Hospitality was excellent and all the staff was very friendly. The room and amenities were great. You can't beat the location. It's just a few minutes from the beach and the main shopping area in Carmel. We appreciated the amenities that were offered on top, like a private driver bringing you to and picking you up from your dinner reservation or their happy hour with free cocktails in the afternoon or warm cookies in the evening. The champagne breakfast was incredible and easily one of the best breakfast buffets we've ever had offering a wide variety of options. We also appreciated the hotel bar Bud's, a dark & moody cocktail bar with fantastic cocktails and excellent food. We ended up spending quite some time there. Overall we had a fantastic time, and can't wait to visit again. We highly recommend the place. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The service was exceptional and the grounds were lovely ##### Leah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### La Playa Hotel Carmel The hotel was quiet, clean and very close to the water. It’s an easy walk to downtown, to the water and shopping. The brunch they offer is amazing! Wonderful selection of fresh food! ##### Barbara Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber Dec 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities La Playa Hotel in Carmel is truly our favorite place to stay. Nothing else compares. From the moment you arrive, you feel wrapped in a level of warmth and sophistication that only La Playa delivers. The hotel effortlessly blends luxury with historic charm, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and elevated. Breakfast here is unforgettable. The spread is incredible, and the salmon caper hash browns are absolutely to die for, one of the best dishes we have ever had anywhere. Enjoying it all with ocean views has become one of our favorite traditions. The staff is consistently on point as well: attentive, professional, friendly, and always a step ahead in making sure every detail of your stay is perfect. If you are looking for a place where luxury meets historic sophistication, where every stay feels special and every moment feels relaxed, La Playa is it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/91dcb60a-e9a5-4360-bf65-53580f32d367-1765416018710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amber Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were great, breakfast was incredible.

Restaurant is nice. Food was great. Service at restaurant was great. Front Desk did not honor my reservation. Said it did not exist and was very difficult. Said call Expedia and figure it out.

Rooms and common areas are very well appointed and relaxing. The door to our room didn’t close tightly which was odd. Free parking and breakfast were included, except an expresso at breakfast was chargeable ($10) and there was a $60 ‘amenity’ charge added to the bill. These mixed messages put a cloud over an otherwise exceptional stay. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities My wife and just celebrated our wedding anniversary.
