Villa Mara Carmel

Carmel Point

10/10 Excellent

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. This hotel exceeded my expectations! The staff was extremely friendly & accommodating! The hotel itself is GORGEOUS - so clean & new and feels like home. Lovely outdoor seating areas with fire pits (and blankets if you need them). Love all the complimentary touches - wine at the bar, continental breakfast and room snacks. (Unfortunately, my husband and I had to leave very early in the morning, before the continental...

At first I didn't know what to expect from this resort seeing as it was literally right in the middle of the hills and grass area. From the main street, it didn't look like much, but once you get into the driveway, it opens up to a beautiful location. The valet and busboys are spot on and every helpful. The check-in process was a breeze and took only a few minutes. We were then escorted to our gorgeous room where the mini fridge was stocked and there were snack bowls filled with fresh fruit...

This hotel offers most of the things one might expect from a good hotel for a short stay. It's conveniently located close to everything but at the same time it's quiet enough. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean, nicely decorated, had everything necessary and some extras (drinking water, in-house prepared nuts and candies, coffee). Everything was just right. And what I value a lot: we've never got that unpleasant feeling you get more and more often from various...
