    There is nothing interesting in the surrounding area, but if you need to be in Santiago, its a great hotel. Most staff did not speak English, but I didn't expect them to. Google translate worked well.

    Very nice and clean hotel in a not-so interesting town. But if you need to be in Santiago, this is a great choice. Clean room, daily breakfast and lovely pool.

    I didn't spend too much time at the hotel to have complaints.

    My stay at Gran David was amazing. They had free breakfast and it was a full breakfast with different plating options that was able to be delivered to my room directly. The room was big and perfectly clean, with nice air conditioning to help combat the humidity. I didn't get a chance to go to the pool but it is a big pool that's in the center of the hotel.

    The wifi was non-existent in the first room we were given, but the staff were nice enough to move us to a room closer t the wifi access point, which helped some.

    The room was easily accessible off of the main highway, and had a good restaurant onsite. The dinner and the included breakfast were very good! The bed was comfortable and there was good water pressure in the shower.

    Way too expensive for what it offers. Breakfast was not really good. Hotel overall is super noisy. Stuff that works there not really friendly. Was hard to find a smile in their faces. And it was super annoying that if you ate outside that always the cats came to your table, starring at you and waiting for food.

    Dinner a la carte was really delicious.

    maybe some landscaping to block the view of the industry next door then one would be more focused on the pool area. With a little imagination and some good design and eye for detail some with a little bit of money could make this hotel a real gem To a visitor Santiago sounds so glamorous but the hotel grand David is lacking of grandeza Good luck

    we did not know there was breakfast, room was clean and efficient but lack any kind of imagination. as far as the pool goes, It wasn't particularity inviting

    THE NOISE. Our room was wonderful. EXCEPT it was directly adjacent to the outside seating for the bar. People were speaking loudly all afternoon, all night, and first thing in the morning. It was horrible. Then there were the service carts going by, the staff greeting each other, and the staff getting ice from the ice machine. This was the LOUDEST place I have ever stayed. Breakfast included was a joke. The facility was so understaffed you could not get any service. One of the three of us dining receive his food. An alleged breakfast croissant. It was cold. The cheese was not even melted. Getting coffee was beyond expectations. So sad, and sorry.

    The pool was great. Dinner at the "so-called" restaurant which was quite a "hike" away, yet part of the facility was EXCELLENT. Food and service.
