Reviews for Balboa Bay Resort
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.

Great stay at Balboa Bay Resort
The presidential suite was amazing. Great food from A O restaurant. And good live music on the weekends. Thank you

Really good place to stay in the OC
Stayed here on a business trip after a few years. The hotel is super convenient for business in Newport Beach and is well located near the Balboa Peninsula. The staff here are excellent. Special acknowledgement to the front desk employee, Fateenmah, who was courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. She’s a good ambassador for the hotel. I stayed in a nice room on the third floor of the Club as opposed to the main hotel. It’s quieter over there normally and my room had a great view of Lido Island. If you can get a room in the club, do it. This time however they are doing work on the club members pool so the construction noise was loud in the morning. The hotel pool remains open. Folks at A O restaurant were cheery and helpful. Overall good visit and this remains a good hotel. Will definitely come back.

So happy we chose this but need to keep the balcony closed during work hours
Wonderful, helpful staff. Great location and beautiful room. They are doing construction on the pool right outside at the moment is the only setback.
