Fantastic 5.0
This stay has been our 2nd in this hotel. We checked in late in the evening and the restaurant was 20 minutes away from closing but still the restaurant staff graciously served us delicious food. We are grateful for their service. We highly recommend this hotel for families with children. The room is huge, not your ordinary room size, clean, comfortable and close to malls, restaurants and airport. Thank you to Acacia Hotel for the warm hospitality.

My stay in this hotel is good. They provided the basic necessities, good bed, good sheets and linens, basic toiletries. They also provides glass and water dispenser outside the room. aside from that, it is conveniently located near Mcdonalds and Jollibee, watson’s, mercury drugs. Some problems encountered were only 1 elevator is functioning, and its a bit slow. bath towels were really old, easily damaged and were darkened in color.

Great 4.0
Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao. The hotel has a beautiful beachfront setting, clean rooms, and friendly staff. The pool and garden areas were well-maintained, creating a relaxing atmosphere. However, one area for improvement would be guest assistance with luggage. There was no ramp available on the second floor, and no staff assisted us in carrying our heavy baggage to our room, which was quite inconvenient. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay and would still recommend the hotel for its excellent location and relaxing ambiance.

The room was big and AC was in good condition. There was coffee and mugs but no drinking water and electric kettle provided. Pool was a bit dirty too. Room and CR is wide. I love the big mirrors as well. Overall experience was great. Sulit ang bayad dito. Great location as well. Will surely recommend this place.

What to know before visiting Davao

What to do in Davao year-round

Davao is best known for Water activities and Tours, with water-based bookings leading the way and guided tours rounding out the most popular options. Klook booking data shows activity demand rises and falls through the year: July is the busiest month while March is noticeably quieter. If you want lively beach and boat experiences, plan for busier months; if you prefer fewer crowds on tours, choose quieter months. Decide between peak-season atmosphere and lower crowds when you pick travel dates, and use Klook booking data to time bookings around these seasonal rhythms.

When to visit Davao this year

Demand peaks in July while March is the quietest month; Klook booking data records July with about 18% higher demand versus a typical month and March about 13% lower. Prices drift across the year: median paid prices on Klook are lower in November and June and rise into December. Where demand and price move together, July brings atmosphere but not the very highest prices; December is pricier even if demand is closer to average. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider November or June; for peak-season energy, aim for July.

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay in Davao

Hotel prices on Klook show a clear spread across districts: 74-A Matina Crossing is the most affordable district with a typical nightly rate of PHP 2,319, while Agdao is the priciest at PHP 4,341, a difference of roughly 47% between them according to Klook booking data. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers who prioritise budget and simplicity, families or longer stays; pricier districts suit those looking for higher-end rooms or more hotel amenities. Klook booking data can help you pick accommodation that matches whether you prefer value or extra comfort.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers book experiences about 4 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 6 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can often be flexible and book a day or two before travel, but in July—the peak month—booking earlier pays off to secure popular water activities and tours. Klook shows many options still available last-minute, yet planning a few days ahead gives the best balance of choice and convenience. Use Klook to compare typical prices and lock in experiences that match your travel style.
