David hotellia

Plussat: If you are in David - stay here! Everything from the lobby, the facilities, the staff, the dreamy beds, sparkling clean bathroom, restaurant ... world class 100% and perfect location!

Miinukset: Loved everything!

Plussat: Keskeinen sijainti. Hyvä sänky. Mukava, pieni uima-allas.

Plussat: The staff was very helpful with finding a pharmacy on the Sunday of presidential elections Service was prompt and efficient

Plussat: Clean hotel, with good amenities. Love the sauna...It’s David, so not a great place for travel, unless it’s work related.

Miinukset: A little older, but decent condition.

Plussat: Courteous, friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable.

Plussat: Clean, modern

Miinukset: Smell of humidity... Would be helpful if they use dehumidifiers to keep the small of humidity Down

Plussat: We didn't have the breakfast buffet but what we did have was very good. We also had lunch and dinner which were also very good. Huge portions.

Miinukset: Nothing, we found everything to be exactly as described.

Plussat: The pool looked nice and the food at the restaurant was ok. The room was fine, standard business hotel I would say. The bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: The neighborhood is not very nice and did not feel safe at night. The staff was not very friendly and when we ask if there was anything to do in David the only answer was: go to Boquete. There was mold on the shower and black hairs in our bed.

Plussat: Absolutely the best breakfast

Plussat: Convenient, safe and free parking with a security guard. Good breakfast. Fast room service.

Plussat: This is not a luxury place, but price quality wise, it's a nice and quite place, away from the confusion of the city but still near to the highway. The owners are very friendly.

Plussat: Great folks. Great value. 3rd time staying there, so that should say it all. You have to pay cash for your stay, so make sure that is in your budget.

Miinukset: For a place that has "Breakfast" in the title, the very sweet woman doesn't know how to make an omelette. It's hard to complain at the price, and I adore these folks, but this is bare bones. the towels are scratchy the shower is suicide, but the room is cleaned everyday and the AC is cold. the other negative is that this place is better if you have a car - there is a restaurant within walking distance, but you have to cross a the PanAm highway to get there.

Plussat: Friendly people...offered great local info.

Plussat: The meals were excellent. Loads of fresh fruit, coffee-tea, juice, scrambled eggs, toast-jam... I don't speak Spanish well or Italian (the owners are from Italy). Eric the son who manages the property and is always there speaks english beautifully. Bruno the father is very handy and is always available to crack open one of the coconuts from the trees on the property for a quick drink. One can pay for dinners which were all top notch. Great salads, fish one night, pasta another, pizza etc..

Miinukset: Nothing except I'd say you do really need a car to get around quickly to explore .

Plussat: A very nice family; very good breakfast, excellent coffee, fresh garden fruit - even cut a fresh coconut for me when I merely mentioned I loved the water. Donatella makes great coffee, too. It is possible to do your laundry on the premises - much needed in our case as we came here straight from the jungle. Wifi excellent. They even have a pool for relaxation, which we did not expect, so that was a super surprise. The area is very nice and safe, feels upscale in comparison with the chaotic David or Bugaba.

Miinukset: The area is a bit far from the pueblos and one needs a collectivo to go anywhere - which is not bad because they run all the time. Not much to do in the evening, so bring your reading.

Plussat: Eric and Jessica were very nice and accommodating. There is a menu with Italian food. even though Jessica is Columbia she really knows how to cook pasta like a real Italian. Delicious!

Miinukset: All the Satty TV channels were Spanish, I would have liked English channel but no big deal because we were gone most of the day and night.

Plussat: The grounds we're exclusive and a relaxing change to the hustle and noise of David and the staff responded to or neefs

Miinukset: Nothing this was a perfectly relaxing vacation for us

Plussat: We loved the family, very hospitable would highly recommend, went out of way to acomódate we recommend to anyone, great location to go to volcan, David, boquete or La Conception and surrounding areas, thank you Jesica E Eric

Plussat: Delicious breakfast, very clean

Plussat: My planned 1 night stay turned into a 4 night stay as I was turned away from the Panamanian border and my car was impounded. The staff kept my room open on a day-by-day basis, called the taxi each day for me to go into David, and even came to know that I liked a cup of coffee before breakfast in the morning. They were very accommodating to my 2 dogs and even did a load of laundry for me. Overall, wonderful!

