Hotels/Hostals In David Chiriqui
Jun 26th, 2006 by Don Ray
There have been so many questions lately in the Yahoo groups with questions about the hotels in David that I decided to take a long walk and take photos of the hotels. This post is to let you know that there will be an individual post for each hotel and possibly photos taken at the hotel or hotel brochures.
NOTE: Verify all rates prior to check in. The rates quoted below and on the individual pages are a best effort by me to get rates. If you use one of the hotels and the rates have changed by a large amount, leave a comment so others will know.
I will use this entry to put a summary line of each hotel. More detail information will come with the individual hotel post. When the individual post is entered, I will put a connecting URL to the associated post via the hotel name below.
If you go to any of the hotels tell them that I sent my regards and that you read about them on Chiriqui Chatter. Also it would help others, if you do use one of these hotels to leave a comment about how you liked your stay on the appropriate hotel’s post
If there were any hotels that I didn’t put in this set of posts, then I probably wouldn’t have stayed there.
All the following include a private bath, hot water, and cable TV.

HOSTALS:
Wow - you were a man with a mission today! Very impressive!
Wanted to ask - did any hotels other than the Panama Rey and Puerta del Sol have elevators?
Linda
Yes. I am one pooped puppy.
On the elevator subject, I don’t know, so I won’t say. I didn’t see any others.
Hi Don,
We really enjoy your blog and don’t miss any of your updates. With regards to the Hotels, we have stayed at the Castilla (no elevator), but good service, restaurant, and secure parking.
We met a german fellow at the hotel that overlooks the park (Iris maybe?), where they always have 2 beers for a dollar. He was staying at the Pan-American hotel on the Highway and said the rooms were nice, clean and with air, for I believe $19.00 single. I could be wrong about the name, but it was something along those lines.
Thanks for stopping in.
Iris is across from the park.

Hi Don Ray,
I am retired and living in Canada. I plan on moving to Panama sometime this year. I came across your site and found it helpful.
I want to thank you for all the effort that you put into getting the information, to help others.

Hey Don,
I am headed to Panama (Panama City then David) to see my mother’s side of the family for the first time and have been searching for some source of information on the hotels in the area for hours. Your posts have made things a heck of a lot easier for me. I probably won’t get a chance to meet you while i’m there due to my tight schedule, but I justed wanted to thank you for the ground work and time you’ve put in, giving us the info on lodging in the area. Hope to write a bit more while i’m there and to let you all know how the trip went and what experience I had in David.
Sincerely,
Chris P.
Hi Chris. I am glad that you were assisted by the posts I did on the David Hotels. If it helps then it accomplished what I intended.
Greetings,
Your site is so very helpful, I’m hoping that you or one of your readers can help me find my uncle, who lives in David. I’d found him by chance while in Panama a couple of years ago. I visited him again about 6 months ago and he wasn’t very well. The phone #’s I have are not good. I was able to contact him from a David phone book listing under “L.Kirwan”. His name is Harold. We’d noticed a “se vende” sign on the house, and I’m hoping that they haven’t moved.
If someone can send me a # from the David phone book I would be so very appreciative. Thanks in advance!
Sharon
I will forward the # via email.
Thank you Don.
Don Ray I have been a follower of your site for several months and find it to be the best source of useful information that I have found about the David area. Thanks for the information about David Hotels save me so much time and effort
Thank you for your help it is apprechiated

You are welcome. If you use one of the hotels, please leave a comment . It will be valuable to others.
Great work on the hotels.
I will be visiting for a few days to do the Costa Rica tourista shuffle!
I am looking for updated information on wireless internet access in hotel rooms.
Do you know which hotels have wireless internet in the rooms so I can work from my laptop? Do you know the speed of the internet access in some of these hotels? Any info would be appreciated.
Muchas gracias,
Brian
San Jose, CR
I know that Hotel Nacional has wireless, but it also charges an exorbitant rate to use it. I think I have heard that Hotel Iberia has wireless, but don’t know for sure. If there are others, I am not aware of it.
TGI Fridays has Wireless and so does the bowling alley.
