We stayed here during April school vacation. The place had great accommodations. The unit was quite large yet very comfortable. Our two daughters had their own room with bathroom while we had our own. A very big plus as you could image :) The place was emaculant when we got in. The staff was exceedingly knowledgable and friendly. I has... More

We stayed at The Wellington off-season in March, so it was harder to gauge all of the outdoor activities that the resort had to offer. However, the rooms were spacious, clean and well-appointed. Comfortable beds and plenty of room to roam within our 2 bedroom unit, so the kids were not on top of each other. We had an oceanview... More

We were here in off-season (December) so we saw little resort activity, which we expected given the time of year. However, it was perfect. The units are large, well provisioned (no stove, which was fine with me), great view of the harbor, gorgeous sunsets and so comfortable! Walking distance to most places, local transit somewhat workable and taxis very reasonable.... More

The Wellington is the perfect location when staying in Newport. Far enough from downtown to be quiet even during the busiest season and close enough to walk to restaurants and shopping. Staff is courteous, helpful and check-in and check-out is smooth and easy. We are owners of a timeshare at The Wellington. Only once in all our years of ownership... More

Perfect location for staying in Newport. Sunset views over the harbor....walking distance for restaurants and shopping. Exchanged visit through RCI...check-in was fast and courteous. Staff suggestions were very appropriate. One problem with a television was quickly resolved. Condo itself was huge and clean. Only drawback was no stove in the unit. Thank you for a wonderful first time visit to... More

The property was very old. We were only there for the night, got in late and left by 9:00 A.M. It is a timeshare property. If you are thinking about staying in a hotel, this is not it. The first room we were sent to we could not get in. There was a screaming baby in an adjoining suite, the... More

Beautiful condos right on the harbor. It has a little wear but is being updated. The location is perfect with easy walking to shopping and restaurants. We rented through VRBO and were not disappointed. Nice swimming pool and exercise facility. Would be wonderful for a family as we felt we had almost too much space.

From the first phone call to the checkout, the service was unbelievable! The ladies working the front office, Marcia, Angela, and Allie accommodated our every need. I recommend looking into renting a suite, they were great size and very comfortable. The resort is conveniently located in walking distance to everything you need to see or do in Newport.

We stayed at the Wellington for a girls' weekend. The suite was lovely, spacious and clean. The registration staff was helpful and gracious as we were in the midst of a hurricane. I definitely recommend the Wellington if you want a nice place for a large group in Newport within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