Miinukset: The breakfasts could have been more varied, but they were delicious!

Plussat: Room was comfortable and very clean. Air conditioning was drawing air from a lean to type building and ran continuously and made sleeping more difficult

Miinukset: Continually running AC

Plussat: second time staying at the facility. My room was somewhat smaller and more cramped then the initial encounter in July still very nice

Miinukset: the rooms on the first floor facing the parking lot are somewhat smaller and more cramped

Plussat: Staff and cleanliness was great food and restaurant amazing

Miinukset: there is no refrigerator in the room. did not supply tea or coffee in the room.

Plussat: The staff was very nice. The location is as close as you can get to the airport in David. Breakfast was good with a lot of options for dietary needs.

Miinukset: The air conditioner in our room never cooled the room and we were too tired to go downstairs to have it repaired. Our room faced the road so their was a lot of road noise. I expected more from a fairly new hotel

Miinukset: friday night disco across the street, i got zero sleep until 3am

Plussat: The location near the airport is excellent; good protected car parking and close to reception. Staff is very friendly.

Miinukset: Some of the room furnishings are beginning to deteriorate. They changed the seats near the bar; from relaxing comfort arm chairs to very tall and unstable chairs. The courtesy drink should apply to any drink the client wants.

Plussat: Staff was great! They gave us complimentary drinks, a free water bottle and the complimentary breakfast was great.

Miinukset: The shower water never got hot, just stayed cool/warm

Plussat: Friendly staff at the reception!

Miinukset: Dark room with very little window. Very noisy - staff carrying trolleys in front of the room until late night. Very noisy air-condition. Expired food at the breakfast buffet.

Plussat: It’s near the airport

Miinukset: Bed was horrendously uncomfortable; a/c was extremely loud; there was no coffee maker in the room and coffee st the restaurant was very expensive; the luggage cart was flat; the sidewalk to move luggage through was very narrow and hard to navigate; the area was very noisy

Plussat: The minute you step out of your cab the staff is right there with it's old world charm it is just a fantastic place to stay and I plan on coming back just to stay,again it is the staff the way they treat you from the doorman,to the bell cap, to the room service

Plussat: Breakfasts were good , excellent coffee, Pool area - very nice We had a rental car so could get into David quickly to shop, etc

Plussat: Convenient.

Miinukset: Need more towels in the bathroom.

Plussat: I have visited this hotel for both business and pleasure for over fifty years. At the beginning it was THE hotel to visit or stay at in David. However, for this visit, 3 nights, it dropped. First, for a $60/night, I did not expect a great room. I did expect hot water, a place in the bathroom other than the sink to place my shaving kit and/or my wife's things. I did report the lack of hot water each morning with no result. Good thing we enjoy cold water showers! Lastly, as we were having dinner in one of the hoteI restaurants, found a very nice women's ring in the bottom of my wine glass as I finished my cup of red wine - wish I had asked for white wine. The staff was great, attentive and friendly. The room was clean but very small for two double beds and should have had a queen. Although disappointed with this visit, I hope it was a a mistake and not a sign of a slide downward.

Miinukset: Lack of hot water, finding a ring in my wine.

Plussat: Location and price

Miinukset: Odoor too old, mud. and the breakfast did not stay at the time that they said.

Plussat: Oh this hotel with it's old world charm,was just beautiful the pool and bar area is just breath taking ,wonderful art work throughout the building,casino right across the street,

Miinukset: No elevator, but the staff is there to carry your luggage

Plussat: Location, breakfast.

Miinukset: Old furniture, hot water shower.

Plussat: Customer Service was great in this place, everyone from the person welcoming you at the door, to the hotel security, to the restaurant workers and front desk personnel were super accommodating to ours need even so we arrived late when they were closing restaurants. Breakfast was exactly what we were looking for, a typical Panamanian breakfast with fresh juices, fruits, omelet station and great coffee.

Miinukset: Rooms are a bit small with big or too much unnecessary furniture that should be updated.

