Purple Orchid Resort & Spa

Pleasantly surprised and blown away! This is cute B&B in Livermore, close to wineries, breathtaking views and well kept grounds. I am generally not a huge fan of B&B, but my husband booked a weekend for us to get away without kids. We were both surprised about how much we enjoyed our stay. Derek the owner was friendly, generous and made us feel welcome from the start. You can tell that the staff genuinely enjoy working there. Everyone was friendly, smiles and courteous. The room was clean, clearly updated and the bed was SO SO COMFORTABLE. Their breakfast was great, and we were able to enjoy it at poolside in the mornings. Despite being close to home, we definitely will be back for a little staycation. This place went above and what we expected. Thank you so much Purple Orchid for making our weekend amazing.

The Purple Orchid is small inn (10 rooms) but all the amenities you need. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The pool area is excellent and they have food, wine and beer service there during the day. The afternoon wine happy hour is very nice... in the dining room or out by the pool. There is a spa there that we didn't try but had very positive reviews from our fellow guests. . Everyone working there was very nice, knowledgeable and professional. . 5-10 minute drive to several nice wineries, breweries and Poppy Ridge Golf Course. .

This review is based solely on a private celebration we had scheduled in the orchard at Purple Orchid. I have been a client at their spa for 6 years now. I really enjoy their spa services and have nothing bad to say about their spa. However, their event coordination is terrible. In May, we had a private event booked, and Taylor was the coordinator. Not only did she make multiple false promises, she was highly unhospitable on the day of the event. Me and my guests felt a lot of hostility from her and the attitude she gave us. First, when we arrived, a lot of things were not set up yet. Second, she quoted (AND WE PAID) for 3 servers, we barely got one. And I say barely because that server was going to walk away after setting up the food and we asked her if she was going to stay, and she seemed so confused. She did end up staying and helped serve food, but I am sure she was not informed to do so. On top of that, it was 100+ degrees and we did not have umbrellas. My aunt, who booked the celebration, sent Taylor three separate emails about the weather and the set up in the week leading up to the event, to which Taylor did not respond. On the day of, my aunt asked Taylor again about umbrellas for shade. There were 10+ umbrellas in the pool area, and about 5 of them were not being used. She was adamant that we could not use those because they were for guests. She had a very nasty attitude and very demeaning body language. We are also guests, and paying customers, we did not have this event for free. In fact, the event was quite expensive. I would not recommend having any celebration here, especially if Taylor is your coordinator. I hope she learns some hospitality, and to also be transparent and honest to guests instead of upcharging for subpar services. Now, I feel awkward going to their spa after being treated this way at our celebration. It really ruined my experience here.

This was our second stay at The Purple Orchid and the experience was once again awesome. Beautiful property, friendly innkeepers, and wonderful staff. Two minute drive to the neighboring wineries. Centrally located to both The San Francisco Bay Area as well as Sacramento.

We came upon the Purple Orchid while researching places to stay while in town for a birthday celebration/girls weekend; so glad we chose it! The property was beautiful and serene. The weather was just right for some pool-side relaxation . My companion utilized the spa services and was very pleased with her experience. I’ve see other reviews saying it’s far away from restaurants etc. but we found the location close enough (less than a 15 minute Lyft ride) but far enough away to have a well rounded experience. We will certainly return!

We enjoyed 3 days at this Inn. We absolutely LOVED it! Our room was perfect and very relaxing. The afternoon wine event and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa services were top of the line and the hot tubs were perfect in temperature.
