Upon arriving at the David airport my wife and I inquired of a good hotel to stay. The Hotel Nacional was recommended and got the hotel on the phone so that we could make a reservation.

Very affordable clean hotel rooms and amenities. We liked that we could walk around at night and see some of the city and there were cinemas and stores and a casino close so we never needed to drive. The staff were very friendly! more

The Gran Nacional is a good hotel and the perfect place to stop if you are making the drive to Bocas Del Toro. It is in a great location within walking distance to many restaurants. It is by far the nicest hotel in David and is a dependable choice. The rooms are not beautiful but they are clean, have AC... more
