Villa Mara Carmel

Villa Mara Carmel

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were extremely, genuinely, welcoming. My welcoming drink was a pint of Alvarado Street beer, which is a favorite. While I was checking in they also supplied snacks and were genuinely interested in my stay. The room had a free mini-bar with some great snacks. The evening turn down included cookies. Great ocean view from the room. The room also had a balcony which is nice touch. The location is quite and parking was easy. I will stay again."

"We had a great time but were disappointed by the minimal kitchen supplies, pits and pans ( literally 3 total ) and general supplies like trash bags and seasonings ( salt & pepper but nothing else ). For the price we paid, there should be better provisions for families wanting to cook a meal “at home”."
