    It was a luxury and upscale hotel in a very nice area, so close to the local's private beach club and the coast and the A & O restaurant for lunch. The location was favourable for party. Went to On The Rocks Bar & Grill for drink or two, set relatively near the property. The room was functional and decent sized with a luxurious bathroom.

    We thoroughly enjoyed rooms on the water. The breakfast was enjoyable and gorgeous with good choice of meals to choose from. The location was gorgeous for Newport Beach, next to all the Newport Beach sights, water slides and John Wayne Airport. The service was first-class and the pool was very clean.
