My husband and I had a really wonderful five night stay at the Newport Harbor Island resort in late august. Everyone we encountered, from the bellhops and desk staff to the waiters and pool help were kind and accommodating. I also had the pleasure of meeting the hotel manager, Erik Berlied, who was extremely friendly and seemed focused on creating a positive vibe and experience in the hotel. He was kind enough to help us with a minor issue and it really helped to make our stay great.
We also enjoyed the outdoor areas at the hotel. It was a welcome respite from the busyness of Newport. The peaceful grounds, water vistas, pool, dining locations, walking paths and Adirondack chairs were all nice perks. We ate dinner outside on the patio one night and while it was expensive, the food was delicious. It was one of our better meals while in Newport. All around a great stay.
