Hyatt Carmel Highlands

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

10/10 Excellent
"Everything was lovely. I enjoed this getaway for a few days to myself. I kept up my workout routine in the gym. The drinks were delicious and strong (3-5p) is happy hour so you get 30% off on top of the 10-15% discount you get if you're staying. Also, There's wine tasting on Wednesdays and that was awesome (I finished mine overlooking the ocean and sunset on my private balcony). The food is delicious here. Didn't care for the clam chowder too much, but the halibut and the roast on the plantain dish was delicious lol The only thing I was underwhelmed about was no room service and the spa's(jacuzzis) there onsite. But, Highly recommend and i'll be back."

During late spring, the coastal hills are green and wildflowers are in bloom, offering picturesque scenery. The days are typically sunny with mild temperatures, making it ideal for hiking and exploring the numerous state parks and trails like Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. This period is excellent for couples who want to enjoy scenic drives and outdoor activities without the peak summer crowds.

Early fall also provides pleasant weather with fewer fog advisories than summer. The ocean temperatures are at their warmest, which can be appealing for those interested in coastal activities. This time of year is superb for solo travelers seeking a peaceful escape, as many popular viewpoints along Highway 1, such as Bixby Bridge, are less congested, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

While summer offers consistently warm weather, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
