Pros:

Great location. Perfectly heated pool. Easy walk to beach, shops, marina, flagstaff Hill hike. Very accommodating hosts who facilitated a late checkout.

Cons:

There were a few flights of stairs to get to our apartment and no lift. Was ok for us but would be tricky for families with prams, people who can't manage stairs easily, so be sure to book for a ground floor apartment if you need.

We were two older couples and we did enjoy our stay there.
Pros:

Fabulous balcony, lounge and dining room and kitchen. Picturesque looking at palms and trees all around. Very close to the beach and nightlife.

Cons:

Stairs to first floor quite taxing for the elderly with luggage. Bathrooms could be bigger.

Outstanding accomodation, fantastic pricing and perfect location.
Pros:

Our week stay at balboa apartments was nothing short of spectacular. The apartment was spacious, very clean, modern and equipped with everything we could have possibly needed throughout the week. The pool was also very clean and well maintained. The location was perfect as well. Walking distance to the Main Street and four mile beach. The pictures online do not do this place justice! Tony was a pleasure to meet and a friendly face to see around. We are definitely going to miss Balboa but we will be back next time. Thank you for having us!
