My father and I stayed at Balboa Heights both at the beginning and end of our trip to Panama, and thoroughly enjoyed both the stay and our hosts. Upon our return at the end of our holiday, Marijke greeted us with a warm "welcome home!" - and that is exactly how it felt, like home (only warmer than Canada in... More

My husband and I started our Panama adventure at Balboa Heights and it was a great place to do so. The location is in the quiet Balboa/Ancon area which is pleasant and well-located to PC's attractions (the Canal/Miraflores Locks, the Amador Causeway, and Casco Viejo). Marijke and Joris were also wonderful hosts. They are so nice and helpful--we felt well... More

Balboa heights was the nicest place we stayed in on our panama holiday, my only regret is that we found it at the end of the holiday and could only stay one night. I was apprehensive about staying somewhere which is also the owners house, but I needn't have worried. Marijke and Joris were the perfect hosts, very friendly and... More

My wife and I stayed here a couple of days to get accustomed to the heat and explore the city. Great choice, we strongly recommend it. A friendly Dutch couple in their thirties runs the place. The B&B is ideally situated for going to the Canal, Casca Viego, Metropilitano Park and is close to the domestic airport. The Ancon neighbourhood... More

I stayed in this Bed & Breakfast with one of my children. It is a very beautiful accommodation at a great location. The Bed & Breakfast is situated centrally for a visit to the Miraflores locks and the Canal. The old city center, Casco Viejo, and the shopping malls are easily and quickly reachable by public transport or by taxi.... More

The Balboa Heights Bed & Breakfast is an ideal place to start your Panama trip. Very close to the Miraflores locks and to the national airport (San Blas connection). The neighbourhood is nice, green and safe.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Balboa Heights Bed & Breakfast in Panama City is located in Balboa, there where the Administration Building of the Canal is situated. The house is a typical wooden tropical style home dated from '50, the period that the US governed the Canal. The backyard is the foot of the Balboa Heights, an untouched piece of jungle. Animals, such as deers, capybaras, monkeys, Toucans and many other bird species are frequent visitors of the garden. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. A large colonial style bathroom is there to share. In the mornings guests can count on a full lovely breakfast. By foot you can visit Causeway Amador to see the ships pass by through the Canal. By car you are only minutes away from the Miraflores Locks, beautiful Casco Viejo or the shopping center Albrook Mall. Want to travel further domestically by plane or bus, the domestic airport and the bus terminal are also very close by. In a few words, this Bed & Breakfast is your jungle escape in the City and very conveniently located to move further onwards after a few days of sightseeing in the City. Your hosts, a young couple from The Netherlands, will be very honoured to have you stay with them. ... more   less
