The view was the best thing about it all. A beautiful sunset and the reflection of the sun during the day makes everything worth it. The amenities were ok, a lot of them are outdated. The room was nice and kept clean and well maintained.

The room was great and everything else. But the room above us has been loud with the kids jumping and running around early mornibg ab late evenings. But because the quiet hours were only from 10 pm to 7 am, it didn't really matter if you complain abouyt

Excellent, Romantic Getaway in Carmel

Incredible hotel villas with breathtaking views! We loved all of the amenities, the campus, and 3 individual hot tubs sprinkled amongst the premises. The villa itself was very nice, I loved the tub! Beautiful, well kept grounds and very friendly helpful staff!

Beautiful Hotel, gorgeous views they have done a nice job remodeling the rooms. Fireplaces and ocean views are lovely. The only issue is the check in is too late at 4pm and the check out is too early at 10am it is just not worth the price to stay at this hotel with that short of time to enjoy the room and property.
