Staff was great, the view from our room was amazing the music in the bar was enjoyable
We would definitely return
Totally unassuming nestled in the cliffs overlooking the pacific. Then you walk onto the resort and the views are amazing, the rooms are phenomenal and the onsite amenities like the pool, restaurant and especially the staff are amazing.
The staff was very helpful, but some were a bit distant. The room and property were great, but the parking was somewhat limited and the walk to parking could be somewhat challenging for older guests.
Super nice place. Very quiet and well maintained. We loved our stay. Our balcony looked over the ocean and we had a kitchen which worked out great for us. Really a special experience.
The view was perfect just few basic maintenance needs to be done for the upstairs washroom door latch.
Kudos to housekeeping team for maintaining the room.
Beautiful resort!!!! And the restaurant at the resort has the most amazing view of the ocean. Staff are so friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back to this beautiful resort.
A unique property with exceptional views and natural surroundings. Well kept greenery, and grounds. Though it is a higher-end hotel, they left us without power from early evening into the late morning next day, so no heating (and you need it in the Carmel area even during the summer). The reception-desk staff was not forthcoming addressing our lack of morning coffee and power, so I did not feel really appreciated. Otherwise happy we had a chance to spend a few nights there. Memorable.
Beautiful and peaceful that sits on top of the hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Breathtaking and serene! Wonderful resort and spa! Highly recommended!
This place is amazing! It’s comfortable, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The views are breathtaking! The food is great and the service is even better. Every single member of the staff we encountered was fabulous and kind. Our room was cozy and the bed was super comfy! We’ll definitely come back.
The views were spectacular! The hotel tub was on the smaller side. But loved having the real outdoor fire pit. Everything felt very secluded and upscale.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The view from our room was beautiful! The rooms are on a hillside and there are many steps. It was extremely difficult to carry luggage to the room and back up to load. No one offered to help and the signage was terrible as to where to park.
We tried to go to the pool to relax and there were eight people there in the pool area and no chairs to sit in! The chairs were either occupied or had towels on them from people in the pool. We had to leave….
The shrimp dish at the bar was good. Food in the dining room was average.
We went to happy hour and there was no food left 45 minutes before it was over. Little to no choice on the wine etc.
Our overall opinion of this property isn’t good. I working go back there!
Historic hotel at a fantastic location. Dining and valet service was excellent. Point Lobos Suite was a disappointment due to odd layout but overall experience was very good. Be aware that there's a pitch to join their 'Hyatt Club' as the hotel seems to be switching to a time-share-like shared ownership model. Carmel Highlands is a beautiful and unique setting, nothing beats the sunset view overlooking the rugged coast.
The property was well maintained. The view from our room was amazing. We really enjoyed our two-day stay.
The only downside was parking. The nearest parking lot to our room was a decent walk up a steep hill. If you have mobility issues, please check on the parking arrangements for your specific room you book.
