The grounds and facilities where fine. There are limited restaurants near by within walking distance, without getting harassed by the people begging for food. I felt uncomfortable outside the grounds. The breakfast was good with many options, the pool area and the staff were fantastic. Every time i walked into my room it smelt fresh and clean. I would definitely stay there again. The showers could have been warmer is my real only complaint.

I recently stayed at the Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao and appreciated the quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and convenient open parking. However, I did encounter an issue on my second day when my used towels were not replaced; instead, they were left air-drying at the end of the bed, and the floor towels were not cleaned or replaced either. I hope the housekeeping team can improve in this area to enhance the experience for future guests.
