Check-in was easy and quick. We liked having free parking and no resort fees. The villa was nicely decorated and up-to-date. We were close to both Newport and Laguna Beach and it was an easy drive. The grocery stores and restaurants nearby were nice as the food on grounds wasn't all that great. The fitness center was nice and did the job. There were also grills around that we saw others using and enjoying. The only hassle was dealing with seating at the pools. People would go early and place towels on the chairs and not show up for hours. Very irritating and nothing was done to prevent or discourage this. Procedures could and should be in place to address this situation. That being said, it's a nice resort and we enjoyed our stay.

Great place for families! Good access to whole area. Love the pools. Good views from the units further up the hill.

I had a one week in the Mariott but it has been extended because of the great resort stayed in, I do recommend this place for any one with his family you will enjoy it

Incredible villa, spacious and modern, with two bedrooms, full kitchen, and a first floor walkout private patio. We had a peekaboo ocean view, walking distance to the main pool and another pool area. Onsite food is decent pub food, and onsite drinks are pricey. Shuttles to crystal cove and the amazing beachcomber restaurant. close to disneyland, angels stadium, and all the orange county beaches, hiking, shopping, and natural beauty. At times, resort pool got crowded and hottubs would get full, but overall incredible place to stay. Only request for future would be to have ability to pick room location/view upon booking, as we ended up on the first floor with limited view.

Marriott Newport Villas were an excellent place for our family. Rooms are very spacious and the resort had all that one could want . pools, restaurants, marketplace, fitness center and classes. we will definately be back as the location is also perfect for a quick drive Laguna, Newport and Crystal Cove experiences, shopping and dining.

Marriott's Newport Coast Villas is a wonderful place to stay and served us extremely well as an anchor to explore Southern California. The resort has extremely comfortable accommodations, fabulous amenities and within reach of San Diego, Los Angeles and everything in between. We have stayed there twice in two years and will return when we visit the area again in the future.

One of most fabulous resorts I have ever stayed at. Grounds were beautiful, views were remarkable, location was far enough away but close enough to experience Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Los Angeles, etc. Condo type units large enough to feel at home in and so much to do inside the resort. Pools were so wonderful you didn't even want to shuttle to beach which was an easy, quick shuttle. Would love to visit again!

The facility is beautiful and very well equipped. We ordered curbside groceries from the nearby Pavillions and never needed to go elsewhere. The condo itself was very clean and very comfortable. It was great having both pool and beach access! Being able to cook meals, make good coffee, do a load of laundry, etc. made it feel easy like home away from home. The star of the week was a Falconer named, Gia, who along with her hawk, Jasper, controls the pesky birds. She was so approachable and educational to kids and adults alike! A couple of minor things to note (which I believe were mostly due to the national employee shortage): the room was not ready upon arrival, there was minimal housekeeping service, and too few shuttles running to and from the beach. In all cases, the folks who were there, were lovely to deal with and very customer service oriented. We will definitely return!

The Mariott’s Newport coast Villa is a great place to spend your vacation. The location is great in a very beautiful hill with great view to the ocean. I did enjoy with my family staying at the resort. Special thanks to the team of VacationCandy for assisting me in getting the room for my specific dates.

The resort and grounds are absolutely beautiful. Any images or descriptions you see don't do it justice. A+ customer service for every employee that we interacted with. It was my parents' 50th wedding anniversary while there, and when resort staff found out, they treated them to a complimentary in-room meal and bottle of wine. The resort offers a shuttle to nearby destinations and has plenty of on-site activities. The only con to the whole stay was that an apparent herd of elephants stayed in the villa above ours, making it hard to sleep at night. That's not necessarily the resort's problem, but I guess that means that soundproofing could be upgraded. As for booking through VacationCandy, it was a great experience. All aspects of the reservation were handled by their awesome customer service crew. I'll definitely be returning to them for our next family getaway.

This is one of the best resorts I have stayed for families. Great heated swimming pool, could be warmer in the winter, but it is fine. Daily activities. Rooms are in great condition and very spacious. Resort view of the pacific ocean is unbelievable. Location is perfect to visit the orange county.

Wonderful views, friendly staff and amazing services.
