Hotel staff was very friendly although they did not have any bellmen to help us with our luggage. Parking lot was a long walk across a busy stress so we ended up using valet parking the whole time for $15 a day. Room was called a "suite" but it was dark and very old. The bed and pillow were so... more

My wife and myself stayed at the Newport Beach Side Resort attending a wedding. The hotel is located directly on the ocean with their own private beach which is kept spotless. The actual pool deck is expansive and the service is immediate as opposed to being ignored at other hotels we have stayed at. The wedding ceremony itself was very... more

Overall, the hotel and beach were great. We went as a group of girls looking for a beachy weekend getaway. The room was clean, daily housekeeping services kept it in good shape. The front desk had NO good recommendations for clubs or restaurants though (the first night we were there and asked for good restaurants in the area, they suggested... more

I would not recommend Newport Beachside resort as a place to get married. Catering Coordinator Tammy Malamund made our event and our stay a complete headache. We felt very unwelcome and many promises were made to us. NONE of them were met. Beginning with our wedding planning, Malamund was extremely unreliable. She would go weeks without communicating with us and... more

PROS: This hotel has the best beach out of the 5 we visited burring our trip. The sand is great and the water is beautiful, the hotel hands out towels by the pool but they'll charge you $20 if you lose it. Fridge and Microwave were great, they even provide plates. The pool and hot tub were nice as well.... more

We checked in 10/24/09 and checked out 10/28/09. We didn't get to the hotel until about 10:30 on Saturday night, however our room as available immediately. The lobby is super nice, there is a bar that doubles as a nightclub most nights of the week - so after we grabbed dinner at a place down the street (restaurant was closed... more

Went down there w/ 10 friends, 6 of us somehow were overbooked and moved to a different hotel 15 mins away!!! Now we are split from our group and they didn't give a damn! Said they would pick up our parking fees for the incovience, I've called at least 10 times and was promised refunds, return calls...nothing!!!! All the managers... more

My wife and I booked on Essentravel.com for the Newport Beachside in Miami. No problems there, good price, etc. The hotel is, and Ill put this as deftly as I can, not from this era. You can hear people walking above your room. A bit irritating!! But on the whole it was a good stay, the double beds and sliding... more
