My stay at the Balboa Bay Club was truly memorable, with breathtaking holiday decorations that added to the festive cheer. The rooms were spacious and offered stunning views of the bay, although I had to drop the do-not-disturb sign for my room to get cleaned. The dining options were fantastic, especially the A&O restaurant, but I found the lack of brisk service a tad disappointing. Overall, it is a luxurious resort with excellent amenities, but a few areas could use some improvement.

I had a great experience at Balboa Bay Resort overall, with luxurious accommodations and delicious dining options that made my stay memorable. However, I did face some challenges with customer service and the handling of my spa credits, which was a bit disappointing. The views from my room were spectacular, and the spa services were top-notch, but the front desk could use some improvement in communication. It's a great spot for a delightful getaway, although there are areas that need attention.

Overall, my stay at the Balboa Bay Resort had its ups and downs. While the rooms were spacious and beautifully designed, my experience with the service left much to be desired, especially with the valet incident. The dining options were quite good, but I felt there could be some improvements on customer assistance. The resort offered great facilities like a lovely pool area, but the service shortcomings definitely dampened my overall enjoyment.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, which truly excelled in its location and scenic views of the bay. The property is beautifully maintained, and I found the staff quite attentive and friendly overall. However, noise levels were an issue during the night from the rooms above, and I felt that some aspects of the dining experience could be improved. The outdoor pool was also quite cold for October, which was disappointing.

My recent stay was a mixed bag. While I enjoyed the clean and modern accommodations, the noise from the street was quite bothersome, especially at night. The service I received varied, with some staff being helpful, but the front desk left a lot to be desired. Dining was enjoyable, particularly at the water-side restaurant, although the hidden extra fees really added up, making me question the overall value for money.
