Carneros Resort and Spa

Carneros was a simply perfect getaway for our 25th wedding anniversary. The accommodations were stunning and beyond comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and impeccably maintained. The amenities and activities were plentiful and we were well fed and hydrated! Cannot wait to return.

Our family of four, including two young children, stayed for a few days during Thanksgiving 2023, and we loved everything about Carneros, starting with the warm and friendly reception. Our 5-year-old especially enjoyed the Gnome scavenger hunt around the property, which was a perfect way to explore the grounds. Her prize at the end was a cookie from the onsite shop, and since our visit, she has been asking to return—she now associates Napa with fun and exploration, thanks to Carneros. We stayed in the Garden Suite, which was ideal for our family. It’s made up of two individual cottages connected by a large deck in a private backyard, giving us both the space and privacy we needed while still being able to keep an eye on the kids. One evening, we had dinner at FARM, but the experience was just okay. Unfortunately, our server was cold and seemed uninterested in making us feel welcome. The only other downsides were the distance from wineries (at least the ones we visited) and the musty smell in our kids’ room. However, we can’t wait to return to Carneros overall!

Carneros Resort and Spa is a real GEM! It has great amenities, beautiful surroundings, excellent staff, wonderful food and wine and pickleball courts!!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to book a special vacation. We definitly will be returning:)

Who serves only one egg Benedict? This place does with side of bacon including a hair. Salt and pepper that's what I would call the flavors are as because majority of flavors have escaped. Only good thing about this place is hard working bell boys. Evening and brunch experience was so bad we went to near by Stanley ranch. For this price point the place was let down. We asked for quiet place , they gave the busiest room on the block, I guess it's hard to read notes. Move to four seasons or Stanley ranch it's not worth it. I am dreading to stay another night but couldn't wait to write this review.

This is a difficult review. It's a spectacular property. It's just not what I expected - at all, it's not my style, it felt more like glamping. AND to be fair, I can see where this might be a 4 star or better to others, it's just not to me. The room pictures are a bit generous. I found the room to be small, missing several amenities and the indoor/outdoor shower had some big fat bugs crawling in and out which is something I don't really love. It was like a tiny cottage but the use of so much flouted tin almost tips it into a feeling of shantytown. It had a small outdoor area with a soaking tub, lounger chairs and fireplace. Didn't really use it. The property layout is much like a mini community. Little hubs or five or six cottages each. It seems like there was wedding after wedding and event on event, clearly it's a destination for events. The property overall is cinematic, vineyards and hills of greenery. Very well appointed. The pool is very popular, music weekends very active. They have about cabanas. Pricey, about $600. The food overall was good. Lots of clean, garden grown produce. Very accommodating to menu requests. There are three or four restaurants that are nearly exactly the same menu, with a few different twists, that I suspect come out of one main kitchen. There is one restaurant I think Farm, that is more independent and that meal was superb. We had a few minor communication issues and room issues but they were resolved easily and quickly. If you love an outdoorsy feel, you might really love this property. I'm more of a four seasons customer and did not think this was really quite on par for fine hotel and resort, however, disclaiming this once again, I do see that for some people it could be. The location certainly is terrific for wineries and tastings.