Plussat: The omelettes and cafe are delicious!!

Miinukset: No hot water

Plussat: Secure, convenient and has a wonderful patio pool and grill

Plussat: The complimentary breakfast is great. We swam in the pool and sat in the outdoor bar at night.

Miinukset: Many gringos come to David to shop. We had to carry everything to our room - rugs, metal dolly etc. Some hotels have a first floor storage area which is VERY helpful.

Plussat: A basic business hotel, spacious, clean and comfortable. TV has English Channel.

Miinukset: Better includes breakfast.

Plussat: Staff was very efficient and friendly. Rooms clean and functional.

Plussat: The room was clean

Miinukset: I didn’t like the bed because my partner and I didn’t fit in

Plussat: Clean, spacious, comfortable rooms with warm water as opposed to many other places with only cold showers! Great food at restaurant in hotel. Near bus drop off.

Miinukset: English information for international tourists would be helpful

Plussat: Restaurant perfect. I went there to have dinner...excellent. The hotel is very close to the bus terminal. The air conditioning system a little bit noisy

Plussat: Clean rooms with a very friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: Price vs quality

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: Close to the bus terminal. There are restaurants and cafes options in the surroundings.

Miinukset: No breakfast included.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: There was one of the guest services I did make a phone call and her answer was so rude ni cusome skill and the guard

Plussat: Good price

Miinukset: It was fine

Plussat: We liked the friendly staff. The family room Had 5 beds and large enough for our whole family to stay comfortably,

Miinukset: Na

Plussat: Clean room, perfect for a stop over in David.

Plussat: Breakfast included would have been the minimum.

Plussat: Very good location in the very city centre. Not too far from the bus terminal either. Friendly and helpful staff at the reception desk. Large rooms with good beds. Wifi worked very well.

Miinukset: Some rooms only have a very small window in one of the upper corners of one wall, which is not pleasant. Other rooms do have normal windows. Service at breakfast wasn't very well organized (not getting what we ordered of having to ask more than once) maybe because we were served by different people… But the food itself was good, which is the most important thing :-)

Plussat: The hot water.

Miinukset: That breakfast was not included with the room price. You had to pay extra

Plussat: All

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location was good for us

Miinukset: Parking

Plussat: Service, food, facilites , all great. I would recommend It if staying in David for a short time.

Plussat: not much.

Miinukset: the staff is not friendly.

Plussat: The food here was simple, homemade, and excellent. The staff were friendly and engaging. Everything was inexpensive. The landscaping is beautiful, a true oasis. It is conveniently located to the airport, grocery, and even a restaurant across the street. The staff was also flexible.

Miinukset: Like any hostel, the property is worn and not hotel-clean. Not a problem for me, just want to point out for those people looking for something well-bleached and updated.

Plussat: Nice place and great people

Plussat: The staff was so friendly and made me feel at home after a long bus ride from San Jose. They even offered for me to move into a dorm with AC but I liked the jungle room and the people in it!

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was great

Plussat: We were only meant to stay one night and ended up staying four nights! A chilled hostel with a great hang out area that makes you feel like you’re in the jungle. The owner Greg and his staff Karolina & Ariel were so welcoming and helpful. Can’t recommend more!

Plussat: The reception desk was friendly and the animals too.

Miinukset: When we got there we had booked the tree house which we found out was entirely in the open for mosquitos without nets. We had to pay extra to change rooms. Extremely rocking bunk beds, dirty utensils and kitchen.

Plussat: Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and it's a chilled set up. It is out of David which is nice and super easy to get to from the frontera as the bus goes past it on the way to the terminal.

Plussat: It’s a very interesting place with lots of artwork including murals in common areas and just simply amazing garden filled with flowers and fruit trees a swimming pool even a typical native housing structure on stilts where I stayed for the night it’s semi open air with mosquito nets and I met really interesting people there to international travelers as well as people from Costa Rica Panama and Venezuela were there the night I was there it’s not exactly a party hostile but we did have fun that night listening to music even dancing a little But by 11 it was all over and it was a quiet night for sleeping

Plussat: This is a nice comfortable laid back hostel. If you are looking for fancy consider another option. I had a private room and it was clean with plenty of room. The shared bathrooms are basic and nice with good warm showers. Its a bit of a walk to most stuff but i dont think thats a negative.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: This hostel is a good option for a stay in David. It is not right in the town center, which I think is a good thing. A big supermarket is a three minute walk away which is very convenient.

