Review of The Meritage Resort and Spa, N...

PROS:

PROS:
- friendly service
- nice access to the vineyards

CONS:
- this is not an "upscale" resort. If you look closely at the pictures, or worse, visit it, it resembles the Arrested Development model home. Think of it as the Coppola Winery (plywood and children peeing in a pool) presented by Livermore Outlet Mall.
- it's very expensive, but features such amenities as tacky upholstery, duplicate prints of the same art on the SAME wall, and faux candle dripping wall sconces.
- you truly have to drive through a sad business park just to be able to get here; it's not a magical getaway.

If anyone has any recommendations for a truly upscale resort, please comment here!
