This hotel is very expensive by anyones standards. It is some, but not an impossible distance from other towms. That being said, it is located with a view of the most beautiful scenery along California`s coast. Each room is well designed and the refrigerator is stocked with wine, cheese, crackers,cookies,etc. Great for a picnic. The restaurant is beautifully done and the food is fancy and well done.

Wow , I was blown away but this resort. From views, to friendly and helpful staff, to cleanliness of the room. Had massage as well and absolutely loved it. The gourmet meals were so delicious and to my surprise they were all included in your stay, breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway this place is a must! I will definitely come back. I donāt usually write reviews but i was so impressed buy this hotel. Every detail was taught through. Loved it ā„ļø

Beautiful location and the space is quaint. The cabins are so cozy, and there are several beautiful spots to see the sunrise, sunset and all the stars. Dreamy space, and close to several trails.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. This hotel exceeded my expectations! The staff was extremely friendly & accommodating! The hotel itself is GORGEOUS - so clean & new and feels like home. Lovely outdoor seating areas with fire pits (and blankets if you need them). Love all the complimentary touches - wine at the bar, continental breakfast and room snacks. (Unfortunately, my husband and I had to leave very early in the morning, before the continental...

At first I didn't know what to expect from this resort seeing as it was literally right in the middle of the hills and grass area. From the main street, it didn't look like much, but once you get into the driveway, it opens up to a beautiful location. The valet and busboys are spot on and every helpful. The check-in process was a breeze and took only a few minutes. We were then escorted to our gorgeous room where the mini fridge was stocked and there were snack bowls filled with fresh fruit...

Stayed here to celebrate my wife's birthday. The room and service were great. Location was in the middle of downtown Carmel, so everything was walking distance. The breakfast meat quiche was delicious. The bathtub had jets, which was very relaxing. The parking lot is a bit tricky to maneuver, but there is also street parking. Walls might be a bit on the thin side. Definitely heard the next-door neighbors "in the act," which may have been the only negative part of our stay.

The grounds are beautifully decorated and inspire serenity. For the price though, the carpet was stained, the side table lamp had a terrible odor, the tiles in bathroom were coming off and the tub sealant was cracked. We did enjoy the location of our room, the fireplace, the breakfast and the service was excellent.

We booked this to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The hotel upgraded us to an ocean view at no charge. It was quiet and we could hear the ocean waves at night. There were e-bikes to rent which was great- the first hour was free. Breakfast was served to our room at the time we requested and a nightly turn down service with a cookie was an added bonus. The fitness room had a good amount of weights and the location of the hotel was so close to the ocean. I would definitely go back! Loved it!

Loved the outdoor fireplace; even though it's public, it's built for privacy. Loved being able to walk to the main street shopping and the beach. I will stay here again.

Carmel Valley Ranch is a beautiful location. We really loved the view from our room, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was wonderful just to hike around the 500 acre property, play Bocce ball and wander around the facilities.

The hotel is newly renovated and honestly I love this hotel. It gives cozy vibe and aesthetic is pretty nice. The breakfast is phenomenal I didnāt get to try all of it but the burrito and waffles are
