3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2012

This hotel is well-appointed--very comfortable bed, lovely linens, elegant bathroom and--something I appreciate in a hotel--good sound-proofing. We had one quick overnight here while visiting some family and friends and spent very little time at the hotel, though just enough to realize that it is a hub of social activity for locals. Day-use families had the run of the pool... More

My boyfriend and I spent one night here in April 2012. We just needed a quick escape to relax. This was a great choice. We ordered a bay view deluxe room with a King bed. The view of the bay was beautiful and it was so relaxing to see the sail boats go by. The balconies are private, besides the... More

My husband and I made a last-minute decision to find a special place to quietly celebrate a birthday. The Balboa Bay Resort provided extra special attention to our requests. The BBC is sparkling clean, has exceptional views of the harbor, privacy, attentive service, exquisite menus in the First Cabin Restaurant, and looked after every need with great care. We highly...

I was a little skeptical of staying here, as I find that sometimes these independent resorts are more hype, and in reality more tired and worn out than the larger upscale chains. Wrong! Our room was beautiful and in great condition. Service was excellent. Views were stunning. Facilities great. Location central to much and with a great sushi restaurant across... More

We spent just short of a week at the balboa bay club, and we were delighted with our stay. This place is very convenient for friends and family for us, as well as business. We had a lovely room, enjoyed great breakfasts every day and kept the valets running with our frequent in and outs. Nothing was too much trouble... More

My daughter and I went to Newport to look at some colleges in the area and wanted to stay in a nice comfortable hotel. We couldn't have been more pleased with everything about this resort. Firstly, everyone was genuinely kind and helpful. Secondly, the rooms are nice sized and very clean and comfortable. There were robes and slippers in our... More
