The Ocean view is so beautiful and the restaurant is amazing, the only thing is that we carried some heavy luggages and we had to carry them with the stairs, but the property design is cool.

Great stay. Spectacular view of Highlands from our balcony. Dining options reduced during stay (restaurant closed certain days…). Quiet and away from Carmel town centre amenities (shopping,dining). Point Lobos hiking nearby was incredible with some beautiful vistas.

Still a nice place but it’s getting old and out dated. Construction around the pool which was closed was on going noise, not really loud but was noticeable. Overall still a nice place to stay. Restaurant was also nice with a great view, food was delicious but limited selections.
