Newport Beach
Balboa Bay Resort
Travelzoo Staff
Why We Love It
- Rated AAA 4-Diamond, it's the only full-service waterfront resort in Newport Beach
- Renovated in 2014, the property feels chic and new -- be sure to spend an evening by an outdoor fire pit overlooking the multi-million dollar yachts
- Huge accommodations -- basic rooms start at 500-square-feet and come with a private balcony and soaking tub
- The nightly "hospitality fee" of $20 for items like Wi-Fi and coffee is a bit annoying, but the hotel chips in a welcome bottle of Chardonnay
"Perennially popular destination" -- Frommer's

Overview
Just off the Pacific Coast Highway along 15 waterfront-acres is the Mediterranean-style AAA 4-Diamond Balboa Bay Resort. Come hungry so you can check in, and then dine at Waterline. The restaurant showcases a water-to-table concept and picturesque views of sunsets. This dining experience will entice all of your senses with fresh entrees and unforgettable harbor views.
With a satisfied appetite, head to one of many local beaches for a stroll, or back to your guest room that opens to a private furnished balcony and invites relaxation in a marble bathroom with deep soaking tub.
This waterfront gem offers plenty of outdoor activities including Duffy boats which seat up to 12 people for a tour of the bay (fees apply). And an Olympic-size pool is ideal for swimming laps or soaking in the sun.
Note: Guests are responsible for a $20 nightly hospitality fee that covers 24-hour fitness center access, lobby coffee and tea service from 6 am-9 am, bottled water in room replenished daily (up to two maximum) and unlimited Wi-Fi access.
From the press:
- "Spread out over 15 acres, this bay-front resort retains late '40s charm but with many modern day amenities; it's been a perennially popular destination for the duration" -- Frommer's
