Independent Central Coast California hotels

"Our stay at Bacara was exceptional from start to finish. The personalized service stood out immediately, from the warm valet attendants who greeted us by name, to the seamless check in experience, and the turn down service every each night. Each interaction felt genuine without being over bearing. The property itself is stunning, with world class amenities that make it hard to leave: multiple pools, ocean view lounges, spa, and maintained walking paths . The only caveat depending on which villa you're in, you may have a bit of hill to walk. That said, the resort has golf carts to escort guests to their villas (especially handy after a couple of drinks). All in all, Bacara delivers a 5 star experience with warmth, privacy and personalized service. "

"Great location, easy stay. Great keyless entry"

"I can’t say enough about the staff! Everyone was so helpful and kind. The entire facility was squeaky clean. Our room, #439, was a corner room with an actual balcony with chairs, a view of cannery row and the bay. Because it was a corner room, it was bigger with a very large bathroom. Nice workout facility and pool too! Walking distance to good restaurants and a mile or two to excellent non-touristy eateries - Monterey Fish House & The Sand Bar on pier 2, so lots of options. We highly recommend the Intercontinental!"

"This was awesome. Very friendly, accessible to all the shops, and restaurants. Very clean, and the staff were very friendly, and caring. Would definitely recommend "

"The beach view was beautiful and breathtaking. If you're looking for peace and serenity ✨️ 😌 this is it. The parking lot had construction on the pavement because it was blocked off with a black tarp so we couldn't park next to our room so that was the downside. I think the continental breakfast is made just for kids only not for adults. Not a hearty breakfast just enough to get by."
