Meritage Resort and Spa

Napa, Napa Valley Wine Region

Virgin rating

The hotel

You know you’ve reached wine country when you arrive at Meritage Resort & Spa. On the threshold of Napa Valley, its design may be Tuscan-inspired, but its soul is pure Napa, with views of a grapevine-covered slope as you swim, hiking (or strolling) trails through nine acres of vineyards, an underground tasting room, and wine served at every turn. But it’s also a place that recognises exceptional wine should be paired with life’s other luxuries: separate adult and family pools, al fresco fireplaces and whirlpools, lazy Sunday brunches, and wining and dining venues like award-winning Siena, the Crush bowling lounge, a café-come-gelateria, and a luxury wine bar. But it’s the Estate Cave that promises the most indulgence; 40 ft underground, it hosts a wine tasting room and Spa Terra’s steam grottos and soaking pools.

Beautiful hotel, very clean and impressive service. The staff are remarkably well trained and willing to assist in any way to elevate the experience. Many gluten free options and the staff is extremely accommodating. It’s difficult to mention just one associate because everyone was above and beyond.

The property was beautiful. We stayed for 3 nights and had poor experience. Upon checking in the room had no soap or lotion to request in a crib upon making a reservation in at 10 o’clock at night and still no crib my second room housekeeping open the door with the do not disturb sign on at 10 am and stated that the room was supposed to be vacant. We had a package that we purchased upon checkout we wanted to make sure we got the resort credit and they stated that it wasn’t eligible and which made me feel like it was false advertising and what was offered in the package. Very disappointed I won’t be returning. Read less

A, the room had a musty odor. It helped to open the balcony window in winter and run the exhaust fan . B. The prices for cash bar beverages was out of line too expensive. C. The staff was great.... A proper survey does not require a minimum character limit..

Had dinner at olive and hay. Eunice was our server and she was great. She let us know suggestions of what we should consider in terms of ordering and kept us up to date on how long it would take for our meal to be ready. Food is as good. Highly recommend Olive and Hay!

The room was very nice, loved the view from the balcony. There are a ton of amenities and nearby shops. Dakota was especially friendly and helpful during our stay. He went above and beyond to make sure we got our luggage up to our room and had everything we needed.
