What guests think

VEA Newport Beach, a Marriott Resort & Spa draws praise for friendly, attentive staff, a stylish renovation, and a convenient spot across from Fashion Island, while feedback also notes a strong bar scene and generally comfortable, modern rooms.

Valet-only parking and resort fees are frequently cited as expensive. Guests like the pools and gym, though the pool can be crowded or reserved for events and music can be loud. A few reviews report noise, long walks to some rooms, and inconsistent housekeeping or maintenance. Expect a polished, lively resort experience with some added costs.

Enjoyed a pleasant 4- night stay at VEA during the Christmas season. This Marriott property in Newport Beach, which we stayed before in 2018, is much improved following a major renovation… We were always warmly greeted by the valet staff, front desk professionals & housekeepers. Kudos to the following VEA employees who made our stay a wonderful experience: Edward @ check-in, Rachel @ check-out, Tiffany Beau Danny Jake Rashaan Grant @ parking valet A few suggestions include providing in room slippers & personal toiletries, and consider lowering the very pricey $60 daily charge for valet parking (no self park option on-site)! Will certainly consider VEA again on our next family visit in Newport area.

Overall experience was ok. We stayed on the convention center side which was a bit of a walk to the restaurant and facilities. In addition, pool was reserved for a private party so it was unavailable for use.

The pool and view from the pool were amazing. The room was excellent and service from the front desk was ideal. Fitness center was excellent as was the restaurant and bar areas. Overall I would definitely make a point of staying again. I would suggest charging stations for customers like myself with hybrid/plug-in vehicles.

Everything about it is great. Bar and pool close pretty early though and valet and resort fee is very pricey. You’d think it’s already part of the nightly rate but that’s how most hotels get you now.

Awesome stay. The staff at the front desk went out of their way to get me into a nice room with a view of the ocean. The room was a good size and very clean, and looks like it was newly upgraded (I stayed in the sky tower). I ate at the restaurant late in the evening and the food was good.

Our room was not clean. Hair in the bed, feces in the toilet, urine on the toilet, hair in the glass located in the bathroom and pubic hair on the phone. We requested our room be cleaned while we stepped out for dinner,when returned only the toilet was cleaned but no linens changed and pubic hair still on the phone. They did move us but to a smaller room.

Valet, restaurant and bar, excellent service but on day of checkout, we waited over 25 minutes in our room for a bellman. Called front desk, NO answer. I walked down to the front desk no one was in the lobby, 2 checkout individuals stand there and ALL the bell carts sitting there. When I told them they FINALLY got someone. Not sure what their problem was but no sure if we’ll return. Too many choices nearby.

The valet team are so courteous and polite. I give full credit to the the operations manager Lisa for running a great operation. The pool are and the views are stunning and the hotel is directly across from Fashion Island with so many dining and shopping options. Highly recommend!!!!

Molly at check in, was very friendly and very helpful. Our concern is with valet parking; they ignored us; we left our car in front of the hotel but still no one asked if we needed help. Finally, after several minutes, we had to snag someone and ask for service.

Went for a girls weekend over Labor Day and had the most relaxing, wellness and lovely weekend. Staff and service was great~ truly went out of their way to keep us smiling- Betsy at the front desk (super nice), Anthony at the Pool Lounge area (super accomodating and friendly), Christina provided friendly lounge bar service, and so much more. It really made our quality self care weekend the most enjoyable (we both have kiddos, and this was surely relax free time for us!). Thanks VEA.
