Accessibility at Balboa Bay Resort
Every guest should be able to use this website and enjoy this resort without friction. Balboa Bay Resort is committed to meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, and we review the site regularly against that standard. Accessibility work is ongoing rather than finished, and we treat guest feedback as the most useful part of it.
On the website, that means keyboard navigation throughout, descriptive alt text on images, visible focus states, sufficient color contrast, labeled form fields, and compatibility with common screen readers.
At the property, accessible guest rooms are available with roll-in showers or tub seats, visual alarm and notification devices, and connecting options. Public areas, restaurants, meeting space and the pool deck are accessible, and valet staff can assist with vehicles. Service animals are always welcome.
If any page here gets in your way, or you need help booking an accessible room, call us or email the address below and a member of our team will assist you directly. Please tell us the page or the task you were trying to complete so we can fix the cause rather than the symptom.
