    Had an amazing stay with spacious rooms that featured a large comfortable chaise and a beautiful bay view. The staff were friendly and attentive, making everything seamless. Enjoyed great breakfast options and poolside service while soaking in the sun. Highly impressed with the strong WiFi and easy access to streaming on the TV!

    The bath towels were a bit thin.

    stunning bay view
    freshly baked pastries
    friendly staff
    noisy neighbors
    lack of privacy

    The property boasts a stunning bay view that felt like a scene straight out of a postcard. Each morning, I woke up to the soft sound of gentle waves lapping against the shore, and the breakfast options were delightful—freshly baked pastries and a variety of organic juices that could brighten anyone's day.

    The staff at Balboa Bay Resort were exceptional, providing assistance with setting up my presentation equipment efficiently. My room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and impeccably clean. The location offered stunning views and easy access to the beachfront and local amenities. I appreciated the heated pool and the on-site dining options, which included a restaurant with a diverse menu.

    The mattress was softer than I prefer.

    I had an incredible stay! The room was beautifully decorated with stunning bay views, and I loved how I could easily log into my streaming accounts on the TV. Just a heads up, the mattress was softer than I typically prefer. Absolutely recommend it though!

    exceptional service
    spacious room
    noisy location
    less soundproofing
    limited parking

    The Newport King Room was an impressive space with impeccable cleanliness and a fantastic view. Appreciating the thoughtful touches like a Nespresso machine and complimentary wine enhanced the experience. The staff truly stood out, providing exceptional service throughout my stay, like offering a glass of champagne at check-in and turning down the bed while I dined out. Despite these positives, the location was a bit busy, and the room could have used more soundproofing for a better night's sleep.

    great vibe
    no patio furniture

    Great view but a weird moment

    I booked a room for a work getaway, and the bay view was stunning! The service was top-notch, especially from Marco at the front desk. It was awkward when someone made a rude comment about me enjoying the sunset alone, though. A little patio furniture would’ve been nice to enjoy the view too. Overall, totally worth it for the vibe!

    beautifully decorated spaces
    serene atmosphere
    thoughtful seating
    inaccessible outdoor areas
    limited seating

    The Balboa Bay Resort offers beautifully decorated spaces that are both elegant and comfortable, with spacious common areas and thoughtful seating that cater wonderfully to seniors. I appreciated the gentle design elements that created a serene atmosphere.

    More accessible outdoor areas would enhance senior comfort.

    What a gem! The complimentary wine in our Bay View King room was such a lovely touch. The only downside was the towels, which felt a bit worn. Overall, a fantastic stay! 🍷

    spacious room
    delightful breakfast
    calming sea view
    thin towels

    pleasant stay with great amenities

    I truly appreciated the spaciousness of my room, which made for a comfortable stay. The pool area was lovely, providing a serene space to unwind after a day out. The breakfast selection offered a delightful variety that suited all tastes. The sea view from my room added a calming backdrop that made my mornings special.

    However, the bath towels provided were a bit thin, which detracted from the overall luxury experience.
