The Spa at Newport Harbor Island Resort — Local services in Newport

My wife enjoyed her facial very much.

If you haven’t had many massages you will likely find this place just fine. I have had hundreds of massages and found myself underwhelmed and anxious for it to be over, so I could go back to the hotel room and role around on a tennis ball.

I had a tepid (luke warm) massage. The “masseuse” basically just leaned her forearm on the routine areas and completely avoided all of the problem areas that I had mentioned.

I would say it wasn’t worth the money but the hotel had a $130 credit for the service, so we only had to pay the gratuity. Definitely worth $25 bucks but I would find it difficult to justify ever paying full price for a massage here.

Also: there is a sauna in the locker room. No steam room, no hot tub, no co-Ed amenities for couples.

Not thumbs down, but no thumbs up either. No thumbs.......

Booked an 80 min massage online, unfortunately I booked it a day earlier by mistake. I show up Saturday and you think they let me go Saturday? NOPE, they told me that the $210 I paid on Friday is non-refundable BUT they'd be gracious enough to give me a 20% discount for that day. OH GEE THANKS, LET ME SPEND $400 on a massage because you guys aren't professional enough to offer a customer some relief for a mistake booked online.

Anyway fine, the 2 stars is really for the massage, my wife said it was weird, they did all these stretches and pulled her leg and arms as they massaged. She said it wasn't all that relaxing. My advice is skip it and go to the new Spa that just opened up under the Marriot, its literally walking distance from the Hyatt and my guess is the management there is much more...

One of the best spa experiences I’ve had ever! I did the get away package and all 3 services (massage, facial, body scrub) were phenomenal. I had 3 different technicians and they were all very skilled, friendly and professional. Nothing felt generic like many places do. It felt customized and not cookie cutter mass production. I came in from Connecticut for the day and will definitely be back! Lovely decor with beautiful views of the ocean. Do give them a try if you’re looking for a great spa...
