    Another great day on the lake !! Definitely recommend coming here for boating and tubing! It was a lot of fun. The staff, was helpful and understanding. Even though we were running late, they were still able to make going out a good experience. I will definitely definitely have to come back with my friends again and jetskii or tube again.

    What an absolutely perfect place and way to spend Thanksgiving with family and friends. I have visited Lake Berryessa before but this was a first "roughing it" lakeside in small cabins. Not enough superlatives for this latest adventure. The cabins are small sleeping anywhere from 2 to 6 people. You'd have to check with marina staff to determine the maximum. The sleeping areas of our Eagle's Nest were nicely appointed and included all bedding and towels as do all the cabins. Nice not to have to schlep all that stuff with you. The living space is open, friendly and sunny. The large covered deck is a huge plus -- plus more private with gated and enclosed ends. Each cabin is different. I did a pre-visit and was able to see the cabins to make my selection. Some cabins are also pet friendly. Kitchen's are well equipped but you'll definitely want to inquire about what that means if you plan any serious cooking. Additional ovenproof bake ware would have helped and we did bring some additional pots. Aluminum foil and plastic wrap and plastic containers for food storage in the fridge are up to you. The full-size gas grill on the deck was fantastic -- cooked our turkey -- it also has another burner if the interior stove top is full. The bath includes nice touches of soap, shampoo and conditioner and little packs with Q-tips and sewing kits. The marina store has the usual odds and ends but you'll definitely want to bring all your food and spices. Markley Cove staff was extremely helpful and friendly so don't be afraid to ask questions about what to bring or not to bring. Of course for boaters and anglers....this is heaven! Recreation enthusiasts will not lack for things to do. Next time hope to stay in one of the lakeside cabins. While they don't have covered decks, they overlook the lake! Upper level cabins have forest views but are still very nicely situated. We had four people in our cabin and fortunately the November temps accommodated us so we could spend time on the deck. In colder and wet weather, the 6-person cabins might feel cramped without the use of outdoor spaces. Certainly warm months are more crowded and probably a bit more noise. Visiting during the off-season late fall and winter months made this a quieter and more restful experience. See for yourself!

    We made a reservation at Markley Cove Resorts for my boyfriend's birthday, and although there are reviews on here that had mixed average/bad experiences, we had a different experience! To start off, driving to the resort was pretty easy (we live in Davis, CA and it was about a 30 minute drive up). When we arrived at the store, we were greeted by a woman (forgot her name but she was pretty nice). I told her we were there for a Cabin (The Monticello) and that we requested for an earlier check-in. (Our check-in was at 3pm, but we checked-in at 12pm! Luckily, nobody rented the night before) Sean, the guy standing next to her knew who I was already and remembered my request earlier on in the week. Sean took us into the office and finished all of the paperwork! I must admit, I had so many questions about the different things to do around the area. Sean had a great attitude and answered all of my questions in a very professional way! From there, he gave us many different documents/resources to help us navigate around the area and the trails/attractions nearby. Before leaving the store, he even gave us a free bag of ice, which was VERY helpful during our stay. Price: We went at the end of April, so the price was cheap! Definitely cheaper than a hotel room and for the amount of people that are allowed definitely made the price worth it (April was still low season, high season starts May 1st so I definitely recommend reserving a cabin during low season. April was perfect because the weather was starting to get nicer. Cabin: Our Cabin was The Monticello cabin. It had a large closed patio (which was by far my favorite spot in the cabin). There was a huge grill and perfect for entertaining our guests. We brought our dog and he absolutely loved lounging with us as well. Love that this place (and all the cabins) are dog friendly! Inside you'll find a nice living room area and a full sized kitchen with a huge fridge. There's one bathroom, which was fine since we only stayed there for a night. Would have been great if there were 2 bathrooms, though. There was a master's bedroom with a Queen sized bed. Besides the patio being our favorite spot, we absolutely loved the loft area! The loft had 4 beds!! Everyone had their own bed so we were all comfortable. The only downfall with the loft was that we all had to crouch down a little to get by, but it was meant for sleeping anyways, not standing. Tips for the Cabin: They have all the necessities you may need from towels (you get 6 bath towels), blankets, and pillows. If you are planning on cooking/grilling, they have a lot of the things you may need already, which was great because our group did not want to bring our whole kitchen from home. The cabin included: coffee pot, microwave, plats, salad bowls, soup bowls, glasses, wine bottle opener, grater, array of knives pot holders, pots with lids, spatulas, and the basic utensils. However, if you plan on just relaxing and do not want to deal with washing a lot of dishes during your stay, then feel free to bring your own plastic dishes/utensils. Trail: We planned a hiking day trip at The Blue Ridge Trail about a mile or two from the cabin. We took our dog and he absolutely LOVED IT! (There are 3 trails--2 strenuous and 1 moderate) Monticello Dam: The Monticello Dam was awesome!! We always saw videos of it online, but didn't realize that it was just 30 minutes away! The water level was pretty low, so you can see the structure, but it was still pretty cool. (Pictures included in review) Overall Experience/Tips: Wonderful cabin (I recommend 'The Monticello) if you ever want to bring a bigger group of friends or family out for a relaxing night/weekend! There won't be any signal at the Cabin, but it will be a great way to enjoy a nice time with the people you go with! With there being no signal, PLAN your trip accordingly and make sure to ask questions before you go! I will be including a short video of the cabin itself, but take my word for it and reserve today! And a big thank you to Sean, although some yelpers may have had bad customer service experiences at this resort, Sean made us feel right at home. Keep up the GREAT work, we will see you again!

