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 - 10Scored 10

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.MariettaUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown.
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown. A beautiful spot with its own personality. The cutest shops, amazing food and outstanding beaches. Super close to Big Sur and also the 17 Mile Drive - make sure you visit Peeble Beach Golf Club!

The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 daysAAnonymous - 10Scored 10
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel.
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.Inna GlazmanUnited States of America

- From $800.55 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 244 reviewsHotel Playa Carmel is quintessential California quaint. As we stroll through the town and down to the beach it was obvious there was nowhere else we want to stay in Carmel. The staff was excellent always happy and ready to assist. From beautiful breakfast buffets, coffee/tea service early each am (for east coasters!) to excellent cappuccinos upon request-All included in the hotel cost. Although everything in town is walkable the hotel offers a shuttle service at night for when you want to dress up/drink.JohnUnited States of America
- From $250.66 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 1,169 reviewsThe location was great. Just on the end of downtown Carmel closer to the beach. We didn’t drive the whole time we were there, walked all around Carmel and also down to the beach daily. The hotel takes up about a whole block with El Fornaio restaurant and a few shops on the ground floor. The rooms are spread out, not your typical setup with hallways. Our room was quite large with a sitting area separated from the bedroom by folding doors and it was quiet at night. Loved all the windows.
ErinUnited States of America - From $243.93 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 494 reviewsFirst thing if you do get a room in the block of rooms they have such the best view of Carmel River and all the animal life that goes up and down woke up to a blue heron probably 150 ft from my window fishing line on the river I don't know if you ever seen the movie vacation with Chevy Chase will in the beginning of the movie they show they traveled through Big Sur so I could truly say if the griswalts were going through they would have stayed at the River Inn:-)
ChrisUnited States of America - From $745.24 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 189 reviewsL'Auberge Carmel is a very nice hotel. The bathroom has the most marvelous heated tile floor in front of the sink. With Carmel having fairly consistent 50-60's weather, that heated floor was wonderful when barefoot. The location was fantastic as well. We tried all 3 of the breakfast offerings -- healthy Chia seed pudding & juice shot, Avocado toast, and petit dejuner. All were very good. I liked the healthy breakfast the best and the Avocado toast the least.
Laura BishopUnited States of America - From $276.63 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,206 reviewsBeautiful morning view of the ocean as well as sunsets from our balcony! Very quiet hotel, beds were comfy and rooms were very clean. The fireplace was a nice romantic touch too. Within two blocks of the best Carmel has to offer for fine dining, casual dining and everything in between. Lots of cool little shops and breakfast places tucked along the downtown area, very quaint and easy walking from the hotel. Hotel staff was wonderful and helpful!
GoinCoastal55United States of America - From $401.09 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 457 reviewsQuality hotel. Friendly staff. Complimentary afternoon cheese and wine on the house. Popcorn in the microwave and breakfast. Quality linen and lovely room in the heart of carmel by the sea. Took electric bikes from mad dogs and englishmen just one block away, which was well worth the day out cycling the 17 mile drive away the coast into monterey.
EllenUnited Kingdom - From $524.54 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 433 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
