Newport Bay Club at Disneyland Paris is a premium-priced resort, and its not short of positive guest reviews, but is it value for money?
We dove into guest reviews to find out if guests feel they’re getting their money’s worth at this lakeside Disneyland Paris hotel.
Here’s what guests have to say about the value, comfort, and overall experience at Newport Bay Club.
Are guests satisfied?
Most guests who stay at Newport Bay Club say they’re pleased with what they’re getting in return for the premium-priced theme park hotel.
Newport Bay Club’s location, just a short walk or shuttle ride to the parks, stands out as a major plus. Many guests highlight the convenience of being close to Disney magic yet far enough away to relax in a quieter and comfortable setting at the end of the day.
Families, in particular, feel that the themed decor, spacious rooms, and access to character experiences add a touch of magic that enhances their stay, making the price tag feel justified.
Nevertheless, guest reviews do often mention some maintenance issues as well as negative comments about the ‘dated’ room facilities - compared to the nearby Hotel New York - Art of Marvel, which usually has a very similar price.
It is a premium experience?
For many guests, the higher price point is justified by Newport Bay Club’s theming, ambiance, excellent location, and resort facilities.
In particular, guests staying on the Compass Club level enjoy added perks like exclusive check-in, a private lounge with complimentary breakfast, and afternoon tea. These paid-for upgrades are said to elevate the guest experience.
Still, some guest reviews claim that for the price, they expected a higher quality experience and accommodation, especially for a premium Disney property.
Nevertheless, despite some mixed reviews, the general view is that Newport Bay Club’s premium price reflects the overall Disneyland Paris resort experience.
It’s clear that Newport Bay Club may not be a perfect luxury stay, but the majority of guests feel that the memorable Disney touches and on-site amenities justify the cost.
Regret or repeat?
Most guest reviewers than not say that they would stay at Newport Bay Club again.
But, a number of guests do think that they might alternatively try Hotel New York - Art of Marvel or Sequoia Lodge - respectively, the resort that’s slightly higher priced and the resort that’s cheaper.
Maintenance issues and dated room facilities are the often cited complaints among guests looking to stay elsewhere next time.
Thoughts …
Overall, Newport Bay Club mostly appears to satisfy guests, especially families and Disney enthusiasts.
It may not be the height of luxury, or provide the modernity of other nearby hotels, but, still, guest reviews see it as a good blend of convenience and Disney magic for the price.
For some guests though, their requirements may be better met by either of the nearby Disneyland Paris resorts Hotel New York - Art of Marvel, or Sequoia Lodge.
