Top hotels in Balboa
Hotel Riu Plaza Panama
Only the bathroom doesn't lock, and the pool is awful. You can use it only if you are drinking; otherwise, you won't feel comfortable. If you travel with kids, this is not a hotel to go to.

Plaza Paitilla Inn Hotel
We had a great stay. We stayed here for one night on our way to Bocas del Toro. It was close enough to both airports to make connections quick and easy. The hotel is nice and the staff was very friendly.
