We had just left the Lodge at Torrey Pines which was outstanding and I found myself comparing the two properties. I had expected the Balboa to be in a more scenic location and it sat on a busy road across from a car detailing business. The customer service was average, nothing spectacular. They had a nice pool which my daughter... more

After reading reviews from Trip Advisor I contacted BBC directly for reservation. My husband and I were taking our small dog to Irvine for surgery and decided to try the hotel. *Dogs allowed for additional fee. We loved it! We booked a king view room and had a small walk out porch (ground level) & view of water & boats.... more

Spend the $$$ get a bayfront room and watch the world go by. Great room, great bathroom, great balcony. We have kids and have had chicken fingers from around the world and these were exceptionally good. I generally expect the worst from room service and we were pleasantly surprised by the food and service. It was a plus that the... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in mid Feb. Overall, pleased with the rooms, new and crisp, the bathroom was very very large with a marble shower and its own private soaking tub. Bathroom products were nice and plenty of fresh stocked towels. The view was a little cheap, of the conference room across the balcony, couldnt get a better view... more

Stayed here for a quick weekend with a friend who just moved to the area. Booked through a site called Perfect Escapes in hopes of getting the "subject to availability" perks offered such as early check-in , room upgrade, and late check out. The only thing available was the early check-in at 12. The staff was friendly and helpful with... more

My husband and I stayed at BBC resort for 3 nights. We paid almost $500 for a ocean view room. You would expect superior service for this price tag. The room was nice decorated, but small for the price we paid. The housekeeping didn't do their job right after we spilled instant coffee powders on the carpet. It seemed that... more

Stayed 3 nights at this resort and would highly recommend it. It is worth paying a bit extra for a bay view room. Spacious balcony with lovely view of the water and the yachts. Some of the other rooms did not seem as appealing with views of the road or pool. I loved the comfy beds and the turndown service..chocs... more

A 5 star hotel. The service was excellent. The staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and I have a bad back and I'm 8 months pregnant. We booked a massage at the spa it was heavenly. I can't wait to go again!!!! more

My husband and I stayed at the Balboa Bay Club for one night in November and will gladly return. We were offered a free upgrade upon check-in and the staff was there to please. The rooms, location, amenities and overall service and dining experience was exceptional. We look forward to returning soon. more

We stayed one night here with our two young boys. I thought they would enjoy seeing the boats and being close to the water. We were given a double room that overlooked the courtyard pool. That was a bummer. Plus we were gently encouraged to take our kids off property for dinner as the restaurant is not very child friendly.... more
