Beautiful hotel,beautiful grounds. Very nice rooms,excellent breakfast and nice bar. Friendly staff.
United States of AmericaThe room had a great view of the ocean and a peaceful view of the courtyard with a bubbling fountain. Plenty of outdoor amenities. Great brunch and a fun bar.
United States of AmericaAmazing grounds, great location (walking distance to shops and restaurants - or take the shuttle), wine reception, champagne breakfast, friendly staff. Great romantic getaway.
United States of AmericaThe setting/ location, the breakfast, the team in the lounge all were excellent.
United States of AmericaThe breakfast was amazing and included! The grounds were beautiful and very close to the beach and walking distance to town.
United States of AmericaThe location of this property is perfect. Right in the middle of "downtown" Carmel, surrounded by quaint little cottages and only a couple blocks walk to the beautiful beach. The rooms were spacious with the most comfortable bed! The Continental breakfast was one of the largest and best I've ever had and the entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back.
United States of AmericaOur three night stay at La Playa was wonderful from the start. The staff is very courteous, attentive, and welcoming. They offered us Sangia when we arrived; there were manager wine tastings each evening; later in the evenings there were hot cookies and milk available. We received turn down service each night too. The breakfast was delicious and offered a range of choices including champagne, omelettes, waffles, fresh fruits, assorted cereals, yogurts, granola, and more. We especially enjoyed the warmness and beauty of the property filled with beautiful plants and flowers. We spent evenings having cocktails and watching the sunset on the outside porch. One evening we took our own wine and cheese we had purchased from Carmel and sat in the garden! Parking at the hotel lot was never a problem. There was a complementary hotel shuttle that was timely and took us to dinner each evening and brought us back. We look forward to returning!
United States of AmericaPerfect hospitality. My husband I planned to visit for 3 nights (without our kids) and extended to 4 nights. All the staff were truly welcoming and did extra things to make our stay perfect. My husband and I thought it was the perfect place. The grounds made it enjoyable to relax at the property in the evenings. Our bartender Riva in the bar was fabulous. I thought the staff may be a bit snobby given the area, but they weren't at all. Beautiful hotel and garden/grounds. Several Hospitality events throughout the day that made for fun memories. I know it is pricier, but it is worth it with the bonuses of the beautiful landscaping, sitting areas, wonderful staff, very nice breakfast, and hospitality events. Great location near beach. We will visit again!
United States of AmericaBreakfast was wonderful. Wait staff was excellent. Rest of hotel staff also excellent.
United States of AmericaThe hotel and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and strive to meet your every need. My husband and I have back problems and Resh, the front desk supervisor, graciously upgraded us to a room with a king size bed that was much more comfortable. She was amazing! The daily brunch is delicious and many options are available.
