I came here for a part-business, part-fun trip in December during the holiday season. The hotel was fully decorated and looked great. Staff was extremely nice, offered to set me up with sailing opportunity and upgraded my room. Valet parking was a little slow but it was included in my room package so I got a decent deal on everything. More

While we found the Balboa Bay Club & Resort because we were coming to a wedding, we will definitely return for a relaxing weekend. The staff could not be friendlier, more warm, or more helpful, starting with the car valets! Maria at the front desk was hugely helpful in selecting a wonderful room overlooking the harbor and yachts for us,... More

A family wedding in Newport Beach took us to SoCal in October. We had a spectacular 4 days. We stayed at the Balboa Bay Club and resort. This low-key, high-end resort looks out over the bay, though we had a pool view room which was pleasant. The hotel is low rise, elegant, quiet. Rooms top of the line in cleanliness,... More

We stayed here because we won a silent auction. It's a bit pricey, but it's a first class hotel. We had a room overlooking the bay. Location is perfect as you can walk anywhere... we did have a bad stay but not due to the hotel's fault. Call it drunk guests after a wedding, above our room. So bad that... More

This is an older hotel, very well maintained, offering excellent service, located directly on the Bay. It is not a typical beach resort, the pool area is small and there is very little beach. It is also not a good walking area. BUT, it is an excellent place to stay and explore Newport Beach and Balboa. I love Balboa and... More

So, we wanted to get away for a night without the kids, for my husband's birthday. We have 4 small children and wanted to stay close to home, but wanted to get away. I offered to make reservations for more local places, like the St. Regis ("Too stuffy"), Ritz Carlton ("Horrible service last time.") or the Montage ("They want how... More

My wife and I spent all too short a time at the Resort. We were treated excellently by everyone and found the staff to be plentiful and helpful from the valet, to the food servers, to the front desk. We attended on the last day of the Balboa Bay Christmas festival of Lights, where about 100 boats parade down the... More

This is 5 star all the way and I highly recommend this resort. Situated on Newport Harbor it is the only resort in town with it's own private beach on the bay. Recently renovated and full of new and bright ideas this is truly what you would and should expect from Newport Beach. You can walk to all of the... More

Just came back from a week at Balboa Bay Club...loved it! This is a luxury high end hotel with impecable quality and service. Our room was overlooking the bay and the sight was totally worth it. The club side of the resort grants complimentary access to the pool, fitness and spa. The units are tastefully furnished with oversized bathrooms (double... More
