    The Meritage is a pretty sizeable resort in Napa. Check In: The check in was a bit of a disappointment. The line was very long and we waited around 20 to 30 minutes just to make it to the front desk. As the second experience you have on the property (the first is the valet), this felt like a bad start to the stay. But once we made it to the desk, the attendant was friendly, accommodating, and gave a great overview of the amenities and benefits associated with our particular stay. Decor: The overall decor/theme at Meritage is modern vineyard farmhouse - think neutral tones, large windows, and exposed wood beams. It's beautiful, current, and feels elevated. Service: As noted above, check in was solid. And when we asked for a late check out in line with the credit card benefits we have, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a late check out that extended well into the afternoon, which allowed for us to enjoy the property even longer. We had to ask for our room to be cleaned which was a little disappointing. We weren't advised at check in that we needed to ask and for an upscale property that charges a premium for rooms, this was a service that we expected to be included without request. Room: The room was great. Spacious -- has an art deco vibe. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom shower is a good enough size with good water pressure. The vanity on the bathroom is modern with an electric mirror that allows you to tailor the lighting. There's also a coffee station, a desk, drawer for clothes, and when we arrived there were two complementary bottles of water and a bottle of red wine. Amenities: As to the pool, I appreciate that there are two -- a family friendly pool and an over 21 pool. For that, you can forgive the size of the pool, which isn't terribly large. There also a hot tub as well, which was nice for the weather during our stay. I will say that they were fairly lax about enforcing the age restrictions at the pool as on our last day a large group with several children invaded the area. There are several restaurants and lounges and even a little bowling alley, which is such a cool addition to the property. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the Meritage. Though for the cost, I expected a little more at that price level. I'd stay again if offered at a lower price point.

    Promised a view of the stage, and this is what we got.

    UPDATE: After several conversations with management, The Meritage issued a 50 percent credit to my sister's card. While I still believe a full refund was warranted, I appreciate that they ultimately made this adjustment. It does not change our original experience or the inaccurate way parts of it were later described publicly, but in fairness, I wanted to acknowledge that the credit was received.

    This is often a concert venue on weekends - the concerts end by 10 pm and most first rooms are pretty well shielded from the noise. The restaurant, Olive & Hay, is top notch with beautiful plating and innovative flavor combinations. Lobby areas are spacious. The adjoining vineyard offers a pleasant short walk. The spa is very overpriced, but it's uniquely located inside a former underground wine cellar. There is ample parking, even during concerts. Staff were all very pleasant. Toiletries and bedding were nice quality and the room and shower were spacious.

    I stayed at the Meritage Resort and Spa. The room was clean and was upgraded to the second floor with a balcony. The customer service was top not all the way through my trip. They have a few restaurants on site and a great adults only pool which is perfect when you just want to relax. Glad they also have an option of a family pool only as well. I will definitely be back soon.

    Very impressive we stayed for 2 days, attended the Morris Day & the Time Concert with Sheila E who was amazing. My husband purchased these tickets in February for front & center stage. I was right in the front row right dab in the middle.. perfect spot. For the price we paid the conceirge, front desk & valet needs alot of work. The AI they have to basically royre your calls to a voicemail...Not Good. Property is Gorgeous though we'll totally go back.

    The Meritage Resort and Spa is a beautiful resort and a nice place to stay while visiting Napa Valley. Upon check-in, guests are welcomed with a glass of champagne, which is a fun and festive touch and sets a celebratory tone right away. Around 5 PM, the resort offers a small wine tasting near the front desk. When I say wine tasting, I truly mean a sip--the pours were extremely minimal. The gentleman serving was noticeably more generous and friendly with another couple and even offered them a buy-one-get-one coupon for a winery tasting about 30 minutes away. When I asked what he was handing out, he seemed hesitant, but after I directly asked if I could have one as well, he did provide it. Overall, this interaction could have been handled better, and it would have been nice if all guests were made to feel equally welcomed and valued. We were there for an industry gala, and unfortunately the food fell short. The salad was very light on dressing, and the beef was dry and underwhelming. That said, the bartending team did a great job during the event and was one of the highlights of the evening. The next day, I stopped by the spa to inquire about services and pricing. Surprisingly, there was no printed price list available. I had to stand at the reception desk while the attendant read each service aloud. A 50-minute Swedish massage was quoted at around $250, and the overall lack of preparedness and professionalism didn't inspire confidence or make me want to book a treatment. On a positive note, housekeeping was excellent and kept the room very clean and tidy throughout the stay. Did an afternoon celebration wine tasting flight at their winery storefront across the way and it was enjoyable. We sat on large comfy lounge chairs inside and wasn't rushed to move onto the next tasting. Service was good. We had a nice lady with dark hair helping us. Overall, while the resort itself is lovely and Napa is always a fantastic experience, some aspects of service, food, and spa operations could use improvement to truly match the luxury atmosphere the property aims to provide.

