STAY
Set on fifteen pristine acres of bayfront property, Balboa Bay Resort offers a sweet escape for those in search of some family fun. The resort features 159 renovated guest rooms, each complete with fresh and contemporary furnishings, such as rich espresso wood beds, custom-designed shams, pillows, and throws and linens by Frette. Guests can select from a variety of rooms and suites that feature varying floor plans, views and amenities.
When you’re not cozied up in your plush bed, you and your fam will want to spend time exploring the property and its sumptuous offerings, including the newly refreshed A+O Restaurant | Bar. This ocean-inspired restaurant brings the waterfront “wow” factor with its expansive wrap-around patio that overlooks the glistening bay. Snag a seat under the yellow striped umbrellas and treat your palate to a menu of sea-to-table dishes like Scottish salmon and Maine lobster rolls. Plus, the adults will love the selection of smoked cocktails—an A+O Restaurant | Bar specialty!
