I love this resort. It’s sooo beautiful and all of the staff are so friendly. I highly recommend their restaurant A & O as well.

The resort was absolutely beautiful. Our room was large & had all the amenities you could want. The bed was very comfortable. The customer service was excellent!

Balboa Bay Resort Concierge services is the best. Aside from having a great experience booking this hotel, concierge services helped me with all of my pre-arrival needs. And, a woman names Praise at the front desk was very gracious and kind upon our arrival. We really needed to get into our room and dressed for a photo shoot, and she helped us get in just a little bit early. Thank you all at Balboa Bay Resort. Shout out to my good friend Dan in Sales at BBR. Everyone there is wonderful. Cheers, Amy
