I think for the price it could have been cleaner and there were obvious signs or wear and tear inside the room.
Everything was excellent!!! Starting at the check in, Maya was so friendly and helpful.
I love everything from Carter State Winery and Resort. We enjoy the pool and the Jacuzzi was so relaxing. I’ll be back . Thank you for everything.
Our stay was exactly what we wanted. Peaceful with a beautiful view of the vineyards. The resort is quiet and pool area was nice. The pool is in need of resurfacing but otherwise was great. I especially enjoyed the sunrise view with the hot air balloons in the early morning. Rooms were clean and spacious. The resort is only open for breakfast and lunch so be sure to plan for dinner at a nearby location. We will be back!
We loved the resort very clean, good food, good wine tasting. The most beautiful thing was to have the vineyard right outside your door beautiful views. We loved it.
Staying during the week highly advise. Wineries much more available and you can enjoy the wines and ambience. Our son loved the pool and the bunnies and lizards outside a bonus!
The only reason I didn't rate Carter as a 5 out of 5 was because of two things: 1) expectations weren't set correctly - the pictures are misleading (there's no evening dinner options on site) and the walkable distances were misleading (we were advised by staff to not walk anywhere); 2) the staff didn't proactively offer useful information (e.g., there's a free shuttle to their sister winery that has a dinner restaurant, spa, and wine tastings or the fact that hotel guests receive a wine tasting discount at the winery). Other than that, everyone was very friendly, the pool was great, the wine was good, and we actually did walk across the street to another winery for dinner (just a little risky). :)
We had a wonderful stay! The balcony overlooking the winery was our favorite part, especially during sunset. The view was absolutely stunning.
The staff was incredibly kind and made us feel very welcome. We truly appreciated the excellent service and hospitality.
The only suggestion I have is regarding the pool area. It didn't appear as clean as we expected, so we chose not to use it.
Other than that, everything exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. We also look forward to trying your sister property, South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, on our next visit.
This was one of the best places I have stayed at. I’d rate it a 10. I was celebrating my 25 year anniversary and this place gave us a relaxing and peaceful experience to never forget. Thank you Carter Estates.
