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location on Goat Island is stunning and convenient for exploring Newport, although the room I stayed in was somewhat outdated and dark.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. While I enjoyed the food at Scarpetta, the service overall was lacking, and I encountered several management issues that left me feeling dissatisfied.

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.

The amenities seemed nice at first glance, but several advertised features did not work properly during my stay. The lack of staff available at night was particularly concerning in a resort setting.
