La Playa is a beautiful property in a beautiful town. Close to the shops but also quiet and near the beach. Staff is very friendly.

Our experience was substantially diminished due to the power outage that occurred during the majority of our stay due to the severe storms. I know it was not the fault of the hotel but I would have expected an offer to discount our stay due to the inconvenience. Also the TV never worked and I was put on hold for a long time and finally hung up without resolution. On a positive note, Michael the person who greeted us on arrival, made our dinner reservations and drove us and returned us to the hotel is a La Playa treasure!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at La Playa and will be back for sure! Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean was dreamy. The extra amenities and welcoming staff take this already beautiful property to the next level. This trip was in celebration of our 10 yr anniversary and we had a chilled bottle of champagne and a card waiting in our room upon our arrival. It's small touches like this that make a lasting impression! Cant wait to come back

We had such a wonderful stay here, we will definitely be back! They had afternoon sangria, live music on Sunday, evening homemade cookies, and the breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I have seen in a long time. The staff were all fantastic and so helpful, they even upgraded us to an ocean view room simply because it was available. I can’t recommend enough! And the beach is a short walk away, as is the center of town. We walked everywhere!

All around, a beautiful retreat hotel. Staffs were hospital and accommodating. We were upgraded to a room w/ ocean view for my birthday without extra charge. Breakfast spread was generous which included mimosas, eggs & waffle made to order. Classy & cozy interior, down to the details of initials on the robes. Free shuttle to/fro dinning locations in the area was convenient. Even more special when you come back from dinner, and they serve warm chocolate chip cookies. so delicious!

La Playa hotel is a unique blend of a cozy B&B and a hotel. The rooms are well appointed, the breakfast is exceptional and the staff is very friendly and gracious. The hotel is walking distance to the beach, Carmel shops and restaurants. I highly recommend La Playa Hotel. Can’t wait to go again.

We stay here rather consistently and it is consistently good. If there ever is an issue, it is addressed right away -- and to our advantage! The food at Bud's we find excellent. This will continue to be our destination of choice.

What a wonderful treat! Gorgeous hotel — a step into the past with every modern convenience one could wish for. Great daily champagne breakfast and yummy Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies every evening. The staff was wonderful, providing a dining shuttle into the main part of town every night so we didn’t have to use our car. Can’t wait to come back!

Rooms are small, Wi-Fi in room not available the first day and a half. Service is great and attentive. The breakfast is very good. Located closer to beach than main part of town. Restaurants are all walkable but up a steep incline for 3-4 blocks. There is no elevator.

We like staying here very much, the only issue was the smell of mildew in our bathroom, this was the only reason for four stars rather than five

Absolutely lovely
LaPlaya Hotel is wonderful. Beautiful grounds, friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic breakfast including made to order omelets and waffles. Bar onsite and a fabulous view on the terrace. This is an absolutely lovely place. Excellent location...Close to the beach and close to downtown. Complimentary shuttle service and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the evening. I think I found my favorite place to stay in lovely Carmel.
