of town, the hotel was like an oasis, with manicured lawns and gardened. The room I had was large and spacious and extremely comfortable. The facililities; swimming pool and dinning areas were excellent. The staffs were always very pleasant greeting you with a smile and greeting. This is my second stay at the Waterfront Insular […] Davao and it wont be my last. Lisez la suite

Excellent staff especially the security and wait staff at the bfast buffet. They were extremely courteous and helpful. The rooms were adequate and clean and its a very low key and peaceful resort. The pool is a bit small but deep (10 ft). I found my breakfast really enjoyable looking at the beach every morning and its only about 120 pesos for a cab […] downtown. I would return again on my next visit. Lisez la suite

This was my second visit to this hotel and only for 3 Nights where as last time was a long period. Unfortunetly nothing has changed in fact I would say that the service was even worse than last time. The hotel uses trainee staff who have to attain so many hours for grauduation without pay and therefore not really interested in guests but only interested […] in obtaining their hours. Years ago this was the best hotel in Davao City but now there are many many hotels far better and cheaper than the Insular. The only reason I would stay here again is for the peace / gardens and views of the gulf estuary. Very expensive for what you get. Lisez la suite

Five star rating in my opinion. Room excelent.. The staff polite friendly and helpful. Four resturants to choose from. Close to airport. Highly recommended.

You have to appreciate that this Hotel is located in a Third World country. Neighbourhood, outside Hotel Compound, is not clean, and buildings are seriously below first world standards. Hotel staff are very friendly, and will go out of their way to assist. My only complaint is that my room overlooked a very rusted and old rain shelter which ran the […] length of the hotel front; so my view was poor. Food is excellent, and Ma Fee (Marie) in main dining room is surperb. Lisez la suite

It says it has a private beach well that's true but it does not tell you it is unsuitable for swimming. It says has fitness center well no fitness center. It has a great swimming pool but only if you can swim as the shallow end is 5ft. Food and drink is very expensive and menu does not change very often. The hotel is expensive for what it offers and […] there are better hotels in Davao City which offer more at a cheaper price. Very disappointed with this hotel. Lisez la suite

The scenery around this hotel is amazing and that still does not do this place justice. The staff at this place will make you feel like you are royalty. I will have to say that the internet didn't work for 2 days and the one day it did work it was extreemly slow. The bath tub had a rubber stopper that didn't do a very good job of plugging the tub. The […] bathroom sink's drain opening was jammed and I could not free it up. I was forced to shave and leave the dirty water in the basin. When came back to the room they did resolve the issue by removing the mechanical drain opener but I no longer had the ability to fill the basin with water. The food at the resturants was amazing and the bars were very well kept. I wouldn't normally complain about the small issues I had with the bathroom but for the amount of money this place charges for rooms, one should not encounter these types of issues. Lisez la suite

If you can get through the front desk without pulling your hair out you will find on the hole that this hotel is good for relaxation. Apart from reception the only other concern is the housekeeping. especially the cleaning of the bathroon and toilet, Food and drink are expensive in the hotel but one is supposed to be in a good class hotel but one does […] question it at times. On the whole wwould recommend this for peace and quite but do not expect too much as you will be disappointed. Lisez la suite

The hotel is well located, has a very pleasant staff, good rooms and in room services, and a couple of good in-house restaruants with a superb breaksfast buffet. However it lacks the following: - no reliable wifi access - weak signal in the one free access area (lobby) - the gateway is down most times - in room wifi is very expensive for the slow speed […] and unreliability offered.

Hotel stuff very nice and kind. they make me very comfortable. And in side hotel nice view. especially breakfast is very good. It is a buffet style and all-you-can-eat. But Thinking recently cannot wipe feeling that equipment has become old.

