“This waterfront resort earns high marks for its access to Newport Bay, luxurious spa, and family-friendly ethos. I admire the curated amenities like complimentary wine, as well as the comprehensive recreation concierge who arranges both water and land pursuits. Its combination of yacht charters and proximity to both Disneyland and local shopping makes it a notable choice.”
