The shuttle broke on the second day right before we had to get to a tour, just a slight inconvenience.

Our room was amazing, very clean, quiet and a beautiful water view.

We did have some minors issues with the hotel, especially given the high price tag that came with staying there. Our shower had very poor water pressure and I noticed some small stains on the couch and chair in the room. There were three stairs leading to our room that we had to navigate with our baby’s stroller- I’m sure it’s just from the hotel being on the older side, but maybe something for the hotel to consider if they ever renovate. We also got coffee and breakfast from the on site bakery and were pretty disappointed in the quality of the coffee- the cold brew was very watery (but the cinnamon bun was phenomenal!) I was surprised the hotel didn’t offer complimentary coffee in the morning like so many other hotels do- it can be such a small but appreciated gesture.

We booked the Newport Harbor Island Resort somewhat last second before our Folk Festival weekend. Overall we really enjoyed our stay! The location is unbeatable with gorgeous views of the water and bridge, especially from the outdoor bar and pool area. The pool looked so fun and clean and we regret not having the time to go for a swim! We had drinks and dinner on site a few times and had a great time- good food and drinks and the staff were always very lovely and personable. Our rooms were comfortable, cozy beds, good AC, clean facilities. One of the biggest bonuses for us was the complimentary water taxi to and from the fort for the festival- that was definitely a game changer. We noticed many other services available to guests (some with an extra fee, some complimentary) like a shuttle to and from downtown Newport, bike rental, yoga and Pilates classes right on the lawn facing the water, and a bunch more. We definitely plan to go back so we can take advantage of all the resort has to offer.

Our room was unusually far away from the lobby, restaurants and pool area.

Superior outdoor living section! The view was fabulous and we enjoyed the outdoor seating with fire pits. The service in the pool area was superb.

We had room with an outdoor patio. Furniture was dirty and soiled by birds

Beautiful decor and amenities

I didn't like the distance of the room from the front of the hotel and having to pass through business conventions with large groups of congregating people to get to/from the room. Also, the resort is a disaster for older people. My mom is 87 years old, and it was very difficult to get around the facility. Parts of the resort were not open (restaurant in particular) because the end of April isn't considered in season. The bar served food, but the loud DJ made it intolerable.

The bakery. The blueberry scones and espresso were awesome. The lady working there was very friendly.

There is nothing not to like ! Just book timely as prices can get very high on peak season

Beautifully located with excellent amenities and very friendly staff. The place is very pet friendly and the staff took very good care of us ! We are definitely going to return and stay here when we come to Rhode Island next time !

I didn’t like the fact that we were given a room next to one that was being refurbished. We heard drilling and hammering all morning and throughout the day. The location wasn’t ideal, and the constant loud humming from the LG data storage networks or generators near the window of our room were loud. Additionally, $420 was unexpectedly added to the final bill if you’re using Bookings. We tried to use the luggage cart for our luggage, but we were told by the Bellman/Valet that management didn’t want guests to transport their own luggage. He preceded to tell me that the manager wanted him to take the luggage cart away from me. As I tried to get it into the elevator, he took it from me. I was shocked. We ended up taking our luggage down ourselves without the cart.

We liked the fact that the facilities had so much to offer. We did not have time to enjoy them, but it was nice to know that they were available.

I was turned off by the $35 overnight parking fee and the $6 coffee. This is a very expensive resort and it would be nice to have parking included with your stay.

The Newport Harbor Island Resort is absolutely beautiful inside! Our room was very comfortable and cozy and had a great view of the water looking out to Newport. The hotel is very tastefully decorated and smells wonderful. The indoor pool is amazing! The water was at least 80degrees and felt like a bath! We had breakfast in the torpedo room and it was delicious! The outside grounds are very nice and you can walk to the lighthouse! The views can’t be beat and the outside fire pits are lovely!

All the extra “fees” resort fee and parking fee. Also had to wait around because I did my reservation through Booking and it didn’t transfer causing an extra long check in time.

Property was nice, fire pits and plenty of spaces. Unfortunately being it was off season not all was useable. Room was clean and nicely decorated. Beds were also comfortable.

Amazing stay

The staff's lack of sincerity: I made a reservation for Ocean View, and when I picked up a room like 😡 warehouse and raised the issue, he responded to me with an impression and annoyance, saying, "Booking is the problem."

It wasn't bad.

Stayed in March 2025

Not really their fault. I had to pay additional charges that were more than Booking total price. I had to pay 35 for self park. I also paid additional 25 above total price Booking. I ate at restaurant food was great but very pricey.

Very clean, beautiful clean room. Helpful staff at arrival. They had delicious food at restaurant. Shuttle into town

150/night for a small dog is EXCESSIVE! We travel everywhere with our dog, who is like our child, this is the ABSOLUTE MOST WE HAVE EVER BEEN CHARGED. I would recommend this be reevaluated.

From arrival to checking out everyone was kind, helpful and seemed to genuinely care about your experience.

Room view was not nice. I asked for a different room and never got a response. Extremely noisy Saturday night next door and above. Extremely noisy Sunday morning. I left very early as a result. I was refunded one resort fee.

People working the bar and shuttle were nice. Room was nicely set up. Free welcome cocktails. Very clean. Dinner at hotel restaurant was delicious. Spa personnel provided wonderful massage and wax
