“Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort seems ideal for active families, particularly those with younger children, looking for a packed recreational program. The water park, bay access for kayaking, and bike trails create a lively environment, while the overall cleanliness is regularly mentioned. In my opinion, it distinguishes itself as a place where the focus is squarely on kid-friendly activity within a resort setting.”