Miinukset: The air-conditioned room had too many beds in it. There were only 3 guests in the room when I stayed at this hostel. I think the room would be VERY crowded in the high season when there would be 8 guests in the room.

Plussat: I loved staying here! The pool was heavenly. And the whole vibe of the place is just awesome. I loved how close it is to a big grocery store. I would definitely stay here again!

Plussat: Nice location, staff very accommodating

Plussat: Friendly staff, very clean. Good hot water, nice location. Laundry services.

Miinukset: Room could use some better lighting _ dim only one bed side light and bathroom dim for shaving. No shampoo or conditioner, no wash clothes. No business/computer room

Plussat: I liked that the place was clean, easy check-in and check out process and very quite.

Miinukset: Everything was great, there isn't one thing that I would like to change.

Plussat: Clean, centrally located budget priced hotel. It ticked all of the boxes for my overnight from Bicas Del Toro and back to Panama City. Plenty of good eating nearby.

Plussat: Didn't have time for breakfast, but supper meal night before was great. We really liked this hotel, the renovations done were awesome with the highest quality. My husband and I and loved the wood doors, desk, and was very clean and comfy. Great shower also.

Miinukset: No ice bucket.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: Pillows a little hard

Miinukset: The air conditioning of the room was old, and it couldn't maintain a decent temperature so I was sweating most of the night.

Plussat: Just stayed for a night to catch a 4:30AM bus to the ferry to Boccas...clean, friendly staff (very patient with my very, very limited Spanish - the woman was at reception was super sweet!). Walk-able from the bus station, but I took a cab for $2 - they were happy to call me a cab for early in the AM & they provide wake up calls. Didn't seem like much around, so just good for a night to stay before catching bus, Pharmacy and a few restaurants within walking distance. Felt safe. Hot water shower.

Plussat: People are very friendly and some of them speak very good English. Very good restaurant. We would reccomend it as a good place to stay.

Plussat: Everything was fine bit

Miinukset: Everything was okay but Its says the breakfast was free in the morning which is not and make me to pay extra money about the hotel I really don't like it honestly.

Plussat: Price ,clean

Miinukset: Pillows are a little hard. Not really anything

Plussat: I liked the location for my business

Miinukset: Restaurant was closed on Sunday No staff was there to help with luggage the beds were hard as concrete slabs, no shampoo only tiny pieces of soap two towels, two pillow no extra pillows, very noisy room facing the main street had to have the A/C run all night to drown out the street noise A/C squeaked.

Plussat: Location nice, breakfast tasty although small variety. No yogurt or cereal.....quite expensive for what you get.

Miinukset: The gardens are not maintained, the lights along the pathways don't work, air-con in the room very loud, no coffee facility in the room, dinner prices very expensive.

Plussat: The beach was awesome, excellent sunsets, pool was great.

Miinukset: The facilities need a little tlc. You can tell it was a very upscale resort at one time.

Plussat: Nice views. Good AC. Pool was pleasant. Comfortable beds. Shower with HOT water.

Miinukset: Restaurant food was mediocre and a bit overpriced. Few nearby restaurants were slightly better value but only basic food. This is not a beach for swimming as there are strong riptides. WiFi was weak and didn’t work in the room at all.

Plussat: Ocean front

Miinukset: Ocean is nearly useless, waves are so high that you cannot get into water. The hotel is far, the reception closes shortly after 10pm. Air conditioners are loud, like sleeping near a tractor. Furniture in the room is poor - table, chair, and thats all. There aren't even beach towels in the room. Make sure you have the food, restaurant here is unnecessarily expensive $30 per meal, while in David you can get very high quality and extremely tasty local food for about $6.On the road to hotel there usually is a police checkpoint, make sure to have your driver's license and pasdport

Plussat: The beach

Miinukset: The pool was small There was no electricity three times during our four days stay as long as 20 minutes No small fridge in the room

Plussat: The beach is unsurpassed.

