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 - 10Scored 10

This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!AAnonymousUnited States of America

- From $240.98 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 1,002 reviewsIt was very close to town and we really enjoyed that it was an indepentently owned hotel. The room was spacious and there was a little cute courtyard with a table (it seemed it was primarily for use for the rooms directly off the courtyard, but we sat there anyway!). The fireplace warmed the place right up. It also made a big difference traveling as a family to have 1.5 bathrooms in our room. The hotel itself is a great value for the Carmel area. We would stay there again.LysaUnited States of America
- From $451.24 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 110 reviewsWe stayed only one night, but the staff is so helpful and a quick check in that let us time to enjoy Carmel. The rooms are very clean. Amazing location, don’t expect the best views, but it’s 3 streets from center and lots of places to go. The free parking it’s also amazing you can leave the car there and walk for 10min to the beach and 5 to Ocean ave!
FRANCISCAUnited States of America - From $298.30 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 441 reviewsExcellent location, with the town of Carmel less than a 10-minute walk and the beach just a little over 20 minutes on foot. The outdoor communal area at the hotel was a nice touch and we enjoyed relaxing there in the evening after wandering around the town, with comfortable seating, and fires to keep us warm when the temperature dropped off.RichardUnited Kingdom

This is a well renovated hotel in a great location in the heart of Carmel by the Sea. the room was graceful, timeless, quiet and romantic with thick, lush bedding, a separate spa tub, fireplace(electris) and TV. We will return for sure.
