Top ExplorOcean Hotel Reviews

On the Boardwalk with views of the Ocean & Balboa Pier--steps to the Fun Zone

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious and clean property with ocean views right next to Balboa Pier, the Fun Zone, and the ferry. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There were plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. The layout was perfect for our family time. We enjoyed hearing the waves crash from the balcony. We will definitely return."

Beachfront Balboa Peninsula Escape + Direct Ocean Views | Oceanfront Atelier

8/10 Good

"The property and location was amazing. The only issue was that we did not have the door code and had to find a way to get it and they told us the wrong garage code and it took way too much time and effort to get ahold of it. In the mean time we did not have adequate parking or access to the washer and other things stored in the garage. But overall it was a lovely place with an incredible view from the upstairs."

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

6/10 Okay

"The check in time is at 4 which is too late...called in to try to get an earlier check in...even an hour and the guy said "There are several people waiting in the lobby, you can come in and sit and wait". I told this to the checkin person when we did check in and he comped out self parking...which is $40 per day...and they have a LOT of parking....they have it gated off so you HAVE to pay. The grounds looked nice but stunk like barf/baby crap as they'd just put in new mulch....really you used mulch that stinks that bad at a hotel resort? One of the maintenance guys said that was what the smell was from. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable...they have louvered bathroom doors so if you're loud on the john, everyone will hear....there is no separate toilet door so not a good date spot unless you're into that. It's also right by an outdoor concert venue so if you want any rest before that shuts down you'd better be able to sleep with a lot of noise."

2 Bedroom upper unit at our Oceanfront Home Newport Beach, California, United States

8/10 Good

"Wonderful location and a cute little apartment. It had everything we needed and just steps from the beach. The only thing, dishes need serious upgrade and maybe some of the furniture too;) parking is available in the garage, which was super convenient."

Oceanfront Boardwalk property, Newly remodeled Large patio, Steps to the sand.

10/10 Excellent

"Great ocean front location close to the Balboa Pier, restaurants, and shops on the quiet end of the peninsula. The grass area is great for kids and pets, and the patio is great for outdoor dining, lounging, and people watching. The property is well appointed and has everything you need (beach chairs, bikes, games) to enjoy a stay at the beach. We had a group of 4 to 6, had plenty of space, and really enjoyed our stay. Great host. We will definitely be back and highly recommend to others!"

Cozy Condo With New AC, Steps from Balboa Ferry and Peninsula Beach Access

10/10 Excellent

"The unit was as advertised. It was clean, easy to find and we enjoyed staying at it. You should know the garage is very tight and the door is short and my antenna on a Ford Ranger rubbed as we backed in."
