Monte Carlo? The French Riviera..no...I was in Newport Beach at the Balboa Bay Club for lunch! This local get-away resort is sublime, distinguished, and elegant. We had a window seat over-looking the docked yachts on the Marina--I couldn't help but imagine myself atop a boat, sunbathing in a bikini out to sea!
Service was above and beyond what you'd expect at a fine resort. Reminiscent of a dining room on a cruise-liner, the First Cabin restaurant is classy yet relaxed all-in-one. Clouds parted for radiant sun and we were able to enjoy the serene patio seating for a last glass of wine. Soft flamenco music filled the patio with a peacefully procative energy. This is just my first adventure here, i will be back for the wine festival in May!
Executive Chef Josef Lageder came out to greet us, sharing stories of his Austrian heritage and how it shaped his culinary talent. (All in German, of course--nice to be able to practice!)
There is also a great bar called Duke's which has plenty of seating, a dance floor, and large bar. This is THE place to stay to make memories last a lifetime.
And why not splurge a bit, the gorgeous rooms run about the same as a nice room in Vegas, or even a jacuzzi suite in one of the Indian Gaming resorts around here!

I stayed at this property for a conference. The location offers a short drive to a lot of great shopping opportunities and cute little areas of coastal Orange County. That aside, I did have some problems. I reserved a double room with patio or balcony. The first room they gave to me was a double, but did not have a patio or balcony. I went back to the desk, they apologized and assigned me a new room. This one was not a double. I had to return to the front desk AGAIN to let them know it was not the correct type of room. The third one ended up being correct. Still it was a lot of frustration after a long days drive to get here. Also, the ATM machine did not function during my whole stay ... and there was no easy place to walk to for cash. Front desk said they would cash a personal check for me .... however I never travel with my check book.
I will say that the catering staff was great for our event. They were professional and did their job great, without being disruptive to the key note speakers.
