Just around the corner from Hotel Iris is Hotel Occidental.

Here is the flyer from the hotel.

This nice lady helped me with all the information. They have Internet for $1/hour. The prices with and without breakfast is on the second part of the flyer.

For other David hotels go here.

Note that the second price includes a $6.00 per person chit for breakfast.

There are several Internet cafés nearby for $0.50 per hour.

Their rooms at the front of the hotel are very nice.

I thought I had said that the prices on the flyer were with and without breakfast.

Thanks for making it clear.

[...] I wrote a while back that my DVD player had died. I found out that the place to take Sony equipment is a shop that is just past the lobby to the Occidental Hotel. I took my player in Friday and they are going to tell me next week if it can be fixed and how much. [...]

Hello Don,

It is great to see you have put such great efforts in helping fellow Americans find information online for Hotels in David. It is a shame thought that half the comments I have read are from people that only seem to criticize and take your efforts and Panamanians for granted. I nver knew people were so greedy, self-centered and rude. Funny how they come to a different country, are welcomed here, and only seem to complain about everything. There is a saying that says “Gringo go Home.”

I’m sorry to vent, it is just very frustrating to read all these inconsiderate comments. Just because we are American doesn’t mean we are royalty here, infact, we are the immigrants. Start to respect the natives, they are valuable.

Hi Marjorie,

Some complaints are valid. Those can be helpful. Others are just complaints. I try to learn from the first and ignore the others.

Thanks for stopping in and taking the time to leave a comment.

Sorry but you need to contact the hotel and not this blog. I put the information here for informational purposes. The Hotel contact information is in the post.

I just called to make a reservation and they say the price is $29 per nigh. Is this ‘normal’ for Panama? I called two other hotels in Panama City and when I want to make a reservation they are a grater price than what is on their web site…

These prices were at the time of the original post which is now almost two years old. I haven’t gone by all hotels to see if the prices are current. That is why I recommend you asking prior to reserving so you don’t have any surprises.

Hi..just found your site..planning a visit to David and area in November 2008..looking for vacation/investment property and some R/R…any great ideas for beachfront places to stay?

Not really. If it is on a beach, it has a possibility of being a little pricey. You might ask on the Thorn Tree site.
