Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and comfortable. The continental breakfast was fabulous! Each morning the menu was slightly different and it was all delicious."

LX3 Renaissance Carmel Valley villa Pool and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"House worked well for our group of 7 adults. Lots of space plus nooks to get away. Unique architecture, easy parking, close to village. There were clean pool towels leftover from previous guests? Rental quality furnishings inside and out. For the price could use some updates but all worked fine. Would stay again because of space and location!"

Gated Carmel Valley Retreat with 20 Acres, Pool & Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely home high in the mountains."

Oak Treehouse Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful and enjoyable"

Guest House in Sunny Carmel Valley.

10/10 Excellent

"The property was lovely, and exactly as described. We were warmly greeted and made to feel comfortable wandering around outside, taking advantage of the extensive facilities. Everything inside was clean, useful, decorated with care, and absolutely perfect for an escape in the Carmel Valley."

New- Cabin by the River

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with river access. It’s a great place for a peaceful getaway. It’s fairly remote so plan to bring your own food along."

Little European Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The room was exceptionally clean, the bed was very comfortable, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into providing everything guests might need. The location was excellent and made it easy to explore the area. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the property was quiet and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

New! Soak in a Hot Tub at this Romantic Tree House Surrounded by Trees

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was comfortable and equipped with all of the basic essentials. The hot tub and deck were the real attractions for us and where we spent most of our time. The drive up was also very beautiful (we recommend driving up during golden hour). But definitely arrive while there is still light outside and download the directions and host's instructions beforehand because there is no network and the roads get narrow and winding. We found the property without any issue, but locating the specific apartment on the property was confusing at first but we figured it out (just continue walking behind the parking spot along the shed and around the back of the pool area). Would stay again!"

Soak in a Private Hot Tub while you Enjoy the Mountain Views, 30 days min.

10/10 Excellent

"The hot tub with the valley view was amazing! Appreciate how responsive Daniel was through the process before we even checked in! The only thing we were a little disappointed about was the fact that it didn’t say anywhere that it was a guest house connected to a main house which could potentially be occupied Otherwise we would stay here again for sure! It was the perfect getaway for a couple"
