Our rates depend on the length of stay, room type, number of occupants per room and time of booking. But, to give an indication, our Internet rates are usually in the $ 75-95 range, including all applicable taxes, a full American breakfast consisting of lots of fresh fruits, yogurt, granola, freshly brewed coffee and eggs the way you like them.

To see availability & rates and to make your reservation at the Balboa Inn, check with our mooing Mabel (the cow on the right).   For a preview of how to check rates and book a room, check this video.

We have 3 room types: double (one queen bed); triple (queen and twin bed) and a quadruple room (4 twins).  We have 3 double rooms, 5 triples and 1 quad.

Please remember we are a relatively small inn. Cancellations do affect us greatly (one room represents 11% of our capacity) and we regularly have to turn away people. So make sure you read our cancellation policy. Cancellations less than 15 days before the scheduled arrival date will result in the full charge of your stay. Booking a room means you agree with this policy. To read our reservation/cancellation policy and other fine print, click here.  Of course, if we can (partly) re-book the room we will refund the corresponding portion.  Please also take note of this important observation about the company name that will appear on your credit card statement and share it with the card holder.

Airport pickup from Tocumen International airport is $ 35 for a party of up to 3 people and we highly recommend this service.  Of course, we can also arrange airport returns ($ 30) or transfers to Albrook Airport ($5).

    We loved staying at The Balboa Inn. They were so friendly and welcomed our dogs as well. This is a life saver for anyone with dogs.
