My stay at Newport Harbor Island Resort was topped by amazing views and a relaxing atmosphere, but the overall experience could have been better. The location on Goat Island is stunning and convenient for exploring Newport, although the room I stayed in was somewhat outdated and dark. The staff was friendly and attentive, yet there were some issues with communication that left me feeling frustrated at times. 😕🌅

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Newport Harbor Island Resort. The location was lovely with beautiful views, but the hotel itself felt more like a cheap motel than a luxurious retreat.

My stay at the Newport Harbor Island Resort had its highs and lows. The location is fantastic with beautiful scenery, and I really enjoyed the cocktails and food. However, the room left much to be desired, as it felt cramped and outdated, and the service was inconsistent. Overall, I found the experience overpriced for what I received.

The dining options had their highlights, such as delicious cocktails and some tasty dishes, but prices felt excessive for certain items, like an $8 side of bacon. Dining here was more about the experience than the food quality.
