Pine Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful place Great great location"

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, I love coming here. Will be down again soon."

Carmel Wayfarer Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location and we liked the room"

La Playa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Wonderful Honeymoon Experience! There was absolutely nothing not to love about this beautiful property! From the moment we arrived, the staff was amazing, welcoming, and attentive. The complimentary breakfast was incredible and far exceeded our expectations! The grounds and pool area are simply stunning—romantic, peaceful, and the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The beach is just a short, enjoyable downhill walk away, making the location even more special. We also made a little tradition of visiting Bud’s Bar most evenings for a relaxing nightcap, which quickly became one of our favorite parts of the day. Now, you might think that’s the best of it all… but our upgraded room, #408, was truly the icing on the cake! The breathtaking views overlooking the beautiful grounds and the beach were everything we could have hoped for and more. Waking up to that scenery each morning was simply unforgettable. My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon, and this property provided exactly the romantic, relaxing, and memorable experience we were looking for. We will be back!!!"

"Le Petit Pali was very nice and easy to stay for downtown access. The front desk staff could have been a little more friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable but really no closet for hanging clothes. We enjoyed our stay, but thought there were a few things that could have been a bit more personalized or special."

Nice location; you can walk to Carmel in just a few minutes and the view is great from the deck. I highly recommend it."
