Reviews for Balboa Bay Resort
An all time favorite.
Friendly, flexible staff, beautiful room, and comfortable accommodations.
Claudioamadeus - Newbury Park, California
Good but not for the Price
The location of the hotel is nice, the exterior is beautiful, the restaurant breakfast is tasty, but the rooms, pool and hot tub area are in need of repair. If this were a Holiday Inn or a non-resort, it would be acceptable and expected. For what this resort charges, I would expect even the small details to be covered. The pool and hot tub were in rough shape, cracks all over the place, and the bed frames had significant damage. Good place to stay, but for the price I would look elsewhere.

I will definitely stay here again.
Front desk and Bell desk personnel couldn’t be more helpful, warm and professional. What a great first impression. Our room is beautiful, the whole resort is beautiful and smells like I’m in Hawaii. The event we attended last night for the Soto /Guerra wedding was wonderful. Can’t enough good things.

It doesn’t get any better.
