David City is a convenient stopping point on your way to Costa Rica, or
Bocas del Toro. You can easily make day trips to Boquete and Cerro
Punta. It also tends to be less rainy in David City, than in other
parts of the country, so with more dependability you can plan your city
jaunts, shopping and sun intake in our glorious backyard and our unique shower
garden with our original SPLASH PAD!!

plenty of space available. If you have a problem reserving for the same