    Too much fun in the sun.

    Staff is helpful. Resort is well kept. Our boat has been docked here on a poly-lift since berryessa marina closed. Last weekend we thought we forgot our life jackets for the littles and we're able to buy some from the store and rental dock. When we realized we left them on the boat at the end of last summer they took them back no problem. The return process was quick and easy, even though one of the tags was missing. Our first weekend up this year the generator on the dock wasn't working, the maintenance guy was quick to come help and figure it all out so we could get our boat up. I believe his name was Alex, he was very polite and showed me how to fix it for next time. We like this place enough to be tossing around the idea of purchasing a houseboat so that we can stay on the lake again. If you choose to rent a cabin please note that they do not have easy water access. Some have quite a hike down and back, even with the water high. But the cabins are very nice. We have enjoyed staying in them in summers past.

    We come here religiously ever weekend, dragging the boat up from Walnut Creek. Great facilities, easy launching. Recovering the boat can be interesting sometimes as there are a lot of drunk Oorahs that make for some great entertainment later in the afternoons on the summer weekends. BUT, that being said its not Markley Coves fault. It's a superb gateway to getting afloat on Berryessa. We recommend it in a heartbeat. :-)

    Stayed here for our 1st time Labor Day weekend! We got a 6 person cabin, which was also great! I can't speak highly enough of the staff and Austin! They all were big time helpful. The only drag for the whole weekend was, this side of the mountain doesn't have cell service. Can't wait to come back!

Lobby is tiny and we were greeted while they were busy with other visitors. Gave us a three level upgrade with outdoor tub but too many leaves and pollen to use. Called for housekeeping and nobody arrived. Have to call to get slippers and tooth brushes and only bought one set even though they confirmed for two. Lounge sets were not covered prior to our arrival which I would expect as part of housekeeping. Hence can't use lounge chairs and patio furniture without cleaning. Spiders on outside furnitures and inside cottage had one dangle down its web right in front of me while sitting on the sofa. Bathtub inside is broken and can't use to take a bath and looks like it's been broken for a while. I liked the folding patio door setup as allows a nice view of the roses in the yard and a nice breeze but a lot of bugs. Could be helpful if there's lavender plants in the backyard. Nice fire place in backyard that can run really hot and keep bugs off you and a nice place to relax in the morning. Shower had nice heated floors but tub not working detracted from the experience. Service is great and everyone was ultra friendly but hard product is missing the spot.

We were greeted warmly upon checkin and thanks to Hilton diamond, we were upgraded to a nicer cottage. The person checking us in enthusiastically described the bryte balance beds in these upgrades rooms that allow personalized settings. However when we got to the room, we couldn't find the instructions to adjust the bed. Long story short, there was a lot of back and forth and conflicting communication from different staff members. For some reason our upgraded room did not have the updated beds- still not clear to me why since the website advertises these upgraded beds in our room type. In any case, the staff was nice to offer a consolation bottle of wine, which unfortunately we did not drink as we were celebrating our baby moon. The property itself is beautiful and two pool areas that includes a separate heater pool and a hot tub. It was quite empty when we were there. The common area near the restaurant had a lot of fire pits for enjoying. The room was nice , very spacious with heated floors and an expansive private patio with outdoor tub and outdoor shower along with outdoor fireplace. Requesting service was hit or miss. We tried texting as instructed which took ~30 min to respond. When trying to call, at times, phone would ring without anyone picking up. We requested additional water and matches for outdoor fireplace several times, but neither of these ever arrived so we gave up. As Hilton Diamond members, breakfast was included. However it didn't seem like a special benefit since it seems like breakfast is included for many who book direct. For a pricey luxury resort, I thought breakfast was a bit lacking - with only 1 hot option (quiche). The rest were fruit, cheese and charcuterie and bread/bagel. A la Carte items could be ordered for a fee and anything more than black coffee (eg cappuccino) would be extra. This is better than the $15/p credit at other Hilton properties but given that this is a SLH and a high end luxury resort, I guess I expected breakfast to be a bit more substantial. Given that this was a free night award, I wasn't too disappointed, but if I stayed here with the cash rate, I think my rating would drop to 3-3.5.

