Pros (+) We were upgraded to a suite, and given free wine tasting for my husband and me We got a continental breakfast for two in our room and the view coming out into our patio was so nice
Cons (-) They should have a dinner options onsite
Pros (+) Comfort and style! Good sized room with luxury bedding
Cons (-) For the price per night, I think it should include breakfast which cost us an additional $40.00 plus per day (not I including tip).
Pros (+) Patio overlooking vineyards. Lots of Windows and high ceilings. Loved how big and spacious room was. Soaking tub was awesome.
Cons (-) Ligh switch lighting placement for patio not right. That's all I got on wrong it was fabulous.
Pros (+) We loved the accommodations, the staff was helpful. The wine selection was delicious.
Pros (+) The bathroom was amazing Very clean and large bed we stayed in the king bungalow Overall was the perfect birthday with my boyfriend
Pros (+) Great hotel with excellent costumer service, great facilities and perfect location. It was an excellent choice for our getaway weekend.
Pros (+) If you're looking for romantic getaway, this is it. The rooms and view were excellent. Free wifi, walkin shower, mini frig, and grape vines off your private patio.
Cons (-) The menu was limited.
Pros (+) Bungalows were unreal and a real surprise from the norm of luxury hotel rooms!
Pros (+) Well appointed, spacious private accomodations. The Deluxe Bungalow was a place you wanted to hurry back to, even if it meant cutting wine tasting a bit shorter this trip. The nightly rate through Kayak allowed this property to be affordable; although final Resort charges still brought the nightly stay up to the $300 range. The Resort would like to be charging over $400, and they may consistently ...
Cons (-) Wine tasting charges for Resort Guests were only reduced down to $25. While it was a quality experience, a discount down to $15 would have felt more of an ackowledgement to their Guests. These were the South Coast Reserve wines, but $15 a tasting is still a strong charge as "the discount". Comping the tasting with a two bottle purchase would also be appropriate, which they did not offer.
