10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay immensely! The property is pristine and modern, with thoughtful touches throughout. The warm hospitality set the tone right away when we were escorted to our room. Both the courtyard pizza and the innovative tapas breakfast were standout highlights, truly delicious and a brilliant concept. Having stayed at countless boutique resorts on our monthly travels, this experience truly stands out as one of our favorites. We cannot wait to return."

"Great boutique hotel in Carmel. Close to the main areas in Carmel. Great customer service. Lovely comfortable rooms while not huge are beautiful furnished. Great free extras provided from early morning coffee, a delicious buffet breakfast with egg station, afternoon wine and not forgetting the wonderful chocolate chip cookies in the evening. A real treat."

If you decide to vacation at a 4-star hotel in Carmel, you'll typically find plenty of conveniences to make sure you're comfortable, such as a pool, gym and restaurant. You can enjoy excellent service and upscale surroundings. Go for a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few more bells and whistles — think around-the-clock concierge, on-site spas and opulent turndown services.
