We enjoyed 5 days at this property. The property itself was beautiful and ease of getting to town via water taxi and shuttle were convenient. The room was small and not well laid our and had electrical problems whereby our power went out whenever our neighbor used the hair dryer. The bell staff and water taxi drivers were fantastic. The front desk staff was mediocre. Overall I would recommend this for a long weekend in Newport

Better then ever!
My family and I have stayed at this resort three times. This time was the best. The resort has clearly been remodeled and improved significantly. The pool deck has expanded seating. The pool and the surrounding area is immaculate. The pool staff are helpful and very friendly. The pool restaurant serves up excellent food. The rooms were excellent. The beds, carpet, showers all appear new and improved. The rooms were also immaculately cleaned. The location is ideal for exploring and experiencing the best of Newport. Highly recommend! Looking forward to our next trip to the Newport Harbor Island Resort.

Wonderful Renovations!!!
What an improvement a year makes, we always stay here at least 2 times a year, the renovations came out beautiful, tasteful and cohesive. Staff were very attentive and accommodating! If I had to point out two areas I would improve easily would be: -pavement where you unload car, wait for valet and get first impression was dirty each day except our last day, I’d power wash it and touch it up as the rest of the property is wonderful! -you have one of the best views for dining, however your pricing and service do not compare to other restaurants. Prices are crazy high and service needs a lot of training. Honestly easy fixed that don’t cost anything and will reap major benefits to all of the exceptional things going on at your property. Kudos and congratulations!

Hospitality lacking…
My friends and I stayed for two nights. I will NOT return, nor recommend anyone stay here. I tried contacting the hotel several times before arriving to request rooms next to friends, but could not get anyone on the phone l, when I finally did I spoke with a manager, Emily, who was rude and mocked my frustration. Upon check in we were not met with any hospitality at all. It was as if we were inconveniencing the staff to check in. Every question was met with a condescending response. Everyone seemed miserable. The second day we received a phone call asking why we hadn’t checked out yet, I was completely taken back bc we were booked for two nights. I then went to the front desk and again was met with a poor attitude. I showed the receipt for our two rooms for two nights and he didn’t say thank you or sorry for inconveniencing me. Then he said that one of our rooms was never checked into yesterday, I said that couldn’t be the case when we have keys for both rooms. I said I didn’t understand. And he said someone else would look into it further. He said it was a mistake. Never gave an apology or smile. Nothing. Again the staff made me feel like I had done something wrong or inconvenienced them in some way. I have NEVER encountered such poor customer service and expect more hospitable interaction when traveling.

My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversity! The staff couldn't have been more happy for us.We started out with an room upgrade with our private patio. It was amazing, view right on the habor. I used open table to make dinner reservations,very easy to use. Our table was perfect. Menus had many choices. Entres cooked to our specifications along with requests. We both would highly recommend this resort.
