Fodor's Expert Review VEA Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Spa

This centrally located, newly renovated property is across the street from the popular Fashion Island shopping-and-dining complex. Request a guest room with a balcony or patio facing the ocean. Not only will you appreciate the golf course views of the Newport Beach Country Club, but the rooms higher up also have spectacular Newport Harbor and Catalina Island vistas. There are plenty of ways to pamper yourself here: indulge in a massage at the full-service spa, drink cocktails at a poolside cabana, or enjoy the sustainably caught fish of the day at the hotel's VIEW Restaurant and Lounge.
