Hyatt Carmel Highlands
The views were spectacular. Dining in the Pacific Edge Restaurant was good. Be prepared to walk several steps & uphill to get to the rooms & parking, but it's worth it!

Hyatt Vacation Club At Highlands Inn
The property was beautiful, the view from our room was stunning, and the staff was so kind and friendly. The only issue was rooms don’t have AC and the weather was quite warm (even at night) when we stayed there

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa
The pool was such a hit for both the kids and the adults. Breakfast was scrumptious and coupled with the exceptional service from Ms. Rebecca we felt right at home and catered to. We would definitely stay here again if we ever in the area again.