    I've been once back in '17 for a gifted massage at their Spa Terra, but most recently returned for my [new-to-me] company's 2025 holiday party held 12/6. Valet parking was covered by the company, and the valet service itself wasn't too bad/long of a wait. Check-in at the main lobby opened at 4PM, I arrived around 4:03PM and this took forever. I was in a line that snaked through the lobby past the bar and the ATM machine! This took almost 45 minutes just to get to one of four or so counters for hotel registration and room check-in. There were definitely at least two other company holiday parties concurrently that night at other areas of the resort. Since it was booked by corporate I didn't have full room details but ended up with a Meritage King room on the 2nd floor, $100 on card for incidentals. The Trinitas Cellars complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. The shower did take awhile for the water to heat up though. The electric mirror with ring light and backlight was neat, and the magnified swivel mirror on the side. TV, wifi, Keurig were fine. Did not avail of the shuttle service to downtown Napa, the pool, fitness or wellness. There were optional reservations for ice skating rink, igloos, fire pits, bowling, or the Crush Lounge too. I also noticed events such as the pop-up Abominable Bar, photo keepsake experience, brunch with Santa, or tea with a Princess. I also noticed the chapel "Our Lady of the Grapes" but left on Sunday morning after the 9:30AM Mass had started. The reception/cocktail hour was held at the Oakville Terrace from 6:00-7:00PM, and the Dinner/Holiday Party was in the Carneros Ballroom from 7:00-11:30PM. The Oakville Terrace is a covered venue (tented for the cold weather) for up to 295 guests; the Carneros Ballroom can accommodate 800+ guests. The reception had a mix of sitting and standing tables, 3 separate open bars, a table for seating cards, and a photobooth setup. This did feel pretty crowded though. One open part of the tent to the outside, otherwise the rest was enclosed. I only got to try 2 of the passed appetizers going around. Once the ballroom doors opened at 7PM, seating was first-come, maybe 8-10 people per table? There was a DJ and dancefloor in the middle of the room too. The dinner was okay. For some reason our table received the salad before the bread, and the bread was handed out individually and not a basket for the table. We started with a beet salad with roasted beets, herbed goat cheese, compressed (?) watermelon, sliced radish, and citrus vinaigrette. The main course was either a meat, fish, or veggie dish. Upon original RSVP in October, the menu for the entrees was listed as: - Filet of Beef with sauteed brussels sprouts, chestnuts, wild mushroom, red wine essence - Sea Bass with celery root puree, grilled corn relish, organic mini rainbow carrots, smashed red potatoes and roasted garlic - Stuffed Portabello with julienned vegetables, butternut squash puree, and pressed potato. In reality, what we got was: - Prime New York with potato pave, caramelized cipollini, roasted broccolini, chimichurri sauce - Pan Seared Bass, celery root puree, glazed baby carrots, grilled artichoke, kaffir lime, beurre blanc - Stuffed Portabella I had the steak, sans steak knife. This was a struggle to cut and eat as the end cut was tough and fat not rendered, pretty rare. The one broccolini was overcooked compared to the other piece, and the potato pave was the best part. I'm not a huge fan of onion. I wish there was an herbed butter or something for the steak, or more potatoes. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake with creme anglaise. The wine was flowing all night, either the chardonnay or cabernet. The entertainment was fun. 11AM checkout was simple with drop boxes for room keys.