プライベートビーチはあるが遊泳禁止、プールのみ。部屋は広く、ベランダ付。ベッドはキングサイズで大きい。アメニティは歯ブラシ、シェーバー、綿棒、ローション、シャンプー、石鹸、スリッパ。電気ポットありでコーヒー、砂糖付。レセプションで日本語を話す女性がいるので、不便はない。ハウスキーパーや他のスタッフもフレンドリーで感じは良い。朝食はバイキング、種類も多く満足。レストランやカフェ、バーもあり夜も楽しめる。沖合いにあるバーはムードもあり良いのだが、海がとても臭く興ざめ。ホテルから通りに出るまで5～600ｍは歩く。大きな敷地のホテルなので部屋もレセプションからかなり歩く。ジョリビーは通りに出て直ぐ右で近い。 市街地まで、ジープでp8～, ロビンソンデパートまで10分位、近くにSMシューマート建設中。 […] 空港からホテルまでタクシーで15分位。ノンビリ滞在し、ホテルライフを楽しむには良いホテル。 Lisez la suite

Nice hotel, got an upgrade...nice. Nice staff,good service a very friendly...There was a bittroubleto make phonecalls from the room, and internet didnt really work very well, so I didnt have to pay for that...

１．過去10年間に数回滞在したが、清掃状況が驚くほど改善した。以前は、棚でも窓のサッシュでも埃だらけだった。 ２．朝食のビュッフェもメニュー、清潔レベルともに改善した。以前はまずいサラダ中心でしかも、レタスにはドロがついているというような不潔なものだったが、今回はレタスをよく洗ってあることが明らかであった。もっとも、熱帯で無理にレタスを食べることには疑問がある。中華風の暖かいスープ、熱帯の果物など、寄生虫の心配をしなくてすむ良いメニューが並んでいたことが良い。 ３．ガードマンが常に巡回していたことも以前には無かったことである。スタッフが宿泊客に積極的に挨拶したり、荷物運びに手を添えたりする働きぶりも改善の例である。 ４．プールの水が不潔で、悪臭がした。改善すべき。 ５．以前は、テラスに出てゆ […] っくりと南国の空気を楽しめたが、今回は引き戸を開けてテラスに出ることができなかったので改善の必要がある。 Lisez la suite

ホテルのスタッフは行儀よく、しっかりと仕事をしていました。ビーチ近くで朝早く散歩するならお薦めです。部屋は中の上ぐらいでしょうか。アメニティはひげ剃りと歯ブラシがあったのが良かったです。近隣のコンビニには簡単に行けず、夜は危険だと聞きました。ルームサービスばかり使うのも気が引けますが、氷や水はもっと自由になればありがたかったです。

どうしてもダバオに行く必要ができてしまい、全く予備知識がなく泊まりました。参考になるものが全くなかったので、その一助となればと思います。　良かったところとしては、ロケーションとのんびり感。泳げないながら、海が目の前にあり、庭も手入れされていて良かったです。物価が相対的に安いかと思うので、金額は日本のホテルの半額くらいの値ごろ感でした。好みもあると思いますが、中庭にあるオープンエアのレストランでシーフードを選択して作ってもらった有頭エビのディープフライのブラックビーンソースはおいしかったです。それから、ルームサービスのフライドポテトはおいしかったです。 設備面に不安を持ちながら行ったのですが、一通り、アメニティはすべて揃っていました。パワーは弱いながら、ドライヤーもあったのでよかったです。男性 […] のひげそりは、私が宿泊した際にはありませんでした。 不満の点。サービスで置かれているはずのお水がなく、しかたなく、冷蔵庫のお水を飲みました。２泊したうちの１日は置かれていたので、そのことをお話しましたが、全く取り付くしまがなく請求をうけたこと。金額的には些少なので大したことではないのですが、非常に嫌な感じがのこりました。 朝食バイキングが付いていましたが、満足度は低かったです。ルームサービスのピザ、パスタについても、お勧めできません。 あと、全体的に私には下水？なのか建物が古いことによるカビ的なものの匂いなのか、匂いが気になったので、 お香やルームフレグランスを持参していなかったら、つらかったかと思います。 Lisez la suite
