Late Check Out
 | | Overall rating: |  | Value rating : | |
My wide reminded me that the housekeepers knocked on the door approx. 4 times between 11 and 2pm. The late check out of 4pm was not relaxing or enjoyed. We left the room at 2:30pm to clear the room.

Good Except...
| | Overall rating: | | Value rating : | |
Overall nice grounds and facilities. Used the Spa area which was fine. Ate at Duke's outside- good. BUT, the TV in the room was not only small, but the sound was not good. Seems like it resonated. Expect a better quality TV for a hotel like this.

A Divine Business Trip

Simply wonderful experience. I would have liked to see some dining offerings later into the evening. The Marine Corp Band playing Christmas Carols was a treat. Can't wait to return.

We were looking for a short time to rest and recuperate. We found it in a very attractive and comfortable setting.

We were here for our 20-year high school reunion and it was perfect. Our room was nice. We paid less for the street view, but didn't mind at all. Most comfortable beds ever! Staff was nice and helpful and room service was yummy. We docked a small boat here and also enjoyed the pool. It was a great experience overall and I hope to stay there again soon.

Average
| | Overall rating: |  | Value rating : | |
This hotel was squarely in the range of what I would call average, particularly for the price. The hotel's restaurant views of the harbor were nice, but screaming kids around the pool, so-so room assignment, and expensive price tag for average food suggest that a better value might be found elsewhere.

Wonderful

Unfortunately we only stayed 2 nights here, but next time it will be for longer. Absolutely lovely, extremely comfortable room, the most comfortable bed; fabulous breakfast on the terrace--we definitely will be back!

Great Stay At The Balboa Bay Club
| | Overall rating: | | Value rating : | |
The Balboa Bay Club has beautiful, spacious rooms with incredibly comfortable beds. My kids loved the small private beach and pool. Service was professional and prompt.

Anniversary

The hotel service was excellent. If you are looking for a nice relaxing place the Balboa resort is the place. The resort as a whole was a very clean place. I would refer this resort to others. My wife and I had a wonderful time at the resort.

Nice Enough but I Would Not Return
| | Overall rating: | | Value rating : | |
This was my second visit to this property. Spa and dining experiences were first rate. Staff provided inconsistent service; some wonderful individuals providing exceptional service and a few very negative interactions with rude employees. BBC did not accommodate any of the Perfect Escape benefits- complimentary room upgrade, 4pm late check-out, and 12pm early check-in, were all unavailable. Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel or the Surf & Sand Resort are better business/ leisure options.

Room was very nice but didn't get any upgrades. Also had to pay just to park there, huh? Wouldn't go there again.

Luxury !
| | Overall rating: | | Value rating : | |
Pretty much perfect from the moment we arrived. We got upgraded to a bay view room, gorgeous. Huge deluxe bathroom, great big room, view lovely. Everything else was what you'd expect and be prepared to spend a lot on tips too as there's a LOT of staff to feed !
