We actually quite liked this hotel but I have to give them a bad review because we were charged twice for a one-night stay. We didn't realize it until we got home and when I tried to contact the hotel we could not get anyone to even return an email. Luckily we booked through booking.com so they were able to... More

I called to book a room for 4 so the receptionist promised a suite for $110 per night. When we arrived we were given a small room with 2 beds. Not only this, but the greatest mistake was the price given , after been told the room was $110 they charged $175 at checkout. After complaining to the receptionist, he... More

Nice old hotel. Centrally located. Close to a casino and LOTS of restaurants. Great place to go and see the city. The pool is very nice and staff is friendly. The price has gone up a bit recently but you get a nice hotel. The food is excellent.

Never wrote a bad review before, but this one was needed. We were charged for a reseration we did not make. When we went to the hotel to explain the issue, we were treated very nicely by the staff, but they could not make the decision to credit our card for their mistake, it had to handled by someone further...

Beautiful hotel with kind staffs and a wonderful restaurant serving good seafoods and Italian/American food. Price was very reasonalble. Free buffet breakfast was different everyday and delicious and they have a very clean swimming pool. David was a good location to go see other towns like Boquete or Beaches.. etc.. Shopping in David was great, too!

That’s the oasis away from hot busy David. We just were changing busses on our way to the coast, so it was the ideal place for a rest. Big friendly room with big comfy bed, aircon, nice bathroom, very clean. Refreshing swimming pool in the flower garden and a nice dinner at the barbecue restaurant. Relaxing!

From check in to check out everything was very pleasing. My room was small but clean and nicely appointed with great A/C, TV and WiFi. It was on a noisy side but it did not bother me. The hotel is a non-smoking property which I liked. It is centrally located so access to the myriad of shops and vendors is... More

Spent two nights over New Years. Close enough to the plaza to easily walk to the festivities. Far enough away to be restful at night. Rooms were comfortable. Pool was magnificient. Complimentary breakfast buffet was very satisfactory. Dinner in the restaurant was very reasonable and more food than we needed. WiFi worked well.
