Great Place to Stay Near the Beach
Fantastic stay! Great servce! Food was awesome at Dukes. The hotels location is great for a visit to the Newport Beach area. I was visiting form Minnesota but used to live in Southern California so an old friend brought a couple bikes to cruise around the beaches but there are places to rent them as well. The hotel is a couple mile bike ride to Balboa Island then we a took a ferry over to the penninsula. The whole stay was very nice.

Can’t wait to return
The Balboa Bay Club and Resort 4 Diamond hotel was excellent! The service was outstanding. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and elegant. The First Cabin Restaurant service was excellent and the food was delicious. It was nice to sit on the patio near the bay for breakfast. Plan to pay for valet parking.

Beautiful, elegant hotel right on a quiet stretch of water, with yachts and sailboats passing by
A truly beautiful hotel, understated elegance, wonderful staff, in a great location by Balboa Island and a few minutes from ocean beaches. Has a guest list of presidents that’s quite impressive....
