    Very beautiful and quaint but painfully overpriced as a whole. You can’t get a scoop of ice cream for less than $10. Only go if money is not an object at all. Expect to spend $50+/person for every meal.

    Very pretty location with lots of boutique shops and variety of restaurants serving great food. Carmel beach is very beautiful but not for swimming in the sea due to the strong undercurrents. We stayed 1 night which was about right for us as we saw all we wanted to see. If travelling from Monterey, definitely do the 17 mile drive, It was stunning!

    A beautiful but expensive city.

    A beautiful but expensive city. The vibe is wine tasting, jewelry, art, designer clothing and restaurants with a beach nearby. The quality is good everywhere, with some exceptional locations. If you're looking for more than shopping and dining in a quiet, beautiful area, you may want to look elsewhere.

    Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula provide one of California's most impressive gems. The natural beauty of the coast is unique, abundant and memorable. But be forewarned: Once upon a time, Carmel-by-the-Sea was the very picture of "rustic." That charm has morphed into what my partner has described, regarding downtown, as "an amusement park for Silicon Valley brahmins." If you don't know what that means, just be prepared for a show of excessive wealth and commerce, and bring lots of bucks.

    Carmel is one of my favorite places to visit.

    Carmel is one of my favorite places to visit. It has many things to offer. The natural beauty of the environment is a dog-friendly environment. The beach is a beautiful place to watch the sunset, but I recommend you bring a jacket. Wonderful dining spots to get a bite to eat and then take a walk around the area to burn off the calories.

    The hotel had an amazing location close to everything in Carmel, shops, restaurants, bars... Would describe as a boutique hotel. The rooms are lovely, the ambience of the hotel, water features, firepits were lovely.. ...we didn't want to leave the hotel in the evening as it was so relaxed and there were some great pizzas on offer. Another great touch was the complimentary breakfast! We travelled through California and stayed at quite a few hotels. This was the only hotel offering this!!

    We loved the excellent location in the heart of Carmel, close to many great restaurants and boutique shops. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with very comfortable beds and a cozy sitting area by the fireplace. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We also really enjoyed the happy hour with local wine and a selection of tasty snacks – a lovely extra!
