    The hotel as a whole is very nice.

    Rooms only recommended with bay view. Standard rooms near the adjacent highway are not recommended, because street noise is hardly bearable!

    Overall it was large with balcony. Having a hairdryer, terry dressing gowns, and a shower cap was a bonus.

    The staff were friendly. 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.

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

    The hotel boasts a fine bay view that seemed 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 good-freshly baked pastries and a variety of organic juices that could brighten anyone's day.

    Noisy neighbors

    @ 1st blush, it seemed like a top notch property. Impression changed after 2nd day. Very kid friendly...noisey pool area, valet pkg. Area chaotic...not an "asult" property.

    See above comments + no variety in pillow selection. Shower in tub has no bars to hold on to for getting in & out. Every time air went on, there was a suction noise @ the door!!

    The setting is beautiful, although there is no real beach at this resort.

    We specifically requested black out curtains online, however at the resort after one sleepless night, we were told that none were available.

    really good staff
    beautifully decorated room
    fine views
    soft mattress
    medicore dining

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

    The mattress was softer than I prefer.

    Very well appointed. Was decorating for Christmas, and was very eloquent.

    Didn't care for all the "hidden charges" (charged $20.00 per day for a fitness center that I didn't use; fax services, and the big one....bottled water in the room) Valet staff actually stood by car until you paid them, yet you paid $28.00 per day for the service. There was a dead bug on our bed once, and a dirty towel in the bath. Informed the front desk, and it was a "oh well....."

    strong wi-fi
    fantastic restaurant

    This place suits me perfectly, with great amenities like strong Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and a fantastic restaurant. I still remember the staff bringing me a cold drink during my first stay-such a nice touch! I highly recommend it.

    See answers above. Medium size, so no waiting for elevators, or any service. Good discipline regarding dress and general behaviour. Great clothes shop. Concierge Patrick Hynes excellent. Car parking valets very good. Old timers dancing to very good small combo in bar area was very entertaining on Saturday night.

    Terrace was almost completely spoiled by large ugly boats parked against dock and obscuring what should have been an attractive view. Smaller boats would be quite acceptable. Rowdy people in the bar area on !8th July spoiled the experience and drove us away.

    having stayed at the BBC several times before, I felt like I was coming home, even though I now live on the East and Gulf coasts. Was pleasantly surprised to find I had been upgraded to a second floor room in the "clubhouse," overlooking the water. Delightful room. Great service in the restaurant. Ate in the First Cabin two nights and was waited on by Mike both times, while eating on the patio. Menu is interesting. Fausto took excellent care of me in Duke's.

    While very good, neither of my meals in the First Cabin were food of outstanding preparation. And, strangely enough, the seafood selection was rather limited and unimaginative.

    service delays
    minor customer service concerns

    The spacious room with a beautiful bay view provided a relaxing atmosphere, and the staff was attentive. Dining options were enjoyable. The restaurant service could improve, as we experienced delays with our orders. It's a great choice for families seeking a peaceful getaway.
