But the major, for me, reason why I will not stay there again is the spotty wifi, AND NO HOT WATER! When I inquired about it, they said they would fix something in the basement. Still no hot water. A maintenance guy came in and all he did was turn in the shower faucet and let it run. He said it would eventually turn hot. First of all, that is a total waste of water. And second, after all the wasted water, it didnt turn hot at all!
So if hot water is important for you, dont stay at this hotel.



The breakfast was pretty good and there were a lot of people because the hotel is right in the center of the city, close to People's Park. There are massages and bars nearby in the evening. But you have to walk some distance to eat and shop, but it's not very far. The swimming pool has been repaired and is relatively large. It only closes at 9pm, which is quite good. The hotel is very big, and everyone is very polite and polite, always smiling. Except for the lady at the front desk, I haven't seen a smile after staying here several times. Parking at the hotel is convenient, but there are often many meetings. Worth the price.

The dinning area where a buffet is set up was cool, smelling good and no insects flying around. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. Very attentive service. Reasonable priced food both for the buffet and ala cart menu.
Enjoyed the hotel's bar at night. The Blue Moon. Drinks and karaoke.
There is no swimming pool. There is a large garden where one can eat al fresco.
Overall a very good experience.
The food is eatable and the buffet is ordinary at best.
Wifi is very hit and miss.
After complaining many times about no hot water for the bathroom, I was told many different stories.
Today I am checking out after 4 days with out any hot water.
So if you enjoy the basics like hot showers, avoid this place.
It is worn and tired.
It needs a make over about 4 years ago.

Aside from this, the evening went well. We had a reserved table with a name plate with our rose, teddy bear and two glasses of wine. The staff were attentive to our needs.
The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Waldorf Salad (even if they forgot the beets!), the various pates and cheeses and crispy bread wafers, the tempura fish, slow cooked pork and the roasted rack of beef. The beef was exceptional, my complements to the chef. There was so much more on the buffet but I had to select what invited me! The gravy was also exceptional with black olives, cherry tomatoes, and tiny potatoes, Dessert and fruits too were plentiful and the chocolate ones were not sweet and very rich in chocolate. Could it have been Malagos chocolates. I had to pass on the halo-halo even if I was so tempted.
The entertainment, acoustic band and the live singing group , helped make the evening special.
Thank you Apo View for making this a memorable Valentine's Day.
Upon check-in, I moved 4 times because the rooms' AC is not working.
Furthermore, 5 power interruptions were experienced in a span of 30 minutes without notifying us. I called up the front desk about power interruption, and they told me that they have maintenance. The problem is I was in an online meeting and I kept disconnecting. The front desk informed me that after 30 mins no more power outages but it became more frequent. I understand that they need to undergo maintenance but at least they have notified us.
I had the same experience in 2016 or 2017; I was moved 3 times in the middle of the night because the ACs of their rooms were not working.
Internet is fair but I think you need to re log-in every 2-3 hours. There are times you will get disconnected.
What I like about this hotel is its friendly and helpful staff.
Will I come back again to this hotel? Nope.
The buffet has so many choices and all the food is prepared and cooked to perfection. And there is always hot water in our CR. I stayed in a different 5 star here in Davao n no hot water.
Also everyone at reception is so friendly n helpful. We have been here a few times and never have been disappointed!!
