Lots of nice shops; restaurants pretty expensive but had good food in the two places we ate. Need more days in order to get in all we would have liked: beach; walking; photography. Weather was perfect.AAnonymous - 8.0Scored 8.0

Carmel is an incredibly charming town surrounded by gorgeous nature. Great boutiques, great restaurants, and great scenery. The downside is that it can get very very crowded and it is super expensive.MonicaUnited States - 10Scored 10
Carmel is such an enchanting village!!
Carmel is such an enchanting village!! The shops and art galleries are amazing! The trees and flowers that line all the streets are lush and mature- as the trajectory of the town slopes down gradually to the most beautiful white sand beach that spreads for miles along the Monterey Bay!! There are many dining options and coffee shops too. Truly a world class destination❤️

It is a beautiful, classy, step back in time village with a lovely beach at the foot of Main Street. Dozens of attractive, luscious cafes and restaurants within the several block main shopping area. Great designer shops, local and International. It is expensive for a middle class traveler, but not out of reach. Such wonderful ambiance and not snooty. Across from Tiffany's is the local Drug Store with hysterical greeting cards for $3.66. BARGAIN! Not for kids - too slow. Also, it is great to be a 10 minute drive from a much cheaper and more active Monterey, with many activities for children and adults. A double dose of California at its best.

Carmel is a great beach to visit.
Carmel is a great beach to visit. Very pretty surrounding area, white sandy beach. But water is cold! Carmel in general tends to be very rainy/cloudy. Its not necessarily "lay out and tan" kind of vibes. But more walk the beach, play fetch with your dog, find a good nook to read a book, surf if thats what you're into.

Such a neat little town, some areas look like a fairy village according to my wife. Definitely a art town as there are a lot of art galleries. Overall it is such a cute little town with lots of cool little shops to visit and sights to see.D

- From £276.89 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 1,586 reviewsNice to be in town, but not flooded with main street tourists. Quiet but still close to everything. This hotel has Carmel Valley Roasters coffee in the rooms and lots of beautiful blooming flowers everywhere you look. The parking is also exceptional as there is a drive through loop behind the hotel and lots of spaces so you are not afraid to drive out for day trips for fear of losing the only space you've got. My dogs were very happy here as well. Super nice staff. Thanks!!!SharonUnited States
- 8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 479 reviewsWe loved our stay at this stunning hotel. Beautiful inside and out, and in the perfect location for exploring Carmel. We could see everything we wanted to by foot, including the beach (just prepare for the climb on the way back up!) and fairytale cottages. The breakfast was delicious, and the wine and nibbles every afternoon was a brilliant touch - we loved it and spent a few hours every day of our stay enjoying the wine in the sunshine. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
HeatherUnited Kingdom - From £465.87 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 581 reviewsClassic traditional California golf course resort, understated and quiet. Not flashy or glitzy, just a comfortable and pleasant retreat in a lovely valley close to the best of the California coast. The rooms are welcoming and warm, like a very upscale condo more than a five star luxury hotel. The walks along the greens are punctuated by moments of zen-like beauty, with views of native plants, birds, and the distant hills.

- From £380.47 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 312 reviewsLocation was fantastic. Had breakfast each morning at the bakery across the street. Easy walk to everything. Housekeeper was quick and efficient. Room layout was a bit unusual as you had to go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. The motel itself is older with rooms open to the outside; however, we never felt that was a security issue in Carmel by the Sea.MarkUnited States
