Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

LX3 Renaissance Carmel Valley villa Pool and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We rented this property for our family to stay in for our youngest daughter's wedding in Carmel Valley. It was PERFECT! It was spacious enough for us and three of our kids and their families. The bedrooms were comfortable and accommodated everyone. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and we were all able to fit around the dining room table to enjoy meals together. The older kids loved the game nook and if they weren't in the pool they were in the nook playing the games provided by the host. Having the cottage for our son and his family who have 2 small children worked out so well for them to escape all the noise and put the little ones to bed without trying to keep everyone else quiet. I can't say enough about the host! Excellent communication, extremely responsive and accommodating and very pleasant to work with. We had one minor issue and they addressed it immediately. The house is beautiful, centrally located in Carmel Vally, and the host is one of the best. I highly recommend this property."

Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, friendly staff and a fantastic complimentary breakfast! The place was old school and quaint, nothing modernized. We stayed for a few days during a family wedding weekend. The staff is everything. Very accommodating and friendly. The chef making the complimentary breakfast was fantastic - best avocado toast I've had! Hot eggs/quiche/frittatas on the weekends. The accommodations were rustic with some rooms being more updated than others. Regardless, the room was extremely clean along with the rest of the property. The pool was wonderful. It gets much hotter in the valley than in the town of Carmel, 17 mile drive, Monterrey so layer up."

Serene Vineyard Chateau with Pool, Hot Tub, BBQ

10/10 Excellent

"The house and grounds were lovely! The pool was amazing and I loved listening to the babbling brook/waterfall in the morning. It was perfect for our small family getaway.Fair warning - it’s a very wind-y drive. I’d go back again, for sure! My kids loved the play areas outside."

Holman Ranch Estate Vineyard & Winery

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, secluded, well-kept property."

Guest House in Sunny Carmel Valley.

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay during Monterey Jazzfest! Property was just as described. I’m sure even prettier during blooming season. Cottage/Guest House was charming; very tidy with enough space for two to enjoy a get away in the valley. Loved the special touches that made our stay more comfortable from the large tub and the relaxing, exquisite shower (multiple heads) to the comfortable robes! Small but quaint would be my choice of words to describe this property. However the outdoor space was very spacious to include plenty of deck space, hot tub and pool if one desired to use. Last but not least, Jae and Josh could not have been more accommodating!"

Little European Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet , and clean rooms . Plus , streaming services were on the tv . Only thing I can complain about it the entrance and exit ! Very steep and will ground out your car if you're not going slow enough or the right angle . Other than that , perfect stay !"
