Top Carmel Hotel Reviews

La Playa Hotel

La Playa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property!! Staff was friendly and very helpful. Everything very clean and well maintained. Just a 2 minute walk to the beach, and a short (10 min) walk to the center of the Village of Carmel. While that walk is largely up hill to town, it’s not bad. There’s a free hotel shuttle to/from the Village that’s available 5-10pm. We rarely used it, as the walk was nice. My adult daughter and I felt completely safe walking between town and the hotel even at 10pm when everything was dark and quiet. The complimentary breakfast is AWESOME. Definitely recommend."
