Amazing staff to match the luxury lifestyle

All I can say is if you can get the Harbor view room I highly recommend it! Beautiful views of the harbor, watching yachts and crew teams sipping my morning coffee on our balcony was a highlight. The staff onsite is the nicest group of people we have ever met. Valet, front desk, bellhop, and the concierge all exceeded expectations. I have stayed with my family at a few luxury resorts in the Newport Beach area and Balboa Bay Resort is hands down our favorite of them all. We will be back guaranteed.