    Took a mother/daughter spa get-away to Napa. It has been awhile since I've stayed at Meritage but from what I remembered, I really liked their spa. They have two properties across from each other with plenty of amenities, wine bars, restaurants, spa, and activities, that you technically dont have to leave. When I checked-in at front desk, customer service could've been better. The young lady ran through information and it didn't really cover everything or was clear so I had to ask questions. Couldn't get past the fake smile so I came back the next day to hopefully get someone else and Eric was genuinely helpful which I appreciated. I also tried to get assistance at the concierge's desk on day 2 for other questions about the spa. But I was told by that lady concierge that she couldn't help me and she didn't know where the other concierge was. I dont want to hear what you cant do for me. So that's why I gave 3-stars because customer service needs improvement. Customer service is everything especially when you first arrive at a resort and when the whole purpose of a concierge desk is to help people. Back to the day we checked-in, there were no complementary water bottles in the room so I had to call twice because it took 3hrs to be delivered. Property is well kept from what I can see and our room was clean and comfy. Disappointed that Blend Cafe and Sora Napa was closed. But we improvised and visited the market. This resort is in the middle of office buildings so if you want a more secluded hotel, I suggest going towards St Helena. However, above the spa cave, there's a really nice hilltop to walk among the vineyards and also a chef's garden. It was a beautiful day in November so we enjoyed that.

    Winery and market across the street very convenient
    Mayi B.

    It's a pretty property with a pool, spa, restaurants, and its own vineyard. The rooms were comfortable and clean. I do wish the toiletries were better quality, the shampoo and conditioner felt a bit basic. The staff was friendly, and having a winery and store right across the street was super convenient. My friend booked a lot of rooms since we were celebrating a birthday, but she was charged for absolutely everything, with zero courtesy extended, which was disappointing considering how many rooms she booked. They were also building an ice-skating rink across the street, which would've been fun to try. Overall, it was a nice stay in a beautiful part of Napa Valley.

    Well appointed room.

There were many complimentary beverages available in the lobby and a wine and cheese hour that we took advantage of. Our stay itself was magical. This spot is close to downtown Napa yet away from the crowds, and it was nice to unwind and recharge along the river while we waited for dinner reservations. Room: 10/10 Even though we were on the bottom floor right off the lobby/beverage center, we were not disturbed by noises or other guests which was a plus. Bed: 10/10 Linens were so nice and clean and bed was super comfortable Service: 10/10 Everyone that worked here went above and beyond during our stay that we even brought them back tacos from Mothers Tacos. Wind down service was incredible and not sure if it's because it was a birthday/anniversary weekend for us, but they had little tealight candles in our room for us when we returned. Complimentary Breakfast: 8.5/10 We loved that breakfast came included and was primarily the reason I wanted to book this hotel for my partner to experience for his birthday. Great options for everyone. Only real complaint is that they advertise real maple syrup with their waffle and what ended up coming was the nasty fake stuff. I would think for a place of this caliber and at this price point, the syrup would be as advertised. Bathroom: 7.5/10 Classy nice bathroom, however there was a smell that came out of the shower drain the entire time we were there. Overall, I would definitely return here. The outdoor seating areas were fun to explore and we made good use of the firepits. Great spot to decompress or to celebrate life's special moments with a partner.

Our first visit was in 2023 when they had just opened less than a year. We stayed in an Arbor Cottage, which was the standalone cottage with a super spacious and luxurious bathroom and outdoor shower. Second stay was in 2025 in which we stayed in the Rambler, which also had a spacious bathrooms and outdoor shower and back patio. Downside was that our room was located all the way at the top of the hill by the employee parking, making it a trek to and from the pool. Our most recent stay was in a Acre room, which I think was the best for our family. It was quite spacious with living area but the bathroom was much smaller than the Arbor and Rambler, with no outdoor shower. But in all honesty, it was perfect because my boys cared more about the swimming pool than anything else. During this last visit, we were immediately greeted by Tom, and Isiah helped with our checkin. They were incredibly attentive and helpful. Our previous visits did not have such a warm checkin experience. I also appreciate that they put us in a room closer to the pool. There really is no reason to leave the ranch once you're checked in. The food onsite is incredible, but pricey (it's nominal considering you're already paying a lot to stay though). I will admit they used to have a great deal where kids eat free, and I wish they brought that back. And a must try is the lavender morning bun from Gavel! It's perfectly flaky, smooth, sweetened just right with the lavender sugar that isn't overwhelming. I wish I had bought more to bring home! Overall this is a wonderful resort worth the splurge, especially for families even if it doesn't seem like it at a first glance. They have a shallow kiddy pool as well, and lots of activities for kids on site. There's also breathtaking views from the adults only pool at Halehouse and from Infinity Hill. Totally recommend the splurge if you can!

