Fodor's Expert Review Gran Hotel Nacional
1st St., David, Chiriquí, Panama
Rooms are spacious at this central landmark hotel, popular for its facilities complete with a pool, gardens, casino, movie theater, three restaurants, and two bars. Recent in-room upgrades include rainfall showers, soft linens, silk throws, and strong Wi-Fi. Front rooms have views of the large trees that shade the parking area. The garden pool may be the most pleasant spot in David. Its three restaurants include a cafeteria, pizzeria, and an open-air Barbacoa, which serves a small dinner selection of meat and seafood.
