Resort Reviews for Wyndham Newport Overlook

I may be biased as I own a unit here as this is my favorite place to stay in the Newport area. It is a great area with many things to do, and fairly quiet at night with no downtown bar noise. Perfect for families with plenty of space in the Townhouse. I have stayed at unit 1 in the past before I bought my unit here, and while there is no water view from most of the unit, there is a partial water view from the back patio and guest bedroom. It is not a look out your window water view as Unit 1 is the top of the hill and the most partial water view of many of the units at the Newport Overlook but full water views inches from the water is more money everywhere you go. I know I can't afford the Townhouses that have the ideal water views nearby

Jamestown is a wonderful area, friendly people, convenient to so many other towns and attractions. Just be sure of what you are getting when you reserve at the Overlook condos. I asked owner for an water view for my elderly mother (as she wouldn't be going out a lot), and was assured all the units had water views. They do not. To see a view at our unit, you had to go outside in the back yard and even then the view was distant. The inside of the condo was dark and there was no view of anything but a fence on one side and a barbecue grill on the other side of the unit. The price is right and the units are clean and well-kept.

Hi, Beware the condo rentals that say water views, because many of these condos at the Newport Overlook have no views. The interiors are very nice and clean, but the owner in Unit 1 told me all the units have water views when I asked her to send me pictures. She sent me stock pictures from Wyndham's website, and not her own pictures of her unit. Her price was much lower than everyone else's price, and I should have known you get what you pay for. Don't go for the cheaper price at this resort. I don't know if I am allowed to post names here, but her price for the week was $900. She said she gave me the facts, but I was misled. Jamestown is a beautiful and relaxing place to visit. I also enjoyed Newport and Narragansett.

I loved this place as a child and as I grew It changed only for the better. For 10 years I took my own family of 4 to this place. My children loved it and jamestown was so good to me. Visit chompmist charlies for the best calamari around and there are parks and fun everywhere. The pool and Hot tub are clean and great The Unit we had holds some of my dearest memories! I would live there if it was feasable! The rocky beach a veiw are amazing. Enjoy if you go!

The resort was recently completely remodeled and updated.

Absolutely fabulous location. Overlooking Newport harbor. Watch the tall ships enter from ports throughout the world. Close to the magnificent mansions just across the bay. Finest seafood restaurants on the east coast. Something of interest for all age groups. A vacation to be remembered forever.