I will say first, from what I saw of the hotel, it is nicely appointed and has great staff. I would consider coming back just to stay. Our lunch was also pretty nice. The service was rather slow, especially since we were one of two occupied tables for most of the time we were there (mid-week), but the food was very good and fresh/healthy feeling. Now, on to the spa. I chose the 80 min peptide lifting facial for $395. First of all, $395 is a price you might pay for a full service spa. This is not that. There is a tiny locker room with a closet sized sauna in it that could fit one or two people. There is one shower and a sink to clean up in. No other facilities. Second of all, the facial was nothing special to cost that much. I have better facials at home at my local salon, and usually pay less than $100. At the end of the facial the esthetician, who had just spent the last 75 mins cleaning all the gunk off my face and out of my pores, then proceeded to put a nasty tinted moisturizer all over my face! I asked her about it at the time, told her that I do not wear makeup of any kind, and even told her I was concerned about it getting on the collar of my light grey sweater. She just slathered it on. Told me if I didn't like it I could use a tissue to wipe it off! When I went to get dressed after my service I looked in the mirror and saw that I did in fact look like a tangerine. Thankfully I had some cleaning wipes in my bag, and was able to get it all off. So I basically wiped off $395 of facial in two minutes with a cheap drug store towelette. Great. So, basically, stay at the hotel or maybe trying out the restaurant, but avoid the spa!

We had 3 nights planned and only got to stay 1. I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Raymond, the front office manager. You made our decision to leave an no brainer and we didn't have any stress about not staying the other 2 nights. We will forever be loyal to Bardessono, due to the love and care that was showed to us by you that morning while we were in distress. Also thank you to the staff who was there on the night shift for parking our car when we returned from the emergency vet at 3:30 AM. While we were sad to leave we most definitely are looking forward to the next time we come back.

    My boyfriend and I spent the New Year's holiday at the Westin Verasa Napa, and the experience made…read moreour trip feel both relaxing and well‑connected to everything Napa has to offer. We flew into Sacramento Airport and made the drive to Napa, which took about an hour and fifteen minutes depending on traffic. Once we arrived, the location of the hotel immediately stood out. It sits just outside downtown Napa--about a 9‑minute walk or a quick 2‑minute drive--and the surrounding area is flat, safe, and very walkable. From the front entrance near the valet, a simple left turn leads you straight to Oxbow Public Market and the Napa Riverfront. The Napa Valley Wine Train station is also right next door, which adds a unique charm to the property. The hotel itself is built along the Napa River on land that was once part of the city's early railroad and milling district, and that history is reflected in the setting. Another highlight is that this Westin is one of the few with a Michelin‑star connection through its signature restaurant, La Toque. Upon arrival, valet greeted us immediately, as valet parking is the only option. Check‑in is located just to the right, and the first thing that caught my attention was the wall of wine bottles--a thoughtful detail that reflects Napa's identity as a premier wine region. The lobby is spacious, inviting, and beautifully designed, creating a strong sense of arrival. We stayed in room 2079, a superior one‑bedroom suite that felt more like a private residence than a typical hotel room. The suite included a dining table, a pull‑out couch, two televisions (one in the dining area and one in the bedroom), a full kitchen, and a private balcony overlooking the courtyard. The space was clean, comfortable, and well‑maintained. The bathroom was also impressive, and the waterfall showerhead quickly became one of my favorite features. Overall, the Westin Verasa Napa offered a comfortable and convenient stay with excellent access to downtown, the riverfront, and nearby attractions. The thoughtful design, spacious rooms, and ideal location made our New Year's visit smooth and enjoyable. It's a property that enhances the Napa experience in all the right ways.

    When we first arrived in Napa, we originally had reservations at the Marriott but moved over here…read morebecause the Marriott did not meet standards, we've come to expect from the Bonvoy family. Coming here was a night and day difference! As ambassadors, they upgraded us to a 1 bedroom suite and it was a game changer. Huge room with a kitchen and separate bedroom. The staff was amazing, and the location was really convenient. We had our dogs with us and there was plenty of outdoor space for walks.