Plussat: Pleasant facility ... Somewhat off of the bearer path. Rather remote and alone from other services. The rip tides in the ocean were of concern.

Miinukset: Rip tides

Plussat: The staff were friendly and accommodating and kept the entire facility extremely clean. We arrived much earlier than the check in time and were able to store our luggage, eat breakfast in the dining room and utilize all the facilities. The room was comfortable if somewhat sparse, The food we ate in the dining room was excellent. We went on a fishing excursion one day and brought back red snapper, which the chef prepared perfectly for our dinner.

Miinukset: As has been stated before, it would have been nice to have a coffeemaker and small fridge in the room, but staff was so accommodating to anything we requested that it hardly mattered.

Plussat: Nice setting on the beach. Grounds keep up. Staff very friendly. Pool was nice with swim up bar

Miinukset: Surf was very rough. Made it hard to get in and out of the ocean

Plussat: (1) Met a couple local expats who were very nice and invited us to see their home. (2) Spectacular stars observed during several brief power outages.

Miinukset: Truly, there isn't enough space to list the negatives. Suffice to say, we paid for 2 nights; fled after one, and we still don't know where they've hidden the beach. In reality, Las Olas Beach Resort looks not at all like the glossy photos/brochures. Don't get fooled!

Plussat: It’s right on the beach and they have a great pool! They had bikes and lots of games- like ping pong and board games for the kids.

Plussat: The place was beautiful, rooms were clean, and the pool area was really nice, with padded lounge chairs & 2 pool areas. There was shade & sun to choose from.

Miinukset: The beds were hard, pillows flat, soap did not lather, and music TOO loud at the pool. Left early after asking them to decrease the loudness, but they were catering to the 3 young people, and not the 4 old people at the pool. If you want loud music, there are bars to go to.

Miinukset: Not having elevators made it difficult, but managed.

Plussat: The price is expensi for the Service

Miinukset: All, is ugly place

Plussat: Nice clean hotel with friendly helpful staff. Bathrooms are clean, with good hot water. The hotel has two properties, so you might have to walk 1/2 block to the restaurant depending on where your room is, but it is no problem. Restaurant food is good.

Plussat: Absolutely awedome the manager and the employees

Miinukset: Awesome

Plussat: Staff was really great; we arrived at 10:30 and we're able to check in.

Plussat: The customer service was great the staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about the surroundings, even ordered food for us.

Miinukset: The room stayed at wasquite old and it looked dirty to some extend especially the bathroom, the hotel didn't really have much parking space, and the space they do have is right there close to a main avenue, they do have cameras to watch over though.

Plussat: Staff was very useful and friendly... Thats more or less the only good thing I have to say. Some comments were very misleading and I had a poor experience

Miinukset: Very old, I was put in a room without a window, the smell was horrible, there was mold on the shower floor... The smell of fried food was everywhere. There were some hair on the bedroom floors when we walked in, the AC is very old and noisy.

Plussat: It served the purpose perfectly !!

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Close to the airport, spacious rooms and good parking

Plussat: Location, close to shops

Miinukset: No blankets, stairs to office.

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable, the receptionists were super nice. The room looked like on the pictures. Its in the center of David, everything is close

Miinukset: The AC was a little bit loud.

Plussat: You are rite downtown.

Miinukset: The street outside is very noisy during the daylite hours but at nite it was total quiet. Very hard to get a park during the day.

Plussat: The Hotel was super clean and the staff all friendly and helpful. We had a great stay all in all. It would be great if you offered a buffet style breakfast delivered to the room, this was the only element missing. Like some bread, coffee and juice We will stay at this hotel again no problem.

Miinukset: My only criticism is that the hotel is on a busy road and the noise from that road is disturbing through the night, better glass in the windows would be an absolute advantage. If we stay there again we will request an off road room.

Plussat: Close to the bus station

Miinukset: Staff misunderstood our booking and tried to charge us double the amount

Plussat: Close to the bus terminal, shopping & restaurants.
