Finde Hotels in Balboa

After reading multiple reviews we decided to book the Balboa Inn for a one night's stay before flying to Bocas Del Toro from Albrook Airport. There was nothing to suspect that the place we were booking was anything out of the ordinary small hotel. However, as our Uber drove through an obvious housing subdivision we wondered what we were in store for! We eventually realised that the ”inn” was half of a duplex house! OK, no problem, it's only for one night after all. We were greeted by William at the front desk - very friendly and showed us to our room. Upstairs with two heavy suitcases wasn't fun, but okay. Our room (I had requested a Queen sized bed) was very plain but clean. We had a queen bed plus a single. The bed was comfortable but dressed only in a bottom and top sheet - the air conditioning sounded like a plane taking off, but it was too hot not to have it on overnight. There is a lovely small pool in the garden area which was refreshing. The room was not particularly sound proof but we slept reasonably well. We walked to a nearby restaurant (more of a bar and grill) for dinner which was delicious (Balboa Food Court). My rating of 3* was more about the facilities and the quality of the premises than anything - good value for the money and good location for ease of access to Albrook Mall and airport but you can do better in town.

We loved the location next to Panama canal and our view from balcony to passing ships and Bridge of the Americas. The staff was very friendly from kind receptionist to attentive bartender and they were all smiling and waving to our little son (4 months) every time they saw us. Gym was airconditioned and clean, opened till 12 am, swimming pool big and refreshing with sunbeds and umbrellas all around. Breakfast (7 usd per person) rich, tasty with good selection of fruit, chicken, saussages, ham, cheese and eggs. Free luggage room (even for couple days when we flew to Bocas) and shuttle to mall nearby. A taxi or uber cost 4 dollars to the city center or the fish market (Mercado De Marisco Cinta Costera). We made a great choice to book this hotel.

Ich hatte die beste Zeit, in diesem Hotel zu bleiben. Die Zimmer waren immer sauber und frisch. Das Personal war sehr angenehm und freundlich und immer bereit, zu helfen. Einige bemerkenswerte Erwähnungen beinhalten die Hauptkonzern Diana, die sichergestellt hat, dass alle meine Touren im Zeitplan waren, und die eine besondere Geburtstagsüberraschung in meinem Zimmer organisiert hätte. Der Canal bistro war immer zum Frühstück mit außergewöhnlicher Service von der Mitarbeiter insbesondere José und Fabio, die sehr angenehm und professionell waren bei der Erfüllung ihrer Aufgaben. Das Abendessen im Restaurant Ancon Hill war auch sehr gut mit ausgezeichnetem Essen und bemerkenswerten Service von Sergio, der sehr warm, freundlich und professionell war. Insgesamt habe ich meinen Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel und meiner Frau gründlich genossen und werde sicherlich wieder hier auf unserem Rückreisebesuch nach Panama bleiben.