We especially want to recognize Rachel from Guest Services. She was outstanding. Every time we called with a question or request, she took care of it immediately with kindness and professionalism. She truly made our stay special and deserves to be recognized. A big thank you as well to Ben, the Front Desk Manager, along with Chris, Olivia, and Yazmin at the front desk. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond. The complimentary Mercedes-Benz house cars were an amazing touch and one of our favorite parts of the stay. And the spa is something you won't forget Thank you to the entire Stanly Ranch team for making our visit so unforgettable we can't wait to return.

First impressions: unfortunately there was only valet inside the garage or street parking. I'm not the biggest fan of valet, especially when traveling with so much stuff and a baby, but that was the only option. It is complimentary, though, so it is a positive for many people. The front of the property was also going through if construction and I had a hard time finding my way to the lobby from the street. Luckily a hotel guest coming back led me up to the area. Once inside, the actual interior lobby area is beautiful and fairly spacious. Check in was easy and the service up front was good, nothing bad to say there! After making my way back to our car and going through the valet, we luckily were able to get a cart to Bri g all of our stuff up to our room. I did book our room with points and was pleasantly surprised with our lovely king suite. It was beyond spacious! I did have some issues with cleanliness, but overall, everything was well maintained. We loved the kitchen having so many of the items we would've needed, the spacious bathroom (which honestly, is larger than the actual bedroom!), the fact that you could call for more complimentary water bottles, and wear the provided robes in the closet (although one seemed to be dirty). There is also a complimentary shuttle that can take you to town :) We didn't use the other hotel amenities, such as the pool and bar/restauarant, but loved all the seating inside and outside, as well as the location. Great walkability to many restaurants! Overall, the price was quite high for the experience I had and I am glad I got to use my chase points to help pay for it, but it is still a good option for families and the location is pretty nice along the river!

The room was very spacious, which was greatly appreciated. The AC worked great and the room was nice and clean. The parking attendants charged our car before our drive home, which was wonderful and we appreciated not having to worry about it. One frustration was the hotel transportation was out of commission, but we were told at check in that it was running. The uber from downtown wasn't expensive, but it was an expense we weren't thinking we would to have to pay. We also were charged for dry cleaning when we ordered laundry service, but this was remedied in the end. Even with these snafus I would still definitely recommend the Westin Verasa Napa, and I would stay here again as well.

Solage is nestled right on the Silverado Trail in the heart of Calistoga, and the location is unbeatable--you're basically three minutes from downtown and a short, scenic drive from St. Helena and Yountville. The property itself is stunning. It's got that modern wine-country vibe with about 100 detached studios spread across 20-plus acres. When you're sitting in one of the natural hot spring pools or hitting the cold dips at the spa, it really does feel like world-class luxury. Between the mud slides, the gravity chairs, and the fitness classes, you can easily spend your whole trip without leaving the gates. The Food: Solbar is a must. We had the seven-course New Year's Eve prix fixe with wine pairings over numerous years, and each were equally unique and incredible. It's that perfect balance of farm-to-table "health" food and total comfort dishes. For something more low-key, Picobar by the pool has some of the best Baja-style tacos I've had in NorCal. Plus, the whole place is super dog-friendly, which is a huge win for us. The Experience & Pro-Tip: Definitely book through AmEx Platinum if you can. We used the Fine Hotels + Resorts program and snagged a $300 credit, a late 4 p.m. checkout, and an automatic upgrade. I will say, even "perfect" places have their off moments. This year, despite requesting a room close to the spa months in advance (and confirming twice), they initially tucked us away at the far edge of the property. I wasn't thrilled about hiking across 22 acres in my robe and sandals! I spoke with the front desk, and the concierge actually went back and reviewed my recorded calls to verify the request. They did move us about 30 minutes later to a spot half the distance away, though it lacked the private fenced patio and fireplace of our original booking. I was too tired to keep fighting it and just wanted to get to the spa, so I settled in. Despite that hiccup, the service and the atmosphere here remain some of the best in the world. It's not cheap, but for the memories and the access to Napa's best vineyards, it's worth it every time. Can't wait to be back next year.
